A new Subnautica game is in the works
The sequel will take place in a "new science fiction world"
www.gamesradar.comI don’t have live access to current news in this moment, but here’s what’s been reported recently about Subnautica games and where things stood most recently.
Overview of recent Subnautica developments
- Subnautica 2 (the next entry in the Subnautica series) has been a recurring topic since 2024, with multiple outlets noting Krafton’s involvement and Unknown Worlds’ development. Early indications pointed to a substantial, possibly multiplayer-enabled sequel, but official details and dates have varied across announcements.[2][4][5]
- Public updates over the last couple of years have stressed that any early access or release plans for the next game would be shared later rather than in 2024, despite initial expectations set by publisher communications.[4]
- Some reports have framed the project as the next chapter in underwater survival, potentially expanding features beyond the single-player focus of the original titles. The exact scope (single-player vs. co-op, platform availability, and release window) has not been consistently confirmed in official channels.[5][4]
What to expect based on industry chatter and official positioning
- Next chapter in the Subnautica universe: The project is described as continuing the Subnautica lineage, with emphasis on exploration, survival, and underwater ecosystems. Details like new environments, vehicles, or Leviathans have been mentioned anecdotally in coverage but not officially finalized.[3][2]
- Release timing: Multiple reports suggest the next entry would appear after a prolonged development period, with some speculation about early access phases, but no fixed date has been confirmed across authoritative sources in the most recent public statements.[3][4]
- Cross-platform considerations: Early reporting has indicated PC and console targets, yet platform specifics have not been officially locked in, and updates often reiterate that plans can shift during development.[2][3]
