Summary

  • Rock, Paper, Shotgun has published a Devlog video from the studio making Subnautica 2, which shows some of the features in development, including a submersible speeder and some of the co-op gameplay which will be a feature of the game.
  • The studio says that the game will allow players to evolve their genetics to adapt their body for survival in the water, and the video shows characters scanning slime to find useful genetics.
  • However, Rock, Paper, Shotgun says that the strength of the Subnautica games is that players discover features for themselves as they play, so the game is probably worth waiting to fully release before playing, unless you are interested in debugging and undergoing early access.
  • The game is expected to be released later in the year, and will launch with a few biomes and an incomplete story, which the studio expects early access to last 2-3 years.
