Subnautica 2 is an underwater survival adventure game set on an all-new alien ocean world. It is the next chapter in the Subnautica universe, developed by Unknown Worlds.

 

New World, New Adventure
A new world awaits alongside an all-new story. You are a pioneer traveling to a distant world, but something is amiss. The ship's AI insists you carry on the mission. This world is too dangerous for humans to survive… Unless you change what it means to be human. What creatures, intelligent or otherwise, await your arrival?

 

Explore with Friends
Play alone or with up to three friends in online multiplayer co-op. Whether exploring mysterious ruins, building custom bases, or adventuring deeper into the world… The challenge of this planet will test your ingenuity and ability to adapt, in unexpected and curious ways.
Craft Submersibles, Tools, and Bases
Survival depends on utilizing the right tools. Alongside basic items such as your Scanner and Flashlight, you'll find recipes for more advanced tools, equipment, and submersibles. Bases are more customizable with an overhauled building system. New tools allow for greater adaptation to the world.

 

Uncover Diverse New Biomes
From towering underwater cliffs to lush coral fields, this aquatic alien world is brimming with vibrant and breathtaking biomes, each teeming with diverse ecosystems and unique creatures. But something isn't right. The world is out of balance. What happened here? What happened to you? And more importantly, where are you?

 

Study Mysterious Lifeforms
Uncover a rich world full of mysterious lifeforms, from the smallest fish to the largest Leviathans. Scan creatures to learn more about them. Use your Biosampler to take samples for study. As you learn more about this world, evolve your genetics to adapt your body for survival.

 

Survive Terrifying Depths
This world is vast and deep. Venture beyond the safety of shallow waters, descending into a dark unknown. Wonder and danger lurks around every corner. To survive this planet, you'll need to push beyond your boundaries and unlock the secrets of this strange world.

I never played this game myself because my anxiety would go through the roof and give me panic attacks, but i watched the entire gameplay of it and i remember being the most beautiful exploration game.

It's excellent! It's an exploration game at its core but at the same time it has horror elements and fascinating lore, which I expect to be fleshed out in this sequel. Sure, the graphics are a bit outdated, but it still is a gorgeous game overall. I don't know what system you play on but it is 50% on the PlayStation store currently. Highly recommended!

I thought Below Zero was the sequel to the first one?

That's what everyone thinks anyway

Below Zero is basically Subnautica 1.5 a sequel to Subnautica 1 and both are on the same planets. I'm not sure if Subnautica 2 will be on the same planet or not. Upcoming game also uses Unreal Engine 5 instead of Unity which I think is why co-op was made possible.

i use Steam, the base game is 30 € but there is an ultimate bundle which has Below Zero (?). Is that a bonus dlc or something? Do you recommend to buy that one or the base game?

Honestly, I can't tell you because I haven't played Below Zero. I do plan on getting it soon though. It's up to you if you want the bundle or not.

This is so exciting. Subnautica 1 is one of the most memorable games I've ever place, it was something I had never experienced with video games before. It's beautiful, chilling, mysterious and scaring. I'll never forget the first time I jumped into that really deep part of the map, it was amazing. And my first Reaper encounter 

 

Below Zero was cute but too short and the story wasn't as compelling as the first one, but Al-An is kinda de best character and kinda hot ngl 

 

I hope this one is good too but the co-op part bothers me, I think the appeal of Subnautica is the loneliness of it all. But I'll give it a try once I have a chance.

Relatable as hell, seeing the damn leviathans when I was trying to get to the ship was fear-incarnate

Got Below Zero during EA but honestly played 10 minutes and never touched it again, it just didn't have the scariness of the first game for me. Really excited for this though
