Edit: I want to make it clear the Mod developer had no part of knowledge in any suspicion when it comes to tracing of any art, Even when i had initial concern the mod dev wasn't in my thoughts at all about it. We'll work with them to get a re-design going :) The last thing I expected after finding actual planned content / DLC for the next Subnautica was a speculative RELEASE DATE!! I actually had to wait for a dev to verify if what i found was actually meant to be public or supposed to be private, This is so insane i almost forgot the Void spike leviathan is also finally shown in this video! As always give me your thoughts, It's been a long time since we've spoken about Subnautica, I honestly hope they do add cosmetics if it is a planned feature for the next SN

I cannot wait till the next subnautica subnautica holds a special place in my heart mainly because it's such a unique concept that you wouldn't think of and honestly subnautica should be a lot more popular than it is

I think "expansive maps" just means vast maps, like maps that are way bigger than in the previous games. I definitely think it could be playable in 2024 though!

That sunbeam animation with the garg is so much scarier when your in the water

We haven't had an octopus levitation yet, and I think that would be absolutely terrifying. Imagine tentacles reaching out from the abyss to grab your seamoth, or fully wrapping around and crushing the Cyclops. Getting lost in an ink cloud. Tentacles=nightmare fuel In regards to the leviathan re-, I think it's time for a redesign. The original design has differences but the similarities are too occurring to ignore. I'm not saying it was traced or done on purpose, I very much doubt they would do that.

I hope they keep the announcement: "Leviathan location… under you." Then we see the finished design rise up toward you.

The leviathans look WAY too similar for it to be not a trace. They traced it and then added onto it. But I will hold benefit of the doubt and say it was only for placeholder purposes

I feel like the gargantuan needs to stay dormant unless you wake it at the very bottom of the map, it’s not really that scary if you’re constantly seeing it and it comes out immediately

I really hope that Subnautica 3 has a similar kind of open beta testing to the original, because that's what made it so good. People saw massive background objects and tried to go to them, so we got the Aurora. People were terrified by the passive reefback, so we got the Reaper. As well as that, a significant amount of bugs were fixed due to open beta testing. Maybe we could get a free demo which just lets you explore the starting area. I'm just really excited for Subnautica 3.

11:10 If you're going to redesign it I'd suggest redesigning with heavy inspiration from things like the Ghost Shark, the Angler Fish, and the Stoplight Loosejaw. And various other IRL Deep Sea creatures, if this thing is primarily somewhere where there isn't any light, or barely any at all, it should also be sort of like the Garg and Ghost Leviathans as well. Also, the Stoplight Loosejaw HUNTS by lighting up its prey with red, bioluminescent light which its prey can't even SEE! If this thing is supposed to hunt with Light then I honestly think you SHOULD draw inspiration from the Stoplight and Angler for any redesign.

For the photogalvic leviathan redesign,i'd suggest altering the current model, but making it more crab-like, taking some inspiration from below zero leviathans, replacing those fin-like things on its back with rock-like scales and making some kelp and moss grow on it.

subnautica with working multiplayer and the same building mechanics is all I want.

the leviathan was great and interesting but i would like to see a biome based of( single cell living biome which hunts ships and vehicels who hovered over it and the only way to survive it is to turning your lights off and using your sound cues or your sonar radar to guide you while the biome itself is trying to hunt and pull you down and engulf you within itself ) which was actually a old concept for the original subnautica but was scrapped due its complications in design of it and it also being way to complecated for players to actually explore it ) so i really hope they add this feature in there new instalment

In regards to the possibility of tracing you could try making some changes to the face and tail structure to totally distance from the possible plagiarized work. First to end of the tail giving it a fan tail as thats something uncommon in Subnautica leviathans. Then you can change the face possibly giving it a multi layer jaw where the main jaw is split in the middle with a smaller inner jaw that are connected to the outer jaws via a membrane maybe making it a filter feeder. Making it truly stand out as less of a hyper aggressive mega predator and more some peaceful giant but still able to defend itself when threatened

