Hey friends! Just a few clarifications since I've only seen the Anth interview with Obraxis (link in description) after finishing this vid :) - "Subnautica 2" is the official name of the game - Like the Krafton presentation said, we will be on a new planet, not 4546b

The fact that the image is in-game photo scares me, because the leviathans are probably going to look a little more realistic, but also I love it because it’s just a beautiful looking game and i can’t wait to see it in action! Edit- By the way, I saw this in Anthomnia’s video, in the image there is a GIANT FREAKING CRAB in the far left of the image, and if that stays in then I don’t really think this games version of the safe shallows will be very safe, because we got that shark-looking thing as well as the crab.

okay, Multiplayer Subnautica actually sounds fun I've been dying to have an actual 3 man team in the cyclops

I really hope the game follows the same gameplay loop/ formula as the first Subnautica

my heart dropped when I heard "game as a service" so glad the devs cleared that up and I hope they truly are making a great single player and multiplayer experience without microtransations

idk about anyone else but I really hope they bring back the more desolate and abandoned feel/atmosphere that Subnautica had. Below Zero felt a lot less lonely, desperate and eerie, which obviously isn't a bad thing as it's completely subjective, but for me and I'm sure a lot of other people, that horror aspect was sorely missed. I also really hope they design some genuinely terrifying creatures for the planet, that focus on a face/body that is actually horrifying to look at through a screen. Like even if you remove all context from the Reaper, and just paste its body onto a white background, its face alone is nightmare fuel, and was clearly designed to be nightmare fuel

what I'd really love to see is a handcrafted map like the 1st game, but slightly randomized leviathan spawning, so there's still an element of the unknown in repeat playthroughs. Something like "biome X has a 15% chance of spawing leviathan Y in each of these five locations". That way certain biomes could still be inherently safe (or dangerous) but you don't entirely know for sure until you do some exploring

So hyped to play sub2 with my friends

I hope they dont make the same mistake as with below zero, they removed the scariness in below zero. Every creature roared like a leviathan and the music was never threatening, everything was bright too. Really removed subnauticas core feeling.

Can't wait! I really do hope they listen to the feedback given related to the story in 1 vs bz.

Despite the story of 4546b feeling somewhat unfinished, I think that leaving room for speculation while moving on to a new world is probably the best choice. Either way, I'm looking forward to the new vehicles, biomes, creatures and everything unknown worlds has to offer, no matter the wait time! Thanks for making these videos, by the way. You're awesome.

What I love about these screenshots is that even tho this is made in ue5 it really keeps the art style of subnautica, I was a bit worried they'd change it too much but that reasures me a lot

Super excited for the next game. I really hope to have a PC setup ready by the time EA comes out. On a random note, I realized Bacons initials backwards spell out BLT.

Thank you for giving us that clarification Bacon. Also, I suggest looking at Anthomnia's latest video on Subnautica 2 because he interviewed on of the team members that are working on the game.

A few things I’m looking forward to for Subnautica 2 are expandable aquariums, For even more fun in base building, With the ability to attach all sorts of cosmetics to them like pipes to send fish from one aquarium to another. And the ability to make bigger Docking modules, Like one for a Cyclops, Or a Seatruck module storage bay. Or if we’re going into Kharaa territory, Features to prevent infection for as long as possible, like infected fish locators and quarantine areas for your sea base.

I'm so relieved that it's gonna be a single player focused game with optional co-op mode, I was worried it would be forced multiplayer

I was expecting some mecha-fauna introduction into subnautica 2, as the only engineered fauna we've got so far is the Warper.

4:25 Not in a million years would I have saw this as an in game screenshot without someone telling me it is. It actually looked like concept art at first! I can't wait to play the final product with my brother :))) edit: the vehicle in the ss might be some kind of exploration drone, kinda like the pengling bot but aquatic

That large creatures head reminds me of some concept art for head designs of the Shadow Leviathan, which was one of my favorite designs that never got used

Cannot wait for the game. Gonna be so good! I'm excited to see if they do more with the void.

I just started replaying, a couple days ago. I’m so glad to hear this!

i’m not sure if this is possible, but i really hope they fix the perceptive size of the game, in the other subnauticas the leviathans just don’t look that big from the player’s perspective it would be really cool to see them fix that

Yessss!!! So excited for the new info coming out. :) thanks for all your great work, Bacon!

