Subnautica 2: A New Depths Awaits — First Details Revealed in 10-Minute Q&A
Prepare to dive into the unknown — Unknown Worlds Entertainment has dropped a thrilling new 10-minute Q&A video offering fans their first real look at Subnautica 2, the long-anticipated sequel to the cult-favorite survival game.
In the video, community manager Donya Abramo and creative producer Scott MacDonald confirm several key details about the upcoming adventure:
- Single-player first, co-op later: While Subnautica 2 will support up to four players, it’s being built as a true single-player experience at launch, with co-op as a future addition — not a mode you can simply play solo.
- No return of the classics: The iconic Cyclops, Seamoth, and Sea Truck won’t be making a comeback. Instead, the team is designing entirely new vehicles, crafted to fit the game’s fresh, hand-crafted environments and deeper sense of exploration.
- Bigger than ever: Scott MacDonald confirmed the playable map at launch will surpass both original Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero during their early access phases. With world designers and environment artists building every inch by hand, the goal is clear: create the largest and most thrilling Subnautica experience yet by full release.
"We’re pouring all our creativity into this world. Our goal is to make this the biggest and most thrilling Subnautica experience ever by the time we reach 1.0."

No large submarine at launch: While a massive new sub is in development and will eventually arrive, it won’t be available at early access start. “The team is actively working on one behind the scenes,” Abramo teased.
-
Platforms and timing: Early access is set for late 2025, initially launching on PC and Xbox Series X|S, including Game Pass for top-tier subscribers. PlayStation is not supported for early access — but fans can expect a full release on all platforms down the line.
-
No VR, no Proximity Chat (yet): VR support is not planned at this time, and proximity chat remains off the table for now. Players are encouraged to use Discord for voice comms in co-op.
-
New world, new horrors: Set on an entirely new alien planet, Subnautica 2 will feature uncharted biomes, unique flora, and terrifying new wildlife — promising the same eerie, immersive atmosphere that made the original a standout in underwater horror.
With the original Subnautica earning a 9.1/10 from IGN and Subnautica: Below Zero scoring 9/10, fans are already hyped for what could be the most ambitious underwater adventure yet.
Dive in when Subnautica 2 arrives in late 2025 on PC and Xbox Series X|S.
Stay tuned — the deep is calling.