Since it's so close to the seafloor, I think it would be cool to have the leviathan physically based on something like Marine Gobies (The Yellow Watchman Goby for example) using their fins to push themselves along the floor, burrow and still be able to swim about with deepsea creature elements added

In terms of what the safest bet would possibly be, I would say make a alter design for it. It could be safe but for the SLIGHTEST possibility that the design was Traced it would be better to work on a alteration for safety

I'd say that the void spike leviathan looks too similar to the fan work and I'm of the opinion that it should be redesigned, which pains me to say because it looks SO cool in the concept art. I don't want to accuse anybody because I've known people who've been subject to "similar ideas" who legitimately just came up with the ideas independently of one another, but here with the pose, the head, the body shape--it would be safer to come up with a different design. And if the developers don't want to make it bulky, there are loads of deep sea creatures they could draw inspiration from and still evoke that nightmare fuel aesthetic.

I've had a lot of dream scenarios of a version of Subnautica we've never seen before, with far crazier terrain and massive sharks, as well as deep void abandoned outposts with loads of puzzles and lore behind them

What I personally am really hoping for is more of robin and al-an's story. I know sbz wasnt as well received as the original but Im so curious about the architects and I hope they allow us to see more of their homeworld at the very least

We need a void leviathan without eyes.

I wouldn't say its "traced" I would more say HEAVILY inspired. Like used that artwork to create the creature with no given credit or any other influences. But regardless that is a major issue- and the OG artist probably wouldn't be happy about it I'd imagine. In my opinion I'd say take inspo from real life creatures that live at deep depths in the Hadopelagic zone. There are plenty of cool creatures down there that would be great inspo~

Aww the baby garg animations are cute enough to make you forget it becomes a massive apex predator that eats reaper leviathans in the void that eventually has beef with ya

Not sure if this would be an option, but I think the ideal scenario would be getting permission from the original artist for the design. If this isn't possible, you could always change some things up a bit.

I love how right now, subnautica 3 is basically a cryptid of the internet

When I hear expansive maps, I'm thinking it's meaning large maps, maybe we'll see a mix of alterra home world and 4546b, or possibly some other worlds affected with karaa that we get to explore as we're trying to fix Alan's mistake (architect from below zero, sorry if name is wrong it's been a while!). I just think that there's so much potential, and if they were saying expansion packs, they would call them dlc or expansion packs, and the wording of "expansive maps" is just referring to a large game area or areas

the instant you read "maps" i imagined the ability of traveling between 4546B and the alien world that we saw in the ending of BZ

I would 100% Redesign the Levithan, if you put the two in front of me and asked me about who made them I'd say the same person no doubt. There is no question in my mind that some of that was tracked or over referenced. And I like the eel dragon idea but it seems kinda overused, maybe something like a giant Isopod that hung around massive thermal vends and lunges out at you would be super cool

Been a long time, nice to see you’re still getting views. I remember forever ago when I used to watch basically all of your Isle videos. Love the vids.

Oh an underwater adventure show based on subnautica with the Horror of the unkown mixed in would be so good if done right

When he goes to the void at the start its actually terrifying

I kinda like how the leviathan looks to be honest i think you should keep it because it looks so creepy and looks like a creature that would live in the void

The concept art is a straight ripoff of that Void Dragon piece. Yeah, they added some spooky flair and altered some miniscule dimensions, but its still 95% the same freaking thing

i feel like we really need the garg in subnautica 2, i feel like it would give the original feelings we got in the first subnautica that bellow zero couldn't replicate. thats because it was too easy,it wasnt as unknown

I can not express how excited I am to hear that this is coming out so soon to now! They have every bit of support from us. Make a beta version $75 so be it. If it supports it I'm all about it!

Some things I would love to see in the next Subnautica: Some version of the Silence leviathan More expansive maps Darker depths Less lighting ( Below Zero, I love you, but you aren't scary enough) More terrifying aspects to the game. More vehicles More base add ons A mix of the story line (not as spread out as Subnautica but definitely not as forward as Below Zero)

Oh god finally something new, I was diying really hard without any new content. I NEED IT.

