Appreciate the video! 😊 More to come later in the year!
Wait.... THE Obraxis, as in one of the Subnautica DEVS Obraxis?? 😱
@@Pedigreedmoth 😉
Thanks for checking out the video! I am anxiously awaiting any news I can get my hands on, and I have full faith that this game is going to be incredible!
Obraxis, Subnautica was Accessible to ALL, But Pushed Boundaries of PC Tech, That the "Unknown Worlds" Small Team, Didn't Know, That it was Even Possible, in 2018!
PS: I Still use it as a Benchmark, @ 4K in 2024!🤩
OMG ITS THE GOD!!!!!!!!!!!
They really need to just keep the overall feel of subnatica games if they want subnatica 3 to be a success
Agreed, and I think the Devs know this, and they are passionate about these games, so I believe they can pull it off!
I hope for a skyrim type difficulty system as well as the og so like normal survival or very hard hardcore or very easy freedom
Subnautica 2
Subnautica was the greatest game and Below Zero was just ok. I Hope the third one raises the bar.
Let's raise that bar to the freaking MOON!
I just realized that Subnautica Early Access spells “SEA!”
Oh, nice!
He looks like a Viking brought back to life with a burrito
In a good way
🤣 how did you discover my secret so fast??
DUNT DUNT DUUUUUUUNT! 😮
I would 100% be fine with going back to 4546B with a larger map, more biomes, and new crafting.
The game was at its best when it channeled that Robinson Caruso vibe - abandoned, lost, and struggling for survival.
I agree that's when it's at its best! And they've confirmed it is NOT 4546B, but they will somehow be linked story-wise. But that's all we really know at this time about it!
im super hyped.
Hope there is more environmental stuff. Like storms that would make huge waves and have lightning light up the sea, I guess the water movement would make the water foggier so the lightning would help you see, and sometimes would reveal you are too close to something big and hungry in a flash.
I think it would be cool if there was a boat too.. Not a big fan of the cyclop because it gets stuck on everything, a boat would be on the surface so it would be easy to just drive it somewhere and then go down with a docked vehicle. It could function as a small mobile base but without really giving you any protection from big predators because it doesn't go underwater. Would also be cool to drive it in a storm and maybe some amphibians could climb on board and bite your toes so the ride is more eventful.
I could see a boat working 🤔
Bro you should leave them some feedback about storms. Imagine if there was volcanoes tsunamis earthquakes hurricanes ect. Causing you to further plan out routes and trips and being more cautious. They have to be careful not to overdo. Nice idea bro
With it being on next gen only hopefully they can do dynamic weather and water and sxxt like that with all the hardware and technology we have these days
@user-sj8to3un3l Unreal Engine 5 can do a lot of crazy things. It's definitely within the realm of possibility!
…..use the cyclops on the surface, undock with the sea moth. Tadaaaaaah. Surface boat that won’t get stuck. Also don’t blame the cyclops for your inability to use cameras and judge distant. 😘
I hope I live long enough to play Subnautica 2. That was an ACTUAL screenshot? It looks fantastic. I found this quote on a website featuring the screenshot " Subnautica 2 will be continually supported but won't have live service features like battle passes or microtransactions."
It's set to release in early access in 2025! And I had seen that it would not contain battle passes or subscriptions, but it did not mention microtransactions (from the official post on Unknown Worlds Entertainment's website).
The screenshot is taken from in the game in Unreal Engine 5. It is not concept art or staged, purely a screenshot from the current running build they are working on!
How old are you if you don't mind my asking?
@knellycornnan5132 might not have to do with age brother. Some of us are just sick.
@@Pedigreedmoth I feel that if they are cosmetic-only microtransactions, then I don't care. If someone wants to spend extra money to look cooler than sure. I even bought the cosmetic DLC for Helldivers2 so I would be lying if I said that I never have. the only issue I have with what is known so far is the lack of clarity on the possibility of microtransactions. Everything else seems awesome!
I am really excited for subnautica 2. Also this is some quality content for someone with 315 subscribers, nice!
