Subnautica 2 takes survival to the next level with a feature

Subnautica 2 is an underwater survival adventure game set in a brand new alien ocean world. It is the next chapter in the Subnautica universe, developed by Unknown Worlds.

New world, new adventure

A new world awaits along with a whole new story. You are a pioneer traveling to a distant world, but something is wrong. The ship's AI insists that you carry out the mission. This world is too dangerous for humans to survive… Unless you change what it means to be human. What creatures, intelligent or otherwise, await your arrival?

Explore with friends

Play alone or with up to three friends in online multiplayer co-op. Whether exploring mysterious ruins, building custom bases, or venturing into the depths of the world… The challenge of this planet will test your wits and ability to adapt, in unexpected and curious ways.

Create submarines, tools and bases

Survival depends on using the right tools. In addition to basic items like the scanner and flashlight, you'll find recipes for more advanced tools, equipment, and submarines. Bases are more customizable with an overhauled building system. New tools allow for greater adaptation to the world.

Discover several new biomes

From towering underwater cliffs to lush coral fields, this alien aquatic world is filled with vibrant and breathtaking biomes, each teeming with diverse ecosystems and unique creatures. But something is wrong. The world is out of balance. What happened here? What happened to you? And above all, where are you?

Study mysterious life forms

Discover a rich world full of mysterious lifeforms, from the smallest fish to the largest Leviathans. Scan the creatures to learn more about them. Use your biosampler to take samples for study. As you learn more about this world, you evolve your genetics to adapt your body for survival.

Survive terrifying depths

This world is vast and deep. Venture beyond the safety of the shallow waters, descending into the unknown darkness. Wonder and danger lurk around every corner. To survive on this planet, you will have to push your boundaries and unlock the secrets of this strange world.
