    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.