Thanks! If you watch some of my earliest videos I did (a year or so ago) you can see the videos have come a long way in quality imo. I just keep trying to improve a little with every video and try and make content I enjoy making/ watching.
I want the game to be HUGE so it's possible to have enormous area of open ocean as part of the map.
I'm down as long as it doesn't just feel like completely empty space (even if that space is just filled with dangerous creatures trying to eat you)
As long as the world doesn't end up like Forza Horizon 5 (tons of empty space with a few landmarks scattered in between) and follows the pattern of the original with every biome having some purpose in any stage of the game, I think Subnautica 2 would be at least at the level of the original.
They actually made that in the first game. Grassy plateaus is a good example.
@@user-oq7xc5qp3y I don't think that's the kind of huge he means. The entire map of Subnautica was only about 4 km x 4 km, which really isn't all that huge.
it would be nice to put the cyclops to its fullest use being a long distance and deep mobile base
I haven’t seen many people mention this but, I’m mostly exited for the feeling of uncertainty and fear that was in the first game, that I unfortunately missed out on cuz of spoilers 😅
Damn, yeah, it's hard to avoid spoilers sometimes, for sure. I, for one, do not intend to be spreading any kind of spoilers without at least heavy spoiler warnings if it comes to it. That fear of the unknown is what truly what was so great about the first game! Exploring deeper and not knowing what to expect, hearing sounds and freaking out, it was great!
@@Pedigreedmoth exactly
I would like it honestly if both planets are similar and linked. The feel of the original doesnt get old and Ive replayed it a lot of times without being bored
I definitely feel the two planets will be linked (more than likely through the Architects) but it will be interesting to figure out just how linked they are
The thing I want most about this next Subnautica game is for it to take place on the planet of architects
Fun fact, the Architects had several core worlds and many others in their domain!
2:15 "and remember, ITS A HAMMER"
😉
As far as similarity, it's worth noting the original world has a lot in common with earth's oceans. Fish, coral, fungi, kelp, trees, plants, eels, and shark-like, octopus-like, and crab-like creatures. And the penguin-like creatures in Below Zero. Evolutionary similarity is sort of a premise of the game.
This is a fair point. Most of the things on 4546B do share some similarities to things here on Earth! 👍🏻
I hope all of the vehicles make a return. Yeah I know that new stuff is the spice of life or whatever but I like the cyclops, loved the seamoth, prawn is always fun, and, controversial opinion here, LOVED my seatruck (a sub that you can change around to make it whatever you want, AND you can get it to play music?).
Who knows, maybe this time they will give the players the option to choose from multiple vehicle types instead of ONLY one for the game. More player choice is usually always a good thing! Always down for more vehicle options!
I would prefer all new vehicles. I don't want a remake I want something new. Maybe they could add the old vehicles as an extra or a secret but I would prefer the main vehicles to be all new
@@k0lpA Maybe, since they are going with the games as a service thing. They could start with all new. That way people will use those for a while get used to them and learn to like them too. Then release the others later in an update. Or even make it a toggle. “Classic vehicles”
@@TheVikingKing125 It could affect the gameplay a lot if the vehicles are different. Also since it's a new engine they can't really easily import them and the graphics might look too dated and look jank. Maybe it could work as a microtransaction
Actually about to replay Below Zero because the sea truck docking station didn't exist during my first playthrough and I wanna see what else they added.
Ah yes. a new planet to explore, i shall call it 4546a
Is there confirmation that the Cuttlefish is not native to 4546B? My recollection is that it simply doesn't have much in common, genetically, with other fauna alive at the time of the Aurora incident. Further, the octopodal locomotion method it uses bears a striking resemblance to both the Sea Dragon and Sea Emperor leviathans, despite the different number of tentacles. It's also fairly suggestive that the Cuttlefish we hatch isn't a fully grown adult, though that would be a departure from all the other eggs we hatch, which produce fully grown adults.
The data bank entry says, "It is also possible the cuddlefish has been genetically altered, or even imported to 4546B from another world."

I wonder how Neeb's Gaming will handle this... if they even make another series with Appsro in what looks like the Architect's home planet
Any new news about Subnautica is an instant sub for me. Thanks for having me and excited for more news.