I would say definitely change the design. Make it's colour pattern match it's abilities, for instance the pink emp bursts, make the bioluminescence pink and white, and make it match it's biome and the depth at which it lives as well, but right now it's waaay too similar to the design, it shouldn't have the same shape and fins as it does in that concept art at all

I've been waiting a month's for more subnautica 3 info. Please keep it up

subnautica is my favourite game ever and cant wait for the new subnautica! I also hope that we will get some different types of leviathans like kraken or shark leviathan

Subnautica 3 needs two things, that crazy new super realistic lighting thingy (RTX?)and full VR support.

To make it a bit scarier, they should make the W.I.P leviathan design a bit longer and add a slightly longer jaw with more jagged teeth. Yet it’s just *my personal opinion.*

a TV series of subnautica now that be awesome

As tracing goes (I'm the art lead for a Pittsburgh game studio) if that piece was meant to be a different creature, there's 0% chance. It has the same pose and proportions. It many not have been traced, but it is basically the exact same creature. Same glow spots, head shape, coloration, body shape, location of major features, etc. It's basically a repainting. If someone took one of my concept arts and repainted it to use as a reference for a 3D model, I'd be pretty pissed if they didn't ask first. This is too close, close enough for legal action.

The Photogalvanic Leviathan and Cryptosuchus will haunt my nightmares forever now. Thanks Anthomnia, and the Subnautica community. But in all honestly that rough draft is spicy!

best coures off action is to have both model makers off the creatsure come to a agreement (even if this is acsidental happens) to discuss this if some tweaks is to be needed for respecting the others original and all that

The only thing i would change with the picture of the leviathan, is that the blue dots should all be purple to show where the emp wave/blasts power is coming from

I thought of an incredible concept idea for a Leviathan, so what if it was so big, it has tentacles that stay in the same place so long that they look like giant long branches of an underwater tree stretching to different sections through the cavern. But every couple of time you come back to the branches, you can see they have moved ever so slightly. So eventually you decide to follow the branches to the source, which leads you to nothing but a giant, pitch black, open cavern…… and a pair a giant, feral, hungry eyes.

I'm often baffled when it comes to Anthomnia going lengths to uncover the use of someone else's intellectual property vs him going lengths to datamine stuff and annoy Obraxis with potential leaks and hints and licensed trademarks.

I read expansive maps, as well, expansive maps, like bigger maps than before, and more creatures than before. gonna be honest, I don't see where you got expansion maps out of expansive maps but it would be cool if we got multiple DLC maps

Tbh your safest option is to change up the design and maybe go with a frilled shark type look or go with something like a isopod type look hell you could even possibly go with a octopus look I'm sure people would probably be alright with a redesign.

All that work for a submarine that immediately quits life when it sees the garg lol.

the leviathan reminds me of of a subnautica creepypasta which was called like the monster in the void, it discribes almost exactly that leviathan

So I know it's likely this won't happen but I'd love to see a Subnautica live action tv show.

If they extend the map, as you said in your last video talking about the void calls and the map being 40km and stuff. What if the middle of the map is the safe space? It's the shallows, and they're connected to it. Are all the biomes we experienced in the subnational one? And in turn, if we venture through the void due north, we can meet/see the map of subsynaptic two(I forgot the name of that title) and get it as an expandable DLC. I don't know how good the new engine will be, but I do hope the map could be even more significant than 40km, maybe even 80 or 100km, where we can explore an entire content lost due to rising sea waters and truly explore a world where the deepness of the void...really wasn't that deep. The world from the cutscenes on the subnational one looks enormous, so the opening being underwater content looks pretty plausible in my eyes, and it's so exciting to think about what if 9000 or even 20,000 meters deep really isn't deep? What if the world could drop at the border to 60 or even 130,000 meters deep and show all those extinct giant monsters, far more extensive than the most enormous leviathan we could think of in that area? From a leviathan that can mimic anything to lure its pretty into the darker, far more desolated void, and then one day we get a sabbatical where we can explore the whole planet, but I don't think a PC would be able to run that, lol. I'm excited to see what they can come up with for this new project! Underwater caves formed in the bones or rotting body of a giant gargantuan leviathan, new creatures brought from other planets that adapted to the many years of living in the void, to even a multitude of mutations of either the precursors who either had their consciences saved became insane and lived in the loss dying submarines of the precursors who lure you in to steal your body if you're unlucky enough to listen to their calls. They have so many things to experiment with at their fingertips, and I hope they go all out of this game and make it utterly horrifying to even think about what you would run into. I hope I didn't run over myself a lot in this; it was so fun to think of what they could do with this game. Hey, maybe it was a scientist who was sent out back to the planet to find the cure to Riley's dumb mistake of turning off the worlds hazmat system, Only to find out that they would have to secure and capture one of the Sea kings to reverse engineer the cure in Riley's blood- Hence why multiplayer would be in the game due to having multiple people capture and secure a sea king. Then use the instructions left both by Riley(probs dead) to remake the cure.

