About
Subnautica 2 is an underwater survival adventure game set on an all-new alien world. It is the next chapter in the Subnautica universe, developed by Unknown Worlds.
Driven from your home by ongoing conflict, Alterra offers you the chance at a new life. But as the colony ship CICADA shepherds you and your fellow Pioneers to your new home, something goes awry. The ship’s AI insists that your mission should continue. Stranded and faced with near-insurmountable odds, you must do everything in your power to survive. The future of humanity on this world is in your hands.
Subnautica 2 is being crafted as a single-player experience that you can optionally play in online co-operative multiplayer with up to three friends. You can choose from four pre-designed characters, with more characters and customization options coming throughout Early Access. Work together to explore long-forgotten ruins and learn to adapt to a planet that might not want you there.
To survive the depths and make this planet your home, you’ll need to utilize all the tools at your disposal. Traverse vibrant and breathtaking biomes with your Tadpole submersible. Design and customize bases to return to when your adventures push you beyond the safety of shallow waters. As Early Access develops, so too will your array of tools, equipment, and vehicles. Upgrades will help push you beyond your boundaries and unlock the secrets of this strange world.
Scan and study a rich world of biodiversity to understand life here. Discover everything from the smallest creatures to towering Leviathans. Experience the wonder, and sometimes danger, lurking around every corner. Every dive is an opportunity to uncover why the ship's AI is so determined to continue the mission and what mysteries lie beneath the surface of this breathtaking new frontier.
Subnautica 2 is an Early Access title in active development. Throughout this journey, we will continuously expand the world with additional biomes, creatures, and craftables, while expanding the narrative. You may encounter bugs, in-development features, and performance issues. Your feedback is the cornerstone of our development process. Join us and help shape the next chapter of the Subnautica universe.
Subnautica 2 is being developed by Unknown Worlds, the studio behind the award-winning Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero. Our journey began with the 2003 Half-Life mod Natural Selection, and today we have evolved into a fully remote, globally distributed team spanning from the United States to the United Kingdom, France, Australia, and beyond. Defined by a philosophy of open development and over a decade of community-focused innovation, we invite you to dive back into the depths with a studio dedicated to pushing the boundaries of the survival genre.

game great love
so good
so much better than subnautica 1 and below zero, i'm very excited for the future updates to come
For a story about surviving in an ocean it has emotion struggle and hardships just to get water. I played subnautica 2 while it was in early accesses would recommend
Les voy a ser bien honesto, esperaba más. Soy fanático de corazón de toda la saga Subnáutica completando todos los logros de subnautica, subnautica: bellow zero, y ahora subnautica 2. Pero no se porque siento que el juego lo sacaron muy verde (muchos materiales bugeados en el mapa, el mismo mapa sin terminar, bugs en las texturas de muchas partes del mapa, te puedes no clipear en algunas estructuras de los fragmentos de las naves de alterra, y bueno mejor no continuo), como que se sintió muy orientado a multiplayer (siendo que el alma y estructura de los dos anteriores fueron single player), el final (si es que a eso se le puede llamar final porque se siente como una historia inconclusa y hasta parece tirando a DLC) no me gusto del todo. Como que dejaron la vara muy alta con las entregas anteriores y, tengo que decirlo, no se sintió que el juego haya sido creado con amor. Como en las anteriores entregas. Se nota, en como están hechas las cosas, los problemas que tuvieron los devs y mas que nada los administrativos. Y ya para terminar, la historia ya esta terminada pero los devs dijeron que van a continuar sacando actualizaciones y mas mecanicas, asi que te invitan a seguir jugando/explorando (aunque paran este punto ya habras recorrido todo el mapa y no quedara nada mas por hacer). No era lo que esperaba pero estoy minimamente satisfecho.
实在无法理解,这么好玩的游戏没有任何竞品。目前就很有趣,期待作者能把更多区域做出来。目前看来,还是蛮不错的。
It's early access but suprisingly content rich, competling EA took me about 14 hours without a guide for the first time. The biomes that already exist are well thought out and look amazing, the only thing that could seriously be improved is performance. I'm running on Proton and with some launch options it works well but near larger bases it goes lower than 20 fps. Excited to see more!
I'm a massive Subnautica fan and I was stoked about this release. The opening of the game if fantastic and really sets the feel. The story is far more in depth than the first, and some of the biome designs are pretty awesome. Being able to play with friends is a great new feature and we've been building bases and exploring together which is always fun. BUT...... There's something missing, it might be because we're playing early access (god forbid companies release whole games these days) but there's something in the background, I found myself thinking "what's the point". (To be clear I play farming simulator on real time and spend hours ploughing fields so its not for want of grinding for resources)- but there's just something tangible that I cant put my finger on that's Sub2 is devoid of. Maybe once all of the content is release this will go, but right now I struggle to find the want to sink time into this game. I would recommend it, but wait until its all come out first!!!!
best game ever realy cool wood recomand
bardzo dobrze dopracowana gra i fabularnie i graficznie nie mogę się doczekać co będzie w pełnej wersji