I got my eyes peeled for the next info drop 👁🔎
@@Pedigreedmothsweet... So I'm thinking, we start on the original planet and we are able to repair or build a new shuttle to this new, maybe moon. Finish off from there. Idk I just hope there's no micro transaction or any type of live service game.
Convergent Evolution is possible to explain the similarities. Heck maybe the palm fern plant is found on the new planet
My guess is we will find out the Architects have traveled to many plants and made changes to them along the way (such as teraforming operations). I'm not too concerned about the planet looking similar. We are going to be under the ocean, so it's going to look fairly similar anyways lol
@@Pedigreedmoth exactly that's what I'm saying it's gonna be similar. I noticed the new black shark like creature almost looks like a smaller different colored chelicerate
In that screenshot you show in the video, in the top left corner if you look closely you can see a giant crab-like creature.
ngl an underwater snowfox would be dope
So would it be like an in-between of the seaglide and a sub? Like a fast mountable vehicle but with no enclosed cockpit, so no oxygen?
@Pedigreedmoth maybe it WOULD have a cockpit, but its still slim and very weak.
This was fantastic and you did a great job in making the advert entertaining!
Thanks, my dude! I had fun slapping that one together
I’m already excited for Subnautica 2 if it’s going to have multi player I can explore the world with friends and my dad because I got him hooked on the first two
Hell yeah! Back in the day, I used to play Gears of War and Halo with my dad (and Mom and brother too). Those were some great times! Great family bonding getting to game together, enjoy as much of it as you can!
3:13, okay you phrased it badly. Subnautica 2 is a single player campaign game, that also has Multiplayer CO-OP, the way you say it makes it sound like it’s only multiplayer
That is the phrasing that was used specifically in Kraftons' earning call (a multiplayer sequel), and it is one of the clarifications that the developers made in their later post that the game was not multiplayer focused but could be played with friends. I imagine it will work much like multiplayer in The Forest.
@@Pedigreedmoth ofc, just wanted to clarify it incase anyone was confused while scrolling the comments : )
Also I love the subnautica franchise and I’ve watched like all the videos I could find on the new game xD
Of course! It's a good clarification to make, and I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment about it
@@Pedigreedmoth sons of the forest exists (sequal to the forest) lol and hopefully subnautica 2 updates similar to sons of the forest (regular with good updates)
in fact if you see the in-game screenshot from subnautica 2 you may think this is looks nice and biome is not so big, but if you look on the sub and on the biome you will see how little this submarine are and if this is so little this biomes are so big and i think there will be a much bigger transport than cyclops.
Oo, that's an interesting observation! Imagine if on this next planet everything is literally like 50% larger making the player feel even more like prey
In the background of the first screenshot, there’s a giant crab on the left
Great video and info!
Co-op???? I can finally play a subnautica with my boys? Hell Yeah!
Hell yeah! It's going to be fun to play with friends without having to use a very glitchy mod to do so
One thing you forgot was the giant crab in the left of the image they leaked
Yeah, the version of the image I downloaded directly from the unknown worlds website ended up not being very high RES, so when recording, I couldn't make out the crab, unfortunately
I really hope this explores the void more. Like adding the single cell biome and gargantuan leviathan.
They definitely have a lot of cool concept art pieces that have yet to be used that would make really cool additions. The single cell biome sounds terrifying to say the least
It makes most sense to me the next Subnautica will be on Architects' homeworld, where Robin went.
The Architects actually had several core planets and spanned across far more planets in the system, so even if it's not THE homeworld, we can almost guarantee it'll be a planet heavily influenced by their presence. I don't recall seeing a lot of water on the planet at the end of Below Zero, but I could be mistaken
The subnautiverse
you forgot the crab in the screen shot
I hope subnotica goes in the direction of Ark. Subnotica wrote the book on how a survival game should do a story, whereas Ark has the technical aspects down to near perfection.
I do worry that subnotica is a one trick pony and no matter what they do we will “just explore another ocean.” I think they need to lean into building, vehicles, and other tech.
