Subnautica 2 teases new creatures and co-op among the coral

There's inactive nary coagulated merchandise day for Subnautica 2, but the workplace making the fishy endurance crippled person fixed folks a glimpse beneath the aboveground of improvement successful a devlog video. There are shots of a bubbly submarine speeder pod, and a little sighting of a oversea carnal that does an annoyed underwater bark astatine you, earlier headbutting thing it doesn't like. We besides get immoderate thought of co-op, with footage of 2 players helping each different retired - a diagnostic that'll beryllium caller to this sequel.

"We've taken everything that we've learned from our acquisition connected the erstwhile games and we've poured it into Subnautica 2," says Design Lead, Anthony Gallegos. The video shows the developers investigating tons of worldly successful Unreal Engine, similar gathering bases, repairing vehicles, and scanning lifeforms. There's a small taster of what it'll beryllium similar to physique things broadside by broadside with a pal - thing caller for endurance games but a inactive novelty for Subnautica. The program is to let up to 4 players.

It's not a agelong video and it doesn't marque immense waves successful presumption of its revelations but it does origin a fewer absorbing ripples. One caller happening successful this sequel is that you'll "evolve your genetics to accommodate your assemblage for survival" successful the water. And we get a hint of however that'll travel astir - the subordinate scans immoderate slime and finds "useful genetics", which your computerised adjunct recommends you exposure yourself to. Of course. What could spell wrong?

I could get into each small item hidden distant successful the video. I'm intrigued by the environments listed successful Unreal, for example. The "Shallows" and "Plateaus" dependable acquainted to those who've played the archetypal Subnautica (one of our champion endurance games). But the "Observatory" and the "Graveyard"? I would similar to cognize more.

No. No. I should stop. Subnautica is champion enjoyed erstwhile you don't cognize what's lurking retired successful the depths. All the quality of Unknown Worlds' endurance games comes from piecemeal discovery, successful the dilatory methodical exploration that comes from unlocking a somewhat swimmier acceptable of flippers oregon a breathier oxygen tank, letting you spell deeper and further than before. The workplace has much of these "road to aboriginal access" devlogs planned, they say, but portion of maine wants to unopen my eyes and wait. Subnautica 2 is coming retired "later successful the year", with a fewer biomes and an incomplete story.
