Subnautica 3, not 2. Below Zero was 2
The last bacon just interviewed a dev 2 months ago. It's definitely been confirmed, and so was multiplayer..
So have you never heard of below zero
People are getting impatient, but designing games takes time, especially if it is going to be really good.
Classic Overwatch 2 L
I prefer them taking more time and bring out an absolute banger

as a game dev, learning a whole new engine is byfar one of my most stressful experiences
you are doing the lords work
What Spectre said. I remember in that one interview with an Unknown Worlds Dec, the /stress/ in his voice when talking about all the research and learning switching to Unreal required and I felt so bad ❤❤❤
Good job my dude, keep up the work. We love you and your team
fr i just went back to unity for that and also I think and like coding (is) better
The only thing you need to develop is some exercise for those fatrolls in your belly and maybe you'll lose your virginity too.
I'm sure they're working on it, but it just isn't in a stage where they could discuss about it. Let them take their time to make it a masterpiece.
Remember half life 3 ?
Let's not allow subnautica 2 to come to that

Unreal Engine 5 is going to be a real game changer, I just hope the game is actually optimized well. I hate this new trend of just letting dlss deal with the horrible frame rates when it should be boosting the already optimized game.
Sadly, not getting my hopes up. Even the subnautica we have ran like crap on what was at the time, current hardware. And even then, still took them 2~ years after full release to iron out a lot of the performance issues.
It will be! It's definitely a good sign and since UWE is now a much bigger company with more people and experience I think we can expect some great stuff :)
the next gen consoles handle the game very well
@@Aci_yt I like the optimism, also keep up the great work with your videos 👏
dude ue5 is designed to be lazy so ont count on it
Hey, I’m learning the game development trade at the moment so I thought I’d give a bit of insight. Games take a LONG time to make. Most games you have heard of were in development for many years before the public knew about their existence. Below Zero was reusing lots of code and assets from Subnautica, hence why it didn’t take too long to create. But now that they’re using UE5, they basically need to remake every bit of code they have. It’s not as simple as a copy-paste job, it’s extremely difficult to switch engines. So I’d say we would be V E R Y lucky to see anything significant in the next few years. I’d honestly predict that (I don’t think this will happen) at MOST we will see an early access trailer by 2025. Honestly could be waiting till something like 2027/2028 for the full release simply due to the nature of engine-swapping
Reality sucks,
It does depend on team size aswell, but sadly those does not look like bad time assumptions, game development takes ages
UE5 doesnt change the code
Are you sure about that? I'm fairly certain it would massively change the code, if it even uses the same coding language.
@@Aci_yt the code language wpuldnt change, but im sure everything else would have
Suggesting a game that has never even been officially confirmed is cancelled, or the studio has gone under, is pretty wild. im glad you're adressing those rumors.
creating an entire game, even if assets are reused like Below Zero, can take years or even decades. if they want to go grander than both games we may not even see Sub2 till well into the 2030s.
it'll likely happen but patience is the most important thing with art, and i'd definitely call the Subnautica series art.
The game has officially been confirmed, they *are* working on it, I just think people are getting too impatient.
Honestly, I am in no rush, as long as we get the same feel of the first game, just on a larger scale, and it's done right. A positive thing about Below Zero, I think they learned some things from making it. So whether people liked it or not, the mistakes they made with it, they won't be making with the next game. I would imagine, the map will be several times bigger than the first game too, which is another reason it will take longer. One point though, you can implement a lot from an older engine into a new. Mist Survival just did this. It's buggy and in testing phase, but he basically just did a copy and paste job on it. He definitely did not rebuild from scratch.
I'd imagine you can upgrade more easily from an older version of the same engine, but switching to a NEW engine isnt as easy, which is what UWE are doing.
You can transfer most assets (mesh, audio, textures,...) but not the codes and the materials.
The programming languages are not even the same...
My question is...
Who actually saw a reaper leviathan, said smash, and actually followed through to create aci
Good question
hmm
Shhh, some questions are never meant to be asked
Marguerit
@RimInTheInternet so your implying Marguerite did a reaper
Last Bacon did an interview with Unknown and they did not confirm multiplayer, but they want it for sure. So it's not really "confirmed" but they have gone on record to say they would be surprised if it didn't have multiplayer or something like that.
I would prefer they take as much time as possible. I will not sign up for the early access, though. I want to play the full release and be totally wowed.
They likely want to avoid changing storylines/gameplay halfway through development, like what they did with Below Zero.
As an aspiring game dev, I have a lot of respect for Unknown, they made a couple of good games and I know it takes a long time to make massive games like this and I can't wait to see what they have in store.
They’re working on it, guys. “You can’t rush art.” -Old Guy in Toy Story 2. I have absolute faith in the devs, they are being very careful that they get things right. The next game will be marvelous.