I would like to have a hostile leviathan that travels through all biomes(not counting safe shallows of course), and that there's only a certain amount of them, it doesn't make any sound, until it spots you where it will let out a roar or a shriek, where it will then hunt you down, my imagination tells me it should fairly big though not alot bigger than a reaper

"Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming."

Love it! keep the good videos or work up my guy

I believe that whatever can be done, it should make for the best looking/functional for the players. If it looks best how it is, don't modify it, that kind of thing

5:49 I love how he’s just like no you can’t go there (isn’t that the gargantuan leviathan?)

Subnautica has always been my favourite game, it adds all of my favourite genres of games all into one, Water Based, Alien, Survival, Horror. I love survival horror games and this one is 100% my all time favourite cant wait for subnautica 3

There isn't nearly enough differences and absolutely needs a redesign, which is a shame because it's a really cool design. What'd be better is a cephalopod leviathan or some kind of lazy giant jellyfish that floats randomly in the void, maybe you can harvest the tendrils for something, maybe it sticks to your sub and slows you down, idk. Right now every leviathan in Subnautica feels kinda samey.

I have no skills in 3d modeling, but I am an artist, and sketching bizarre, especially dragon-like, creatures is my specialty. I would love to make some concept designs of my own take on this creature

3000 km? that's crazy man

I loooove the concept art, even though its close to the abyssal dragon, i wouldnt change much, maybe give it a different tail

Finally after 2 years! I'll be traumatized just like like i used to.

For the photogalvanic leviathan, I feel like the face should be changed, it needs some sort of unique definingmfeature as a leviathan so it isnt just another big fish.

YESS I’ve been waiting for this one

Honestly this is one of my favourite things about the community the fact that players go digging in to potentially sources that aren’t public to get a better perspective on the game.

Bro survived an encounter with the gargantuan leviathan bros a true legend

Honestly i grew up around the time below zero was in early access and i love watching people play the first subnautica so whatever subnautica 3 will be i will support and buy it bc it holds a special place in my heart♥

Subnautica remains nerve-shredding nightmare fuel, glad to be reminded!

Its such a beautiful game as an addition id love to see: 1. A Sneaker Leviathan - A horrific leviathan that sneaks up on you, youre just going about your daily business and then turn around and theres a whole open sharp toothed mouth coming slowly toward you or something, 2. A back story and more surrounding the void to explore, a research facility deep in the void and the PDA data explains that the chemicals once stored in the facility had the capability to cause any creatures exposed to it to grow to huge sizes but there was a problem during an experiment and the creature they were testing on reached a size they werent prepared for then it destroyed the facility and now resides in the void forever And then because of that when you go into the void you're met with void creatures (like normal) but if you spend over a certain amout of time there then something else happens Maybe you see some scary looking eyes open on a gigantic face in the pitch black distance and hear some horrific noises then the eyes start eerily getting closer really slowly until you can see the head clearer and clearer until you can eventually see teeth and its still getting closer until it eats you, the scary thing about that could not only be its appearance but if youre not looking the right way then you might not notice it until its really close to you, then theres an animation of teeth going over your head and you being eaten whole.. obvsiously if you do see it then it prompts you to want to swim away from the edge of the map away from it or youre inevitably eaten (Essay and a half but i got carried away)

insane how far mods are going for the first subnautica

bro is a detective without even realizing it.