It would be cool if they were a supported researcher who is under a penny pinching boss (so basically stranded) so you have to complete your mission within a budget(survive). Then a dlc could be hopping to another world for a similar mission in a different way (like ark).
Another thing that would be cool is another intelligent species like mermaid. The sea emperor was a refreshing voice after so long with only the pda. Maybe that made it special, I’m not sure.
Subnautica is a very unique experience, and it's hard to pinpoint exactly what about it specifically that made it such a smash hit. So many things were working together in their favor. I am hoping they can work their magic again and create something the average person hasn't even thought of to make this next one stand out. Being able to play with friends will help some, but that alone isn't enough.
Part of me is kinda wondering if they should go more like Minecraft with random seed maps to make each play through unique. Maybe in its own mode if they are still wanting a specifically designed map for the story? But we will just have to wait for more news to know what they are thinking/planning
I find it relieving that the team does not consider Below Zero to be Subnautica 2. I was very unimpressed with it. I wish that they did release it as a cheap dlc streamlined down to 5 hours instead.
There are 2 Subnautica, and that's Subnautica(The awesome good game), and Below Zero(The crap bad "sequel").
I hope Subnautica 2 will be more like Subnautica 1, which i loved/love!
That is what the current news from the Devs has supported. This game should be more of a "return to form" of the original!
Honestly wish they kept it on 4546b to continue the planets story.. but its alr if they go to a new planet.
I'm fairly certain that while it will not be 4546B, it will still continue the story of the Architects, which is fine by me!
It sure felt big enough to call a sequel. Even though it had a lot of some of the original models from the first one, the storyline and characters were a significant leap from the first.
I think once we see what they have in store for Subnautica 2, Below Zero will just look like a drop in a bucket in comparison
can't wait till this comes out!
It's going to be great
might be a unpopular opinion but i would love a sequel to below zero. like if unknown worlds wanted to set the game on a new planet then below zeros ending provides a perfect solution. and in the recent time capsules the devs have hidden in the first game I noticed a few people point out that the numbers 7567 are always at the end which sounds like a subnautica planet designation IMO.
True, but the Architects also had several core worlds as well as civilizations on many planets throughout the galaxy. There are a great number of planets that can be used that are still linked to them, but I'm sure that not all of them are aquatic like we see in the Subnautica series. It would be interesting to know if they have plans for future games in the same universe that aren't Subnautica
Hope they keep the more horror aspect of Subnautica and not the more cartoony and less scary Below Zero. The creatures, the world, everything was better in the original game, so hopefully, they keep that tharasophobia atmosphere or whatever its called in the new game. Be cool if they lean hard into horror
I would love to see a larger variety of hostile creatures that have unique ways of attacking/surprising the player. That with large open spaces with low visibility and good sound design that drive your anxiety through the roof as you never know what you're seeing or hearing. I think that's part of what made the first one more terrifying than below zero. Being terrified of the deep bassy groans only to realize it's from the reefbacks, and they were harmless. But the first time, I wouldn't dare get close, and those sounds put me on edge.
I’m fine with cosmetic items as a micro transaction. If I like a game then I enjoy giving them extra money for skins, as long as their reasonably priced
I agree, I would be fine with it if they needed to include them to help keep the game going and alive. As long as it doesn't penalize players who just buy the game and don't want to spend anything else. That experience should always be prioritized first and foremost, ESPECIALLY in a single-player focused game like Subnautica.
Its been awhile since I was on my subnautica phase, I literally thought Below Zero was the final game
Not anymore!
I’m begging and hoping that the next game is going to be on Allen’s planet because there is no way they are going to do nothing with that below zero ending
I've yet to actually beat below zero myself, so I can't really speak on the ending, but it is a possibility it is their home planet for sure! Maybe even the home of the cuddlefish! (Both can be true at the same time!)
really great video
Thank you!
i guess you missedAnthomnia interview with the dev a month ago, there is actually a giant crab-like thing in the back right part of the screenshot. The dev confirmed it was a mob, but did not confirm anything else.
5:14 look in back ground ( left side), it a sleeping monster. Dev even said it was there.
Yeah I saw the interview after I made the video so I missed that one
this vid deserves more hype
I appreciate that! Feel free to share it with anyone you think would enjoy it!
