Subnautica 2's First Major Update Will Be Its "Scariest Ever" and Add What Players Are Asking For

Players won't have to start a new game to explore the next region.

The Subnautica 2 developer also noted that Unknown Worlds Entertainment is happy to see so many people playing multiplayer, and the community can expect several "small but interesting" updates in the "near future." Emotes and proximity voice chat, improvements to the biomod system, and refinements to gameplay related to wreckage and encounters with infected terrain are all in the works.

A technical update for Subnautica 2 was recently released, which fixed several critical bugs and added support for modern NVIDIA technology.
