    Wow. I’m a little afraid to get my hopes up for it turning out as good as the original, but I admit I’m a little excited to hear this.

      I haven’t checked in a while, so they may have walked back on this, but supposedly we finally get coop in the next one.

      I liked BZ, but I LOVED the original. The original is an 8/10 for me, and BZ is a 6/10 (not in shitty game reviewer numbers, for me a 5/10 is a game I thought was fun to play. And 8/10 is insanely good and almost no games get a 10.)

      I’m interested to see what they do next!

      The main appeal is going to be the multilayer integrated from the beginning.

      Don’t get too excited. The studio was been acquired by the publisher of PUBG, and their stated plans are to release subnautica 2 as a mainly multi-player live service game. I don’t think subnautica 2 is going to be anything like what you’re expecting…

  Unknown Worlds Entertainment is currently making another Subnautica game. They are publicly referring to it as “Subnautica 2.” So apparently they consider Below Zero to be a standalone expansion to Subnautica a bit like Half-Life: Opposing Force rather than a full sequel.

  A few things that I have heard the developers confirm about this new game:

  • It will take place in the same universe as the first two games.
  • It will not take place on planet 4546B
  • There will be swimming in it
  • There will be submarines in it. Plural.
  • It will be co-op capable. If I understand what they’ve communicated right, it is going to be a single-player game that will have a “join game” button so you can invite a small number of buddies to join you.
  • From the screenshots they’ve shown, there’s going to be colorful ocean wildlife in it.
  • According to the Wiki, one of the original concept artists and the composer for Below Zero’s soundtrack are working on it.

  They’re playing a lot of details close to the chest for now, very few gameplay or story concepts have been discussed. It is very likely going to be an ocean survival game with a nonzero chance of having your submarine bitten off by a 300 foot scream eel.

  BZ was never Subnautica 2. It was a spinoff produced by a different team. It was originally supposed to be an expansion for the first game, but it got big enough they decided to release it standalone.