UM! The Confirmation of "UNREAL 5" Engine, Is HUGE NEWS!
I'm Eagerly Awaiting, SUB 2! 😍
I'll wait for release, but if SUB2 is anywhere as good as first one, I'll gladly upgraded my comp so it can run smoothly 😁
It better have some seriously deep open water like the first one.
Honestly I wouldn't mind some microtransactions to have cosmetics to show off in multiplayer, would be a way to support the game and it wouldn't impact the gameplay.
That's what I was thinking, I don't see them locking equipment or vehicles behind a pay wall, but I'm fine if they want to offer some kinds of cosmetics, especially for vehicles, so people can easily tell their vehicles apart when playing with friends. Plus, I'm sure they would make some pretty cool looking skins
If Subnautica 3 doesn't have an entire PLANET to swim across (and inside of), I will be very sad.
While that could be an interesting gimmick for the game, I don't know if going through the trouble of making an entire planet will make it all that more interesting in a gameplay sense. I would prefer well-made hand-crafted areas over them trying to just make an entire planet for the sake of it being a whole planet. But if they could manage to do both, I admit it could be cool if done right.
What could be interesting is if they were to hand craft points but allow them to generate via random seeds (like Minecraft does) so that replaying the game gives a different experience each time
@@Pedigreedmoth Thankfully, because it is a videogame, they can freely make it as small or large as they need it to be. Doesn't need to be the size of Earth. Waste not what not.
Think Grow Home or Astroneer, but obviously much bigger, as those games feature very small planets.
Yeah, if done right, it's a nice touch. Just not a priority for me personally. I'll be happy if it's a well designed map that's not too small but also not so big that it's a slog to get through (although different traversal options can make a bigger map still work just fine)
Honestly if they combined the best thing of the two games into one game it could be an actual hit game.
The level designs of the both games combined, the plot of subnautica, actual alive humans of course not a complete copy of either game but with them mixed in it could be big.
So much potential!
As long as it doesn't turn into the layered lasagna pancake of a map we had in Sector Zero, it will turn out alright.
@PhailRaptor I'm not sure what you're referring to so I assume you're on about below zero?
@@ogonplayzgames7823 Sector Zero is the polar region of 4546B where Below Zero takes place. The playable volume of the map is the same as The Crater, but it was folded up and knotted into multiple tight layers of caves, resulting in a map footprint that was significantly smaller despite equal volume.
You might not have noticed but if you take a look in the left side of the screenshot there is a crab looking thing 05:13
I didn't notice, thanks! I was having a difficult time getting a hi-res download of the screenshot despite downloading it directly from the unknown worlds website, so I couldn't really see that part too well, but I'll look into it!
I just really hope it has the vibe of the original cause below zero just kinda killed my drive to play
I've heard that's the goal, but we will have to wait and see
The complaint that the world being to similar to be a new world is dumb. I mean earths oceans and the safe shallows, other than creatures, look similar to subnautica just with different flora and fauna. Also, they made subnautica 2. not “ripoff game with the subnautica title that is nothing like subnautica” let that one sink into the brains of the angry peoples for a minute :). Creatures evolve due to the environment. If these planets were in the same system, or even a different system with similar dimensions to the first, it could become like 4546B. I could go on and on but I haven’t written an essay in a while. Nor do I want to. LOL
Did anyone notice the gigantic crab in the pic?
It has been pointed out, yes. I included it in the most recent video I made going over unused Subnautica concept art that we may see in Subnautica 2!
im hoping the "microtransactions" are more like cosmetic dlcs similar to what deep rock galactic does rather than cheap flashy in game pop ups that demand you take advantage of a "sale".
Yeah, that would be super annoying to see. But we still don't know if there will be any. We just know they didn't explicitly state there weren't at this point in time
Its Subnautica 2, not 3. Whatever you think BZ was, it was NOT Subnautica 2.
Yeah, that's covered in the video 🙂 Subnautica 3 is in the title for those who do not already know this and are just looking for news on the next Subnautica game
@@Pedigreedmoth I guessed, still wanted to say it though.