This was a scare of a video Ngl, you had me in the first half 😅
Same😅
Aci: talks about actual important things like this and tries to calm everyone down
Last bacon: OMG MULTIPLAYER CONFIRMED?!?
I'd rather they work on the game, than feeling they NEED to give us an update every step of the way.
I dont know if its a hot take, but I would expect it to come out fully fleshed instead of early access, I mean their previous games have been really successful and I would think they have the money or the investment to skip early acccess.
Thanks for the update Aci! I'm looking forward to the next game & can't wait to hear you talk about it! 😄
Thanks for clearing up some of these things for the community. When fans are left with their imaginations too long they go insane. Very informative video, excellent sources.
my heart skipped 26 beats after reading the title
SO THERE IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER SUBNAUTICA GAME, I NEVER KNEW IF THAT WOULD ACTUALLY HAPPEN BUT I WANTED THAT SO BAD, IMAGINE ANOTHER SUBNAUTICA, FOCUSING ON WHAT MADE THE FIRST GAME SO GREAT, AND AVOIDING THE MISTAKES THEY MADE WITH BELOW ZERO, AND IMPROVING ON EVERYTHING THAT WAS ALREADY GOOD, AND NOW WITH BETTER MODDING SUPPORT??? AM I DREAMING???
I overall agree with the points you say about things taking time. Recently I transitioned to Unreal engine 5 from unity and don't know much even after a month for a whole team it would take a bit more than a year and also re coding and remaking assets of subnautica would take more time as C++ has a lot more limits than C# so my estimate is about 6 or 7 years or maybe 3 years if they decide on early access
Hope ya'll have a good day/night!
You too!
I think if we wait patiently we will going to have a masterpiece.
I mean they did improvements in below zero and gave us so much more lore, and content.
I think below zero was a test game to see how players react to changes and different kinds of gameplay.
For exapmle in the og subnautica we had to go deeper and deeper, and we went trough big empty dark spaces.
But in below zero the seas where shallower and had so much caves in it.
If i have to i will wait for ten years even if they need that much time.
Because in the end i know it will be worth it. Time equals quality.
In my opinion we should give them as much time as they need because below zero suffered from the pressure and the first game took forever to make but was so good
“So, is subnautica 2 cancelled?”
Below zero: *…*
" So, is Subnautica 2 cancelled ? "
Im just doing YT stuff and I suddenly see that...appearing out a nowhere like a reaper in disquise.
Hidin waiting the scare to shite out of me !
Yes, I got scared.
" In short, no... " made me smile again.
Thanks.
lol
Bellow zero is subnautica 1.5
Subnautica on unreal 5 is literally gonna look better than real life
im so excited for it im immediately getting it when its on pre order
I now imagine aci after finishing the call of the void saying:
Now hire me, you know you want
I just hope it's got a bigger map. That was my only gripe with Subnautica.
Fuck no. The smaller map was the best thing about Below Zero
@@Wylie288Absolutly not
Hi aci I love your vids hope you have a great night well it’s 9:48 for me
I really hope that unknown worlds doesnt skip tons of things because fans are impatient.
Hmm if they make it an entire planet with long stretches of 'void' area that is dark and you need to occasionally go there, some Ice areas (hopefully without the fucking ice worm acting like a land Warper if you are in prawn suit for some stupid reason) the sea truck, with either a planter module or a power gen module that doesn't effect the overall truck but can recharge batteries/power cells inside but need you to input them outside, ditch the whole AL-AN+Robin stuff unless it is a side story or a second story mode, if they do custom char to make mute-ability a thing. if they do that then I won't complain, hell if they just go back to mute protag that helps immersion I'd be happy even if we get another snowzone...
Hmmm add maybe a few more land based amenities but not go BZ's weak weather and stupid solo leviathan with buggy abilities that make facing on foot the easiest and safest way,....
we need over and underwater currents and also waves that would look so cool plus realistic
Me: * taking a break from Below Zero* _Say sike right now_
1:28 What!? That's the first I've ever heard of this, but it makes total sense.
Didn’t the interview say they went from Building a Kitchen for Subnautica 1 and making a cake in that kitchen for Below Zero, but then they switched engines so now they’re back to the Kitchen Building stage? So makes sense that we have to wait a while for the next game. But Horizon Zero Dawn had a 10 year process and if you look at the original designs and even full animation tests, it was going to be a very different game for a long time. But look at what we got : a game that has revolutionized a few different aspects of video games and that has made leaps and bounds in regards to graphics and background processes for both console and PC.
Sometimes a long time development just means a really good game!!!
You had me worried there
For me multiplayer would kill horror of isolation in an endless void which is #1 feature of the game
thanks aci like you said this couldve been a 10 bajilion hour vid but you just said it striaght gave the needeed info and thats well that
I would love for the next subnautica game to be based on tropical. We had warm ocean, then artic, it would only make sense if it would be tropical
Below zero was sub par.
