The brief trailer for Subnautica 2 appears to be all cinematics, but it sets the tone for the new game with a brief look at a colorful, inviting coral reef dive followed up by the most terrifying deep sea encounter you can imagine. The big tease here is that we see multiple characters working together, a clear example of the long-awaited addition of cooperative multiplayer for up to four players.

In a newXbox Wire blogwe see a handful of screenshots alongside confirmation that we’ll “traverse beyond Planet 4546B.” Some of this info hasalready been teased out by publisher Krafton in recent years, though developerUnknown Worlds has had to do some damage control on certain pieces of that messaging.

Subnautica 2 teasers may be hiding in plain sight in the first underwater survival game, as one dev not-so-subtly hints that something fishy is afoot.
