Subnautica 2 Early Access Launches in 2025

Following the studio’s immense success with Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero, it was only a matter of time before developer Unkown Worlds Entertainment went all in with a sequel. Well, it’s finally happening. At Xbox Partner Preview, the indie studio unveiled Subnautica 2, with an Early Access release window of 2025.

Unfortunately, the reveal trailer doesn’t offer any gameplay. It does offer a unique cinematic look at the underwater world, a few different creatures, some of which long-time fans will immediately recognize, along with two new characters—a man and woman—as they deal with a massive Kraken-like creature rising from the depths!

We’ll update you right here on Insider Gaming as soon as we know more about the game, including an official release date. So check back often!
