Subnautica 2 launched into Early Access today on Steam, Epic Games Store, and Xbox Preview.

From Unknown Worlds:

Developed by Unknown Worlds, founded by Charlie Cleveland and Max McGuire, Subnautica 2 is the official sequel to the genre-defining Subnautica series, which has sold more than 18.5 million copies worldwide. Set on a new alien world within the Subnautica universe, the sequel introduces new ecosystems, enhanced visuals powered by Unreal Engine 5, and for the first time in the series, optional co-op for up to four players, allowing players to survive and explore together.

“The Early Access launch of Subnautica 2 marks the beginning of an adventure to chart the unknown deep alongside players worldwide,” said Fernando Melo, Executive Producer of Subnautica 2. “Player feedback is the compass guiding our direction, and we will continue building the experience together with the community throughout Early Access.”
