'''''Subnautica 2''''' is an open world survival game currently being developed by [https://unknownworlds.com/en ''Unknown Worlds Entertainment''] and the first full sequel to the original ''[[Subnautica]]''. Early Access for ''Subnautica 2'' was announced on October 17th, 2024, with its release slated for 2025 on PC and Xbox. It is unlikely that ''Subnautica 2'' will be available for Playstation ahead of its full release, as Playstation does not offer previews like Xbox or Early Access titles like PC.

Unlike its Unity-based predecessors, ''Subnautica 2'' will be made in Unreal Engine 5.<ref name=":0">https://www.pcgamesn.com/wp-content/sites/pcgamesn/2024/02/subnautica-2-multiplayer-krafton-earnings-report.jpg ''Dated February 8, 2024''</ref> It will also be the first in the franchise to feature an official, optional<ref name=":1">https://unknownworlds.com/subnautica/an-update-about-the-next-subnautica/ ''Dated February 8, 2024''</ref> multiplayer mode, with support for up to four players.<ref name=":2">https://store.steampowered.com/app/1962700/Subnautica_2/</ref>

''Subnautica 2 is being created by Unknown Worlds, a fully remote studio that traces its roots back to the 2002 Half-Life mod Natural Selection.