They need to re-imagine, (redo, remake) the first game, with that hopless lost style. Larger scale, bigger biomes, new biomes, an even bigger cave element. The ship still crashes, same as the first.
The twist is you crash on a giant reefback and you don't know it. They can incorporate slightly rising and lowering water levels and temperature changes. The player would know theve been traveling around the planet till near the end of the game when its revealed in the main quest.
Someone the deepest and last cave biomes would be the actual innards and biological workings of the great alien beast.
Cool concept I think. Just take subnatica and multiply the map size and with new areas
0:47 when games stop posting updates they are normally working on either a big update or another game👀
1:00
That's actually believable, until someone says otherwise.
Most of this video is just clickbait trash. He doesn't even have up to date revenue numbers, and the implication is that multiplayer is confirmed, when it absolutely is not, and they haven't even posted a job listing for a net coder yet.
Crap like this always ticks me off, but oh well
The revenue numbers are the most up-to-date available, I literally mention that I'm not sure why people think multiplayer is confirmed and I just showed off the existing job listings.
I hope they take their sweet ass time and make it perfect.
This is going to be worth the wait we having a Subnautica game in unreal engine with possibly multiplayer like I would wait 10 years for that.
LET THEM COOK 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
i really hope they dont rush it, they should take their time to make it even better than the first game
I think we'll at least have some kind of announcement or at least a development update by January of 2024 or at the latest 2025, keeping my fingers crossed 🤞
It’s like how anime news sites automatically increase the date every year of when an anime is gonna release
"24 seconds ago"
Edit: Idk what it says in english bc my cellphone is in portuguese bc I'm brazilian, so... Whatever.
Nearly died for a second or something I dunno
Thanks for explaining I would hate for the new Subnautica to be cancelled I didn't know about this and when I saw the title I had to click on it to see lol
I do hope they make a Subnautica 3, I enjoyed the first two, and I have even started making my own design ideas for the 3rd game.
I had dreams about subnautica game and i honestly think that they are good concepts for subnautica 3
If the subnautica game is in space I will be fine as long if it is good
Bro don’t do that me and my friend are so excited for this
Early access is amazing as a test, for how everything works with people and for bug testing. If the most glitched game of them all cyberpunk decided to be early access, sooo many broken things could have been noticed and repaired.
They planned release in Late 2024/early 2025
They are making a whole new game people! Just be patient that takes a lot of time and especially if they are shooting for a game way better than subnautica!
not only that, but they have to learn a whole new engine (S2 will be in unreal engine 5) it could take 5-10 years if they perfect it. game development is hard, and takes FOREVER. earliest would probably be like 2025 and latest probably 2031-ish. people just need to learn to be patient, ESPECIALLY if they want a quality game!
I’m so excited for this new game
I would wait another 8 years for this game and hopefully it won't be as terribly recieved as below zero
I'm hoping for VR support would be so fun with unreal engine 5
dang i cant image playing this in vr on a realistic engine!
I didn't even know subnautica 2 was in development
I just hope that if we get another subnautica, it's not like below zero. Don't get me wrong that was a decent game but it felt unfinished, as if there was way more they could have done with that and they just said screw it. There wasn't much that really captured how beautiful and terrifying the ocean is like the first one. Most of everything just runs away, even to the shadow leviathan. Then there's the whole unresolved plot point of the ice leviathan. Is it dead? Is it alive? We'll never know
Do people forget how long it took the first game to release?
They had a very small team coming off of two relatively unsuccessful titles (not saying they were bad, just didn't sell). As opposed to subnautica which made them a monstrous amount of money and had them increase their team size massively for below zero, and they have been increasing their size even more as of last year.
With that said, I am sure we are still a good couple years away, but comparing it to the first isn't appropriate as the circumstances are far different.
ngl i sometimes i have future dreams and i think i know how the submarine for subnautica 2 will look like and what will be in the submarine so first it look like a sea truck forgot the name but with outlines like a seamonth but the end part its the truck module like and in that part u can build some stuff and it was good ngl so the multiplayer it will be true that all what i can give other stuff i dont remember or its for hype to the biome i was in like in a dream was a lil green water that all the hud will be from subnautica 4 icons or 5 dont remember good luck hope none will ignore this remember me and its serious
Well I absolutely love subnautica I'm wondering how do you mod the game on PC. I don't have one at the current time but when I get one I want mod it.
Bro thank god I was scared it was canceled
Wait, theres a subnautica 2 coming?
Id wait another year/s for a complete game and awesome story.