Its been a long yet enjoyable ride from the start

I never get bored of this game

9:27 so I'm slightly less scared of this leviathan and 100000x more terrified of whatever this thing considers a threat.

As someone who has bought Subnautica and Below Zero on Steam, it feels awesome that another Subnautica game is coming❤😊

Please we need to see an 20km long leviathann

Ik im a bit late to this video, but I just realized when they say more expansive maps it could be in subnautica 3 you are traveling between planets, because in one of your earlier videos something was mentioned about a dev talking about exploring multiple worlds with friends.

Love your videos, this is sick!

this is so epic and I cant wait for The Atlas

3,000km deep is literally insane. Cuz 8km deep (Mariana's Trench) is deepest here on Earth... so guessing a place with 3,000km deep ocean must be what... Neptune sized planet?

the next subnautica would be awsome if it had co-op and eventually unlock the whole planet for us to explore from top to bottom hot to cold

God it’s all so amazing but BABY LEVIATHAN IS THE CUTEST THING EVERRRR AAAAAA

I'd love to see possible humanoid entities to the next Subnautica

Could you imagine a Subnautica movie or show? Especially a movie, I feel like they would have to break it up into 3 or 4 parts to do the story justice. Like part 1 is about surviving the Aurora crash and scrambling to get a base going, part 2 would be about finding remnants of other ship crashes like the Degasi ending with the destruction of the Sunbeam, part 3 is about trying to find someone way off the planet/disabling the QEP ending with learning about the Emperor locked away due to telepathic communications and then end the whole thing saving the Emperor and disabling the gun. The whole time tho, the main character would not go too deep until the last movie like in parts 1-3 the deepest they go is the Jellyshroom caves and save the DEEP stuff for the last movie. Also if they followed the structure of the game, they would have to basically have 1 person carry the entire thing. Like what The Martian was going for except turned up to 11

I wonder how the plot of the next game is going to go. If it’s going to continue to follow Robin and Al-an it would be cool if there was a piece of tech or power source the architects lost to the void so they have to travel back to 4546-B and combine alien tech to go down like 15K and deal with all the crazy leviathan class creatures. Not sure where it will go since the series ended off world but I think that could help turn it around.

I can't wait for the next Subnautica game

I think what it means by expansive maps is they'll be bigger and will be much more to find and explore

Something is down there I checked it for and there is something terrifying

subnautica 3 should have the beautiful biomes we had in below zero and 1, but be more interactive yeah? like a plant species in a deep biome that hides when light is shined on it, or a big flower that uses a big shining bulb that looks like creepvine seeds to lure fish into it

I am looking forward to the release of Subnautica 3!

I hope that when the new game comes out we can delete old buildings left at a time unknown by those of Altera, for materials or replacement of a newer model. whilst also being able to also build on land.

I was honestly expecting something like the Kraken from Clash of the Titans.

5:49 He's trying spinning, it's a good trick.

I looked at your comparison and I can say with 99% accuracy that it is NOT traced. The angle of the body is different, same thing with the neck, as well as the fin shapes on all parts have obvious variations along with the shape and bend of the neck. The tail as well curves differently. The artist of the photorealistic one just used the og as a reference, there's too many little and big differences for it to be traced. If they can digitally paint well enough to create semi-realistic skin and lighting, then certainly they definitely have an understanding of shape and depth. So the chances of it being tracing is exorbitantly low for the amount of work that actually takes, they'd be better off drawing it themselves, basing it off the original, than to trace it. You're welcome to redesign it regardless, though I hope the catfish-like features are kept.

12:48 imagine if thats hwo the next subnautica grafics is gonna be XO

Hopefully they add in some multiplayer so you can get a whole crew.

Imagine just imagine They add gargantuan leviathan or the ancient skeleton to subnautica 3 ALIVE This would be the most unexpected and Pog think that can even happen
