3 articles · Updated · Wccftech · Jun 4

Summary

  • Unknown Worlds said Subnautica 2 has sold more than 4 million copies since its early-access launch last month, marking the game's first sales update.
  • The studio used its first post-launch dev vlog to outline a larger patch due in coming weeks, shifting away from rapid hotfixes after releasing two fixes in the first week.
  • Near-term changes include Biomod upgrades with multiple passive slots, improved wreck gameplay, clearer Blight encounters, dialogue prioritization, and replayable voice logs.
  • Co-op players are also set to get emotes, proximity chat and more character customization, aimed at improving the multiplayer social experience.
  • Longer term, the next major content update will add a new Tadpole chassis that lets players "get stompy" and open a new region that developers say will be the game's scariest yet.