I hope it will come out
❤❤❤
One thing I hope for Subnautica 2/3 whatever the hell it gets called, is they make the seatruck a third option and give it either a solar panel-battery+power cell charger module or a greenery module that lets you plant things, so it can be more useful... or make the aquarium module able to breed fish so you can have a stock of peepers to eat on one side and bladder fish for easy water on the other... and that they discard the damned Khura virus and architect line unless they go for a completely new take...
Oh and they ditch voiced protag or give option to mute them, and return to the Sole person stranded alone with PDA... and not make the PDA a token diversity machine you cannot understand most of the time...
I think they should make it so you can have an additional module or two before it starts slowing down. It will hopefully be in the game with the Cyclops, so they will need to upgrade it a bit so it can complete.
I saw the title and I thought that there was some big news drop, but it was just people being impatient
you can't scare me like this
Sorry 😅
I think moonbreaker wil first go out of early acses before S2 will be out
Let's go we are getting subnautica 3
I truly hope we only get any official news at the late 2020s, everything else makes it feel suspicious and even then by 2027/8 I expect them to collaborate with all the old Subnautica CC gang to show early stuff to build hype and show what they got us to present. I can wait for my part.
The sequel is going to take time. I will be surprised if we get the game before 2030 honestly.
2025 seems like a good estimate. If it isn't out sometime in that year, then I highly doubt they can afford to keep it going... ready or not. They are not a AAA company that can afford to spend 6+ years on a game now that they have hired so many people. This video is a bit misleading. They were already working on the game at least as middle of last year. A lot of what they are doing is learning the new engine; I am sure they already have done that much. Also, as opposed to the implication of this video, multiplayer is not confirmed, nor have they even tried to hire a net coder yet, so that alone (if they don't have it) would shave a lot of time off of development.
Either that, or they will just do early access again, but personally I am sick and tired of early access crap.
Guys, Subnautica 2 is not predicted to be that far into development until 2024-25 jeez
I have been making games for one year so far and have made small games and they take 3 to 4 months for bug testing art and programing so huge games like subnatica will take years which can be Sean from how long it was from the release of subnautica and subnautica below zero
Also they are choosing to do purely remote work, which is not the most effective way to get info across to people. Quite surprised they are choosing full remote.
I truly hope it's not getting cancelled I love this game series
Awesome video
Below Zero was never supposed to be Subnautica 2 but the engine they developed for it got ported to OG Subnautica which is now called "Subnautica 2.0"
Honestly I hope they understand that the modding scene will keep the ball rolling for a while until they have something solid to show. It might not even be in the same universe as Subnautica. Kinda hope it isn't honestly, the more mysteries about the worldbuilding the better.
ive been waiting for the next game
If Rocket League is anything to go by (2 years at the very least since the UE5 job listing leaks) it could be quite a while before we see Subnautica 2
we are patient

Why does the sub look like the sub from GTA V?
Imagine being so impatient that thinking a single year of no news means a game is cancelled. When was the last time a game that only took a couple years to make was actually good?
I wanna play as an architect (very unlikely but cool as flip)

i wonder if they will continue the story of subnautica below zero
Hi there Aci! 😊
Hi!
I simultaneously cant and can wait for subnautica 2 because i would love to play it but i know for a quality game requires alot of time
I don't mind when it comes out so long as it's fun to play. I had a lot of trouble with Below Zero to the point I quit the game.
How or why didn’t you like Sub-zero. I liked both for different reasons
Below zero is a sequel though right? It continues stories from characters in the first so its in the same universe.
k, so here's the thing. it doesnt say "for the next subnautica game" it says "for the next game in the subnautica universe" and while this doesnt mean that it wont be a subnautica game, it could be Natural Selection 3, or some new IP that shares the same universe
The dev in that youtube interview a couple months ago essentially confirmed it is a subnautica game, not just based in the universe.
Do you Remember me
An old fan of yours
And plus they can't really say that if unknown worlds is super rich and they're planning on making some Nautica 3 and plan on making more games than subnautica because they need the money and they'll be able to make any type of game they wanted to do
Yes😂
So they update thalassophobia but they don’t update my favorite organic tf2 game that has gross aliens fight humans
Hope they don't listen to us when we say they need to finish it, they gotta take time
In all likelihood we'll probably see Sub 3 be put into early access, so hopefully we hear something from them soon-ish. That being said, last thing we'd want is for them to try and rush it and then butcher the game in the new engine.
If I were to make a Timeline based on "Feeling right" (because we know how accurate that is):
Teaser Trailer - December 2023
Actual Trailer - March 2024
Early Access - August 2024
Trailer 2 - September 2026
Final Release - February 2027
I'm really hoping if they do a new game that it's less story focused. Something with more mystery would be enjoyable, but with less "Go hear and listen to this recording while running around for 10 minutes"
I want that feeling again. To be in an unfamiliar place, see a glow, and be both terrified and intrigued.
I hope not :(