No worries! I appreciate you leaving a comment 🙂 might help someone else get the clarification they need!
can't wait to get more Subnautica!
game's so relaxing.
until it isn't.
then ya better swim faster.
Lmao, that's a good way to describe it
Pretty sure he's calling it Subnautica: Call of the Void
I'm fairly certain that call of the void is a player created mod for Subnautica and is not the official sequel from Unknown Worlds. As of right now, I've only seen the new game officially referred to as "Subnautica 2" by the devs and the publisher
@@Pedigreedmoth check out the trailer. If that is a Mod spewing bs... they should hire him. Good ideas.
It is a mod project and has nothing to do with Subnautica 2. But from what I've seen, I agree that there are definitely some cool ideas he is working on!
Why this channel dosent have more subs?, the videos are interesting and very well made, I hope you get big
Thanks, mate. I'm working on it! The number has been growing steadily, so it's just a matter of keep putting out content and improving a little each time 👍 I hope to see you checking out future vids as well 🙂
Can we talk about the melted plastic for a thumbnail? 😂
Hey now AI worked hard to create that melted plastic!
But seriously, there is only one real image from the new game until they release more, so I had to improvise lol
fyi: anthomnia interview a dev of subnautica 2 and the video of it is on his channel
I'll have to check it out, thanks!
Would be super if we had a better means of defending ourselves against attacks from dangerous creatures this time around
I agree as long as they make them interesting to use and not too overpowered. Like, I don't want a sub with a machine gun that can just mow down everything in the path, but modifying vehicles with alien parts (like Marguerit's Prawn suit in Below Zero) would have a lot of potential to be really awesome.
i would love to go back to the precursor planet!
That would be pretty cool to see
Note to the Devs: Make sure VR is supported! Or there is no way I'm buying it.
They tried/did VR support in the original, but at the time, overall VR adoption was still pretty low and it took a lot of resources trying to develop and support it for almost no one to use it. That's why, for Below Zero, they didn't bother with it. Maybe now that it's been a bit longer, they will reapproach the idea and maybe it'll be easier now that they are using Unreal Engine 5 🤔 I have no idea myself because I don't own any kind of VR headset, but that would be pretty cool if they do support it again!
Hmmm is this PC Alterra approved?
Tbh, new planet or not, I need Alterra to be part of Subnautica 2 (3), I just want to know more
Alterra does not allow their employees to have such powerful PCs. They are only allowed the bare minimum, but I've heard there are a lot of employees that have them in secret! 🤫
subnautica 2.0 and subnautica 2 are gonna be so confusing to new players
Very much so. Not to mention that a lot of people call either Below Zero or some of the bigger Sub 1 mods "Subnautica 2" as well.
Literally replaying the 2 games just cause I heard they where making a third
Well, you got some time! We won't be able to get our hands on anything until maybe early 2025, but stay tuned for future news updates as news comes out while you enjoy playing through these great games again!
THE HUNT IS ON
I'm thinking about livestreaming a search for time capsules either Friday night or this weekend 🤔 could be fun to just hang out and hunt down these screenshots
If the developers simply follow the formula that made subnautica so good, then I'm really looking forward to sub 2. Create a massive underwater world with many different biomes, make it atmospheric, and in some biomes that sense of dread. As for the storyline, Im not sure. Maybe you're an employee of a rival company to Altera? Slightly different tech? Dunno. Just get it done!
That sounds like an interesting story idea 🤔 I personally have no idea what the storyline will be or how it will play out, but I really enjoyed the radio message system of progression from the first one. You can progress at your own pace or just explore and spend time building. It really left the story in the hands of the player to discover and it helped push them deeper to discover even more as needed
You missed the giga crab in the background of the pic
It's hard for me to tell what that is, but giant hermit crabs that are disguised as terrain could be terrifyingly awesome!
probably a bit contreversal but i kind of want it to be on the same planet just somewhere new i dont think it will feel right on a new planet also the new planet may not have the same classic creatures like the peeper
I get that. However, the devs have confirmed it will be an entirely planet. I still think they will design some similar creatures to give a similar feel
I completely agree with them calling it Subnautica 2. Below zero was just a spin off.
