Summary
It’s going to be a big year forSubnauticafans, as developer Unknown Worlds revealed that we’llget a look at Subnautica 2’s early access plans at some point this year. With summer approaching, which will inevitably bring a whole host of video game conferences, showcases, and gameplay demonstrations, fans have been drawing up their lists of what they want to see in Subnautica 2.
The question was first put to the Subnautica subreddit by user Any_Change_63, who asked players what they want to see from the sequel. Their question was duly answered, as hundreds of fellow fans flooded to the post’s comments to explain why the feature they want should be included. For example, user Weirdusername15 says they want the game to be “Deeper, wider, and scarier”, echoing the sentiment of a lot of fans who want the game tolean into the horror aspect a little bit more.
To add to that, user Mikejacobs14 is hoping that Subnautica 2 is lonelier than the previous games, another very common request, as players have their fingers crossed that the game willmake them “totally isolated” this time around. On the gameplay side, user Tobyfoxfan07 wants Unknown Worlds to expand the game’s base customization options, while user Bakesh wants there to be a massive predator that stalks the entire map rather than be bound to a specific area. Terrifying.
What Do We Already Know About Subnautica 3?
A lot of users also have their fingers crossed that multiplayer is going to be a feature in Subnautica, completely unaware that Unknown Worlds has already confirmed it will be a thing. We don’t know much about Subnautica 2, but we do know a few things thanks to some official updates from Unknown Worlds in things such as earnings reports. For example, it was revealed a couple of months ago that the game will be single-player focused, but will have an optional co-op mode.
It was also revealed thatSubnautica 2 will be a live service title, but only in the sense that the developer plans to keep supporting the game after launch. There will be no typical trappings of live service titles such as microtransactions or battle passes, so you can rest easy there.
Our most recent update on the game included a first look, as developer Liam Tart postedthe first in-game screenshot of Subnautica 2back in February, which you can find above. Apart from that Subnautica 2 remains a mystery, but let’s hope that Unknown Worlds doesn’t keep us in the dark for too much longer.
