Subnautica is a horror game. I loved it.
I thought they said they were done with their Subnautica series for now? Either way, hell ya this sounds awesome. Just hope they have respawning materials if it has more focus on multiplayer.
Did they fix all of the bugs? Subnautica 1 is still buggy as shit.
To answer the obvious question - I don’t know whether this means it’s not coming to Steam, Epic Games Store or other PC storefronts, but it sounds like it’s a Microsoft-only joint for the minute.
Apparently the dude couldn’t be bothered to check the steam store page:
And just for the sake of completion, yes, it also has an Epic store page.
Lmao nice. Hopefully it doesn’t require Microsoft. Would love to play this on Steam Deck with my friends
Looks like your good. It doesn’t say a Microsoft account is required like it does on other store pages like forza horizon’s
(This may just be because the store page is incomplete)
Below Zero scratched a bit of the Subnautica itch, but it didn’t reach the same highs. Hopefully Subnautica 2 can somehow recapture some of the magic of the first one.
The first one had one advantage the others will never have, it was brand new, everything was new. Any other that comes out you’ll have expectations. It needs to be better to even match how good it felt to play for the first time.
Pleeeease let the second game be alone with no other characters other than if you’re playing multiplayer. The writing in BZ was uhhhhhh okay. I gave Subnautica an 8/10 but BZ a 6/10. On the real scale, not the stupid-ass game review scale. 6/10 is a good game with flaws.
They’ve got Seth Dickinson as part of the writing team and literally everything I’ve read of his is fantastic, including game stuff and his novels and short stories, so I’m hopeful.
That brings me hope!
The biggest spooky factor of Subnautica was being alone and surrounded by the unknown. I guess they aren’t going for that this time.
Compared to the first, Below Zero was okay. I predict their third game is going to be “meh”.
The developers are careful to point out that if you’re one of “those who prefer the eerily beautiful solitude of solo play, Subnautica 2 will still provide that familiar experience, and prove equally as challenging.”

The IP rot industry continues.
That’s such a nonsensical statement, I don’t even think you know what it means.