Yeah unfortunately though for the time being, it's just confusing a lot of people, lol
Subnautica: Below Zero should just have been named an expansion, like games have had before. Expansions come any range of sizes and generally add a fair amount more than just one or two things.
Don't care for early access.
Hope it ignores all the lore in Subnautica: Below Service.
"Games as a service" is not misunderstood. The only ones who don't understand the known context are the devs. While true, "games as a service" does not mean it will be live service, pretty much almost every company up till this point have used it to mean such.
The publisher (KRAFTON) used the term "Game as a Service," which led players to speculate and assume it would be live service. This was the misunderstanding. The devs (Unknown Worlds Entertainment) had to come out and clarify that, in this case, the game will not be live service (no battle passes, season passes, or subscriptions) but rather feature support and updates for years after release, just like the previous games in the series.
I am glad they seem to be going back to what worked about the first one, and while there may still be some lore references to Below Zero, the game will look and feel like a sequel and improvement to the original. I'm excited to get to dive back into mysterious and unknown waters and feel that terror/suspense that made the original a smash hit!
@@Pedigreedmoth Ah, so it's the publisher that used the term. Thank you for the clarification.
Looking forward to seeing what this will be like. The single player multiplayer aspect is fine too. Green Hell and The Forest are pretty much like this as well and it doesn't detract from the experience. I think of it in a way like playing a game while streaming it, with a little more viewer participation.
I've never played Green Hell, but I assume the multiplayer will work very much like the Forest, which is fine by me because I like how that works and it's fun to play with friends
I just hope devs are smart and using vulkan.api and that they using UE 5.2 or newer.
Valve told all devs back 2015 to use vulkan.api over bloated DX 12. Few devs listens. Years later we know they are right. The proof of with steam os/steam deck. Which use vulkan. Sometime some games even run better. Simple Cus vulkan is open source. Devs can tweak as much or as little as they want. You can’t do that with DX 12.
The community for subnatica need to tell devs.
Please use vulkan. Not bloated DX 12. There any games run better/butter smooth with vulkan. Doom series, no man sky, there few other.
The publisher really shit the bed with GAAS announcement. How did they ever think that was going to go over well? Every gamer who knows what that even means also knows about plenty of games with same premise that failed to deliver miserably. Half-assed launch because hey, we can just do rest of the game later, constant nickle and diming, dropped support when things didn't work out as the studio/publisher intended and so on. I get why that is lucrative prospect for investors and shareholders, but if those words were ever intended to be seen by the public, the folks there are straight up delusional.
That's the thing, they weren't meant to be seen by the public because this was a PUBLISHER earnings report/shareholder thing that got leaked. The devs never referred to the game as a GAAS, but in a PowerPoint slide, KRAFTON took "early access release with years of updates" (like the previous 2 titles) and reduced it to the simplest bullet point shareholders would understand because "a playable game with constant updates for years? That's GAAS!" (And for shareholders, that means MONEY!)
*insert Mr. Krabs here 🦀*
Definitely did more harm than good when the public sees it and applies their understanding of what GAAS is.
I would love if we returned to the crater in the next game.
Well, they did say it will be an entirely new planet, but I'm almost 100% certain they will have some cool and very hostile areas similar to the crater!
You know hes professional cus he uses 2 cameras
It's the first (and so far only) video where I tried using it 😂
New planet name: 4546A 😂
🤣🤣
lets forget about below zero like it never happened
🤣
At least maybe they learned what not to do from it? 🤔
Wait people didnt like below zero? :(
It was a mixed bag, a lot of people love it, others didn't like some of the changes in direction from the original. There's something special about the complete isolation of the first game that was taken away in Below Zero. It is still, however, a very enjoyable game
I'm happy the new game is coming... I'm wary enough that I might skip early access this time though.
That is understandable. Early Access can be cool, but it can also spoil the final full game experience if you've already explored different sections as they are being completed. Nothing wrong with waiting until it's either almost complete or until the full release to jump in blind to play through it from beginning to end. It also gives you the chance to make sure the game is what you want/expect before spending money on it!
