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.

Absolutely worth $30. I play with low-mid graphics settings and the game still looks amazing. Also, the trip to alien ruins from the life pod terrifies me every time. My only complaint is that the scanner (the big one you place in a base) still shows places you've already been. Also, sometimes when I mark something on the scanner the marker disappears as soon as I walk away.
Very fun and good quality game. This is the first time I have played any of the subnatica games, however this game is allready one of my favorites.
Captivating
good
Good game, glad they won that dispute. The game is developed enough to play in early access as far as I can tell, but I'm sure I will run into issues as I get further out. Regarding stability, there are some things that the game simply doesn't have yet, like in the older one when you run into fish it pushes them out of the way if your inside a submarine, but currently that isn't the case, you hit the fish and it jolts you a bit because they have collision but can't be pushed out of the way. If the docking station is too close to the ground it bugs out a bit when you get in it and the sub is released....but it's not that big of a deal. There are some cool and very interesting things in this game that I none of the previous ones had, and I was really surprised by just how smooth the game feels. I expected there to be hitches and stutters but I haven't experienced a single performance issue.
amazing game
If you like the first game for the open world, story and exploring the depths of the ocean. This follows about the same formula such as surviving off the land, gathering resources to build a base and building machines to explore the deepest parts of the ocean safely.
Beautiful, fascinating, thrilling adventure to the unknown depths!
Como persona que tiene mucho sexo a toda hora, puedo decir que este juego es 100% parecido a tener sexo con una mujer, como yo siempre hago. Obviamente este juego no me puso caliente. no soy gay, yo tengo mucho sexo con mujeres reales como para gastar más de 15 minutos en este juego. Por otro lado me gustaría recomendar este juego a la gente que no tiene sexo (no como yo porque yo tengo mucho sexo con mujeres, mucho) como si ahí hubiese una mujer desnuda y está desnuda. Ella también se ve como una de mis varias novias con la que tuve mucho sexo. He tenido mucho sexo. También soy muy guapo y las mujeres SIEMPRE quieren tener sexo conmigo porque soy muy musculoso y guapo y muy bueno en los videojuegos. Todas mis novias dicen que soy muy bueno en el sexo y jugando videojuegos y siendo guapo. Una de mis enamoradas me pidió tener sexo con ella pero le dije que estaba jugando un juego de sexo y empezó a llorar y se hizo lesbiana y se suicidó porque no tuve sexo con ella. Tengo sexo con mujeres, no con hombres, no soy gay. Soy muy cool y guapo así que las chichas siempre quieren tener sexo conmigo porque soy muy cool y sexy. Mi pene es muy grande. A todas mis novias les gusta mi pene porque es muy grande y soy muy bueno en el sexo y lo soy, tengo mucho sexo. También soy muy guapo y sexy y tengo mucho sexo.
