Two For Subnautica 2 And Subnautica 2 For Two
Synchronized Swimming Is On The Way
There is a short devlog video for Subnautica 2 over at Rock, Paper, SHOTGUN which shows off a bit of the game and some details on what Unknown Worlds Entertainment has in store for us. The biggest announcement is confirmation of something we already knew, you will indeed be able to explore the underwater world with a friend. Theoretically this will be co-op, but that really depends on the friend you are playing with now, doesn’t it?
The new Subnautica is built in the Unreal Engine so you can expect it to be even prettier than the original. While the video doesn’t reveal too much about the game, after all it isn’t even in Early Access yet, there was an interesting tidbit revealed. When scanning a bit of slime, the computer announced that useful genetics had been found and you should expose yourself to it. Apparently you will now need to incorporate alien genetics into your body to “adapt your body for survival.”
What could possibly go wrong?
There's still no solid release date for Subnautica 2, but the studio making the fishy survival game have given folks a glimpse beneath the surface of development in a devlog video.

No thanks was looking forward to it but not adding weapons is a huge no thanks. The creators think hacking and slashing enemies is boring. What’s boring is always running away. Can’t loot in peace, can’t scan in peace that will get boring quick. Never going to buy this game.
You and I play Subnautica very differently.
So the reason actually ties heavily into the company releasing one of their games following the tragedy at Sandy Hook. It was a shooter and it didn’t sit well with them and they said they have no intention of adding weapons to games again. It’s totally fair to not have interest in a game for its choices but it’s unfair to them to assume their reasons for doing something when they’ve clearly noted otherwise.
