Subnautica 2 Team Reveals Details on Protagonist and Ocean Map

Unknown Worlds has released new details about Subnautica 2, although an early access release date still remains unspecified. In a recent video Q&A, the team confirmed that the game will return to a silent protagonist, unlike the previous standalone expansion Below Zero. Players will have customizable options for their character, enhancing personal expression though full features are not available until after the early access launch. The game's expansive ocean world promises new mysteries and gameplay experiences, aiming for it to be the biggest entry in the series. Fans can expect new vehicles and improved base building, with a design focus on solo gameplay alongside co-op support for up to four players. Subnautica 2 is expected to release in 2025 and will be available on Game Pass on launch day.

Subnautica 2 is scheduled for a 2025 release, but an exact date has not been confirmed as of now. It will launch first on PC and Xbox platforms, with other platforms to follow later.

Subnautica 2 is highly anticipated as it continues the legacy of the acclaimed Subnautica series, known for its immersive underwater exploration and survival mechanics. The original game was celebrated for creating a sense of isolation and dread, which the developers aim to recapture with Subnautica 2, while introducing new mechanics and features to enhance the overall gaming experience.
