Unveiled at the Xbox Partner Preview showcase, Unknown Worlds and KRAFTON, Inc. have officially announced Subnautica 2. The underwater sandbox adventure title will be the third game in the Subnautica series, following on from Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero.

For the first time, Subnautica 2 will include multiplayer co-op, allowing players to experience the ocean's secrets together. Players will be able to work together to build tools, bases and more.
The game is set to launch in Early Access, like the original, in 2025. It will be available on Steam, Epic Games Store, and Windows Store and via Game Preview on Xbox Series X|S with Xbox Game Pass.
