+# Subnautica 2+ ++ +| **Developer(s)** | Unknown Worlds |+| :--- | :--- |+| **Website** | https://subnautica.com/en |+| **Release Date** | May 14, 2026 (Early Access) |+| **Genre** | Action, Adventure |+| **Platform(s)** | PC, Xbox Series X/S |+ +> 🚨 Warning: Oxygen Low 🚨+> ― Tagline used in tweet to promote the teaser trailer for Subnautica 2+ +Subnautica 2 is an open-world underwater survival game currently being developed by Unknown Worlds and the first full sequel to the original Subnautica. Early Access for Subnautica 2 was announced on October 17th, 2024, and is slated to release on May 14th, 2026.+ +It is unlikely that Subnautica 2 will be available for Playstation ahead of its full release, as Playstation does not offer previews like Xbox or Early Access titles like PC. The Early Access period is expected to last 2-3 years, and will follow the same update structure as the previous two entries in the series.+ +Unlike its Unity-based predecessors, Subnautica 2 will be made in Unreal Engine 5. It will also be the first in the franchise to feature an official, optional multiplayer mode, with support for up to four players and no PvP. There are currently no plans for Subnautica 2 to have VR support.+ +Season passes, battle passes, subscriptions, and/or microtransactions will not be added to the game at any point. No generative AI will be used during the game's development.+ +Not much is currently known about Subnautica 2's setting, other than that it takes place sometime after the events of both Subnautica: Below Zero and Natural Selection on an all-new, unknown moon; characters, locations, creatures, and vehicles from previous entries will not return.+ +## Store Description+ +Subnautica 2 is an underwater survival adventure game set on an all-new alien world. It is the next chapter in the Subnautica universe, developed by Unknown Worlds.+ +Driven from your home by ongoing conflict, Alterra offers you the chance at a new life. But as the colony ship CICADA shepherds you and your fellow Pioneers to your new home, something goes awry. The ship’s AI insists that your mission should continue. Stranded and faced with near-insurmountable odds, you must do everything in your power to survive. The future of humanity on this world is in your hands.+ +### PLAY ALONE OR WITH FRIENDS+ +Subnautica 2 is being crafted as a single-player experience that you can optionally play in online co-operative multiplayer with up to three friends. You can choose from four pre-designed characters, with more characters and customization options coming throughout Early Access. Work together to explore long-forgotten ruins and learn to adapt to a planet that might not want you there.+ +### ADAPT TO SURVIVE+ +To survive the depths and make this planet your home, you’ll need to utilize all the tools at your disposal. Traverse vibrant and breathtaking biomes with your Tadpole submersible. Design and customize bases to return to when your adventures push you beyond the safety of shallow waters. As Early Access develops, so too will your array of tools, equipment, and vehicles. Upgrades will help push you beyond your boundaries and unlock the secrets of this strange world.+ +### EXPLORE THE UNKNOWN+ +Scan and study a rich world of biodiversity to understand life here. Discover everything from the smallest creatures to towering Leviathans. Experience the wonder, and sometimes danger, lurking around every corner. Every dive is an opportunity to uncover why the ship's AI is so determined to continue the mission and what mysteries lie beneath the surface of this breathtaking new frontier.+ +### DESIGNED FOR EARLY ACCESS+ +Subnautica 2 is an Early Access title in active development. Throughout this journey, we will continuously expand the world with additional biomes, creatures, and craftables, while expanding the narrative. You may encounter bugs, in-development features, and performance issues. Your feedback is the cornerstone of our development process. Join us and help shape the next chapter of the Subnautica universe.+ +### CRAFTED BY UNKNOWN WORLDS+ +Subnautica 2 is being developed by Unknown Worlds, the studio behind the award-winning Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero. Our journey began with the 2003 Half-Life mod Natural Selection, and today we have evolved into a fully remote, globally distributed team spanning from the United States to the United Kingdom, France, Australia, and beyond. Defined by a philosophy of open development and over a decade of community-focused innovation, we invite you to dive back into the depths with a studio dedicated to pushing the boundaries of the survival genre.+ +Welcome aboard, Pioneer.+ +## Gallery+ +### Store Screenshots+ ++Store screenshot featuring a player-built seabase.+ ++Store screenshot featuring a moonpool.+ ++Store screenshot featuring multiplayer.+ ++Store screenshot featuring bloom and an unknown creature.+ ++Store screenshot featuring a player piloting a Tadpole.+ ++Ditto, in another store screenshot.+ +### Store Screenshots (Old)+ ++Preview screenshot, featuring the Wakemaker.+ ++Preview screenshot, featuring the Hammerhead.+ ++Preview screenshot, featuring the Tadpole.+ ++Preview screenshot, featuring a Graveyard biome.+ ++Preview screenshot, featuring a Plateaus biome.+ +### Development Screenshots+ ++Development screenshot.
