Pedaling back the clock to 2021, developer Unknown Worlds Entertainment launched new standalone title – Subnautica: Below Zero. Ambitious to continue from the base Subnautica game, it was clear for one thing – this was not the official sequel for the game. And followed by the team’s acquisition by Krafton that December, efforts were to ramp up for the next installment in the coming years.

At the Xbox Partner Preview this week, Unknown Worlds Entertainment revealed a new trailer for Subnautica 2. Not only that, the game is now set to release next year confirming its release on Xbox, PC, and Xbox Game Pass. You can watch the new trailer in the video below:

“We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes crafting the foundation of the next Subnautica experience. Our goal has always been to bring early access to as many members of our community as possible, to develop the game alongside our fans and players. That’s why we’re equally proud to announce that Subnautica 2 (Game Preview) will be available with Game Pass on day one,” community manager Donya Abramo shares.

“Launching via the Xbox Game Preview program provides an incredible opportunity for anyone trying the game to send feedback our way. It helped shape and guide the direction of Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero, and we’re thrilled to be developing Subnautica 2 in the same tradition! As teased in the heart-stopping trailer that debuted during the Xbox Partner Preview event, for the first time in the Subnautica franchise, you’ll traverse beyond Planet 4546B.

“Whether you’re bringing the experience of your previous adventures with you, or are new to the Subnautica games, you’ll get to explore lush new environments, encounter fascinating creatures around every corner, and uncover the secrets at the core of this mysterious planet. But as familiar as things might seem to seasoned players at first glance, Subnautica 2 will offer new and unique experiences that will keep you on your… fins.”