I hope they fix the issue with the scaling with leviathans. The only time I truly realized how huge they were was when I flew my seamoth under a reefback in VR... And then I realized the scale of things even more when I was attacked by a ghost leviathan.

plot twist, the picture shows the deepest part of the void

So excited for this game

excited for early access and to see what direction they take story in! also excited to see all the biomes and get some nice screenshots B)

Hopefully we get the old altera PDA voice back 😮‍💨

Yes multiplayer for sure!

I’ve been waiting so long for news on subnautica 2 I’m so glad it’s here

Great Video. A lot of these infos have been confirmed or denied by the newest interview with the devs

I didn’t know they will not be releasing the early access version this year. That makes me sad. But the little screenshot from the game looks great.

Looking forward to the next Subnautica!!! I loved 1 and below zero was a cool expansion experience. I would grateful to get more of that and absolutely no season pass, live service or unsolicited business tactics that would reap the life out of a great new original game. Those tactics will not make this game better. It will absolutely will harm the experience and harm the love and fanbase that has been created from nothing. Keep the heart going and you will be far more successful than can be imagined!

Imagine being able to use the Neptune rocket we previously built to travel between the subnautica 1 verse, below zero verse and also this one. That would be insane

im excited to play this with my friends! hope it keeps and improves some older features, as well as adding new ones

that vehicle looks alot like the front of a cyclops, and has wiring behind it, so what if its like an escape pod, or a smaller pod that can detach from the actual cyclops?

Imagine a Subnautica game where alterra gives Riley an alternative, with how much debt he’s in they decide to give him a way out if he chooses to do so. Use Architect technology to go back in time and study 4546b in its primitive form, it’ll be much more dangerous with possibly more or less resources

Have you seen Anthomnias interview with Obraxis? It's very exciting

I'm playing Subnautica VR on a Quest 3. It is the most magical and immersive experience you can possibly have in VR and I've played most of famous VR titles both on PC and Quest. If the new game either support VR or can be modded for VR, it will be a guaranteed purchase for me but if it's not, I won't even touch it and enjoy the absolutely unforgettable experience that I have with the current 2 iterations.

I cant wait for the release, thank you for the info Bacon!

Just "finished" subnautica the first and men i'm really really hype to see a multiplayer subnautica with the same or more amout of scenario, atmosphere, immersing work they gave us for the first. the indescribable sensation when you go for the first time under 500m, the exploration of all the biome, to be tense by the sound and all, just whaa sorry for the bad spelling speaking, i'm french

If the game takes place on another planet wouldnt it be possible that ryley robinson had to land on that planet because he couldnt get permission to land on the planet he wanted to as he was 3 trillion credits in debt

In total great news. I loved playing both Subnautica titles and and especially in VR! Subnautica: Below Zero with vr mod is still one of my absolute favorite vr titles of all time! Great to hear, that the new one will get unreal engine 5 support, so a at least vr support through the great URVR injector mod is confirmed. But I am still hoping, that SN2 would get native vr support with hand controls an so on, that would be so nice!

Co-op? That would be so fun!

IGN just wanted attention and their next big story, they don't care if they say something absolutely wrong or ruin a devs/games reputation.

I really hope Subnautica 3 (or subnautica 2 they call it apparently) still takes place on 4546B because there is still so much potential! Like if you look at earth, each continent or hell even country contains a vast variety of animal life, so there is still so much flora and fauna left to explore on 4546B

finally youtube put your video to my front page on time, I'm really excited for the new game and look forward to playing it with friends (if they are gonna buy it)

In the Krafton report it said that it was on an "entirely new alien planet" which could mean it is set somewhere other than 4546B. If this is the case, maybe the potential DLC could be placed on 4546B as a sort of throwback

Help, im still in the backrooms

I hope that their focus isn't on a narrative driven game. Story is not their strenght. If they just focus on the enviroments and survival aspects it'll probably turn out ok. Hopefully it'll have large open areas like the first game.

Those new creatures look 🔥. I’m so so so excited!