@@Pedigreedmoth Subnautica has been good about changing the story, which is enough for me.
Using the beta stories to tell a... prequel story is neat, even if it isn't canon.
Yeah they have, which is cool. I, for one, will be diving into the early access for sure because, good or bad, I can make content out of it and show others things they want to see about the new game without them having to spend any money themselves. 🙂
There's a crab in the foto leaked of subnautica 2
why does it feel like there is a desync between the video and the audio?
There might be a little bit. For some reason, one of my webcams has more of a delay than the other, which I tried to add delays in obs to get them as close as possible to each other and the audio and even tried to line them up better in editing but clearly it's not prefect. I may end up just replacing the camera that causes the issue with a different one to make it a smoother process in the future
On the left side of the picture there is a crab looking thing.
So I've heard 🤔 I can kinda see it, but to me, it's hard to tell exactly what it is so I didn't say anything about it. Would be very interesting though!
I’ll be very sad when Subnautica 2 releases because there’s almost no chance I’ll be able to run it.
I have to use the lowest graphics setting for like 45 fps on Subnautica.
So even if there’s a way to decrease quality my game might crash before I can reach the main menu.
Subnautica 1 does have some big optimization issues that can cause a lot of problems. Hopefully, being built in Unreal Engine 5, Subnautica 2 will be better optimized for older and lower end PCs, but I have no idea. We will have to wait for the Early Access to really start testing it out

Great vid matey
Thank you!
thanks for the info, thought this was just gonna be about mods and other stuff at the start lol glad it wasn't.
Nope, this is about an actual official sequel! It is pretty confusing that there are a lot of videos out there saying "Subnautica 2" when really they are just modded versions of the original.
Not to mention a lot of people calling Below Zero "Subnautica 2" as well
the screenshot made me very hyped for the new game!
I'm currently working on a video going through all of the unused concept art pieces for Subnautica and Below Zero (and there's A LOT) just to see if we can get any ideas that might actually show up in Subnautica 2! I recorded 3 hours of talking about the pieces, and that's NOT including the different ones showing vehicle and technology designs 🤯 trying to edit it down as best as I can, but it's going to be a long video.
I'm just hoping people will be interested in it while we wait for more info on S2
I'm very hyped for a new Subnautica game!
@@Pedigreedmoth hey thats right! They could use some of their old ideas like you said, ill look forward to your video! youre making me even more excited for the game now :p
Goodie 😂 I'll be covering any official news for Subnautica 2 as soon as I see it, so keep your eyes peeled for those as well!
Shii man , good video you have a new sub
Welcome to the cool kids club 😎 glad to have you!
Wait image boreal 9 and we play as Craig McGill 🤔
Really love the effort 🫡
🫡
Really hope they don't follow the whole design that most games are following and keep the micro transactions to a minimum or null them altogether, really looking forward to seeing what they have in stock and how they can introduce a different storyline whilst also keeping that Subnautica feel to it that we all love, really would hate to see such a beautiful game franchise go to waste by following the new age of games, simple is best.
I agree. Hopefully, it's no microtransactions, but we will have to see. I'm hoping they will follow how the story is told more like the first game compared to how they did it in Below Zero. Back to just exploring a deep dark ocean, ramping up the creepy factor and mysteries a little, and focusing a little more on environmental storytelling to increase the player's sense of discovery as they play through and find cool things. The potential is definitely there!
honestly most likely realase is sometime in 2026 maybe late 2025
I'm thinking early access release will be early 2025. The screenshot we got was from the game running already in Unreal Engine 5, and we know they won't have large portions of the map done yet when it first hits Early Access so I don't believe it'll take them until the end of 2025.
Now, if you're talking about full-game release, that may be late 2026 or later. I think the first game was in Early Access for like 3+ years, so we will have to wait and hear their road map for it.
cool
Thanks!
This is quality content, are real breath of fresh air.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Definitely more to come
If theres micro transactions I really hope we get knife skins
I wouldn't be surprised if they have various character/vehicle skins, I never thought about knife skins 🤔
Good video buddy. You just got a sub.
Happy to have you aboard, matey