Can't wait I want a full crew on cyclops or Fleet of prawn suits

MAN I HOPE RILEY RETURNES

On the photo with the seamothtruckthing i swear thats a building in the air above the crab thing in the top left of the screen. i am probably wrong so please correct me then

I hope they make the user experience better: allow the inventory to stack, have more objectives that make it easier to track information you have but couldn't act on right away, make scanners connect or mobile and make the scans specific for scannable stuff or just make items inert after you have the thing scanned already (so your scanners stop showing them) and make it so you can upgrade depth modules while they're in use. Also, it'd be great if I could turn the difficulty down, because having to manage food and water wasn't fun after the first few hours. Most of the issues are because of inventory space being constantly limited so that you can't do much before having to go dump everything in storage I played and elected to not finish because the game constantly makes life harder than it's worth.

Sounds very exciting! Hope the devs take their time on this and don't rush and hopefully we'll have an other-worldly new instalment to the Subnautica franchise! Bit worried though about launch issues since that is extremely common nowadays. For example: poor performance, unfinished/rushed game: bad gameplay etc. But I'm positive the devs prioritize quality! But we'll just have to wait and see.

Phew! Thankfully the devs pulled through and clarified before it got too bad. Like many others, I’m so excited to get any more info on the new game. I might be worried performance wise with the next gen graphics on UE5, but It shouldn’t be a concern with unknown worlds (I hope)

It’s cool that they hid the giant crab in the second image it makes it more mysterious and scary then just showing it

3:55 this looks so cool!!

I cant wait! Not only for the game but more of your videos on the new Subnautica game :) One more thing Is the price of the game confirmed yet?

In the earnings report, it is shown that the game will take place on a brand new alien planet meaning it won't be set on 4546b, that's why there are new flora, fauna and vehicles. But I believe the game play elements and overall stoty arc will be relatively the same, you crashland on an alien world, harvest resources to survive, find out why you crash landed and then figure out how to escape, I don't think there will be an alien disease this time or if there is, perhaps its more treatable than karaar.

i dont really have friends to play subnautica with but im wondering how the progress sharing will work, like is the world saved server side? or is it client side, if so then how will people play and keep progress

I just hope they learned from the issues with Below Zero. What made the first game so great was the sense of isolation and the all-pervasive fear that comes along with that. In BZ, your character speaks with other characters directly far too often for that sense of isolation to kick in. The new game being 1-4 player will have an effect on that, of course, but there are still ways to make players feel alone and afraid in a multiplayer game.

Hey, Bacon! Just curious, I want to give myself a challenge for a subnautica run (to make it interesting) but I'm not sure what to do, any ideas?

I would love to see you try more games and post as well

Hey what is happening with return of the ancients mod? The latest thing I have seen about it was 7 months ago and that was the dev qna

Most excited i've ever been for any game! I fully trust that the devs will make yet another masterpiece. Cheers!

Mr. Bacon in an interview Obraxis has confirmed that S2 will take place on another planet, not on 4546B. It would be great if you would make an video focusing on those 2 screenshots we got. I would like to hear your thoughts on some details, mainly 2 that I noticed: 1) Sub looks like an actual detachable cockpit of Cyclops looking sub. 2) those two Mesmer looking fish seem to me like they are in a symbiotic relationship with Blue shark maybe guiding it towards pray if it had bad eyesight or even paralyzing it`s pray, because they seem to swim rather close to it and in pair.

Ordered my plushie yesterday! ❤

having a second part to the story with a subtitle and the third game labled as 2 is a completly normal gamedev tech. in other news arch talked with obraxis and it tells more then when you did. also take a clooooooose look at the left side of that update pic. there is a huge hermitcrab under the rock in the background.

POSSIBLE Gameplay: Riley (and others) crashes (AGAIN) far away from an alterra (I don’t think I spelt that right) base, and they are in the planet 1043A (could change) far away from the 4546 system.

I hope that they still have the single player element though for those who want it. As much as I love the thought of goofing with my friends on subnautica, I loved the atmosphere and the TERROR the first game managed to create and that feeling of being truly alone. The world took center stage and the story was beautifully made. (in the first game, bz was a bit rough. We love her but she was a bit rough.)

I think the game is going to take place on a new planet. There's no way the Architects kept themselves to just a single planet when dealing with the kharaa, but it's very possible that they were intentionally going to ocean worlds for their research (probably because their research had higher success rates when studying marine life.) The lack of any identical fauna is a good indicator of this, and it would be kind of an "asspull" to introduce yet another landmass or shallow area when the planet is supposed to only have select ecosystems to begin with.

The image is so cool I wonder what the lore will be this time?

Game as a service in this case probably means something similar to Hello Games with No Man's Sky

a sharable experience would be wonderful pvp would be hilarious

I wasn't expecting more Subnautica, AND with coop... i'm so delighted rn

Does anyone know if it is exclusively online co-op or if there will be couch co-op aswell?

I can't wait for this! ❤

YAAAAGGGG Honestly, I'm very disappointed that we won't have a demonstration this year :/

Laughs in a friend and I already decided to create a massive research base and yoink every creature we can get our hands on for it

I’m so excited!!! The original game sparked my love for game concept art, especially creature concept art, and now I’m pursuing it as a career path! Love this game franchise sm

There is a video from Anthomnia, where they talked with a developer about some details and rumours. For example, there they confirmed, that the name “Subnautica 2” will be the official name of the game. There is also much more information on many aspects you talked about, so to anyone, who wants more specific information, give it a watch !

Makes me happy that they've taken inspiration from the orca by using the big dorsal fin and the markings on the head looking like eyes but it's not.

Love the Stanley Parable OST "The End Is Never The End Again"!

my question from few years ago popped up when i saw 'different planet' is there a 4546A? bcz the subnautica planet's name ends with B (i know... just a stupid question)

I hope the fog is like the first game because it looks more creepy and they need to add more leviathans

The most interesting notice is the fact the game can also be enjoyed solo. This means, in clarification, that the story is of course isn’t going to be simple copy and paste from the first. Chances are that this is going to be a new story built with multiplayer in context. With four main characters, chances are that the story and gameplay is going to feel more relaxing when around friends and a lot less grindier. All the better, in my opinion, straight to the fun goofy, imma totally not hit you with my seamoth gameplay.

Omg multiplayer Subnautica is a dream come true! We truly live in a great reality!

Co-OP? I have been dreaming for this day to come, imagine exploring the dark abyss and entering the eerie silence of the depths with a friend, hopefully the atmosphere and vibes are similar to the original subnautica.

3:56 No way he put in Dapper Cadaver from the Tf2 Soundtrack. My god I love this guy’s content so much!!

I think I heard somewhere (probably in SpeedyMouse's video) that the game will take place on a different planet other than 4546B. What if this is "The Massacre of Obraxis Prime"? Probably not since ranged weapons such as guns would be allowed then. :(

There is also a Big ol" hermit crab boi in the behind the seamoth esc thing in the far left.

I feel like since we are going to a new planet now, the devs could answer our questions about 2546B, like, we all know the game is in the crater and beyond the crater we have the void, what is in the void, we know there is the ghosts and near the sector zero we got the below zero leviathan thingy, but is only that? Maybe deeper there could have an ecosystem or new creatures, they could answer those questions or put the answers on the new game

You're one of the few who still enjoy subnautica, that's why I admire you Because it's a game that doesn't get caught too much but you take it to the stars with mods and lore

I hope they add a lot of new furniture and base pieces. I always loved to make big bases in Subnautica, but they were pretty much empty.

when i first saw the screenshot i was like: oh, what a nice concept! but when he said that it was screenshot, i was like: wait... THAT WAS A SCREENSHOT? (idk if my pc is gonna handle that...)

glad multiplayer will be in it. it’s really my only thing i felt was missing. the solo experience in the game really adds to the terrifying effect but that doesn’t change that i want my friends right next to me feeling the same thing. i liked what the forest series did where they literally just plopped the single player version to multiplayer and really only increasing the difficulty in terms of spawns etc. i think this will make the game more popular as now gobs of friend groups will be getting it.

Really hope we get a teaser trailer soon

Um, at 4:50 you mention about that game not being necessarily on 4546B, buuut, at 1:20 when you mention the 1-4 player co-op, you don't even read what's directly below: uncover the mysteries on an entirely new alien planet. You got your answer right there buddy :) (Though yeah I know they could change that 50 times until even early access, but still, that's a hint to it, ain't it?)
