The gaming world is abuzz with the recent revelation that the acclaimed undersea survival game, Subnautica, is set to expand its horizons with a sequel in 2025. This exciting news, however, didn’t come through the usual channels of flashy trailers or grand announcements. Instead, it surfaced in an unlikely place: a financial report from Krafton, titled “3Q 2023 Earnings Results – Investor Relations.”
The report, which caught the attention of gaming enthusiasts and analysts, referred to the project as “The Next Subnautica.” This subtle hint has sparked a wave of speculation and anticipation in the gaming community.
Previously, Unknown Worlds, the developer behind Subnautica, hinted at a new project in the works when they sought a senior narrative designer last year. This recent development suggests that their search was fruitful, and the game is on track for its 2025 release.
Sequel or Spin-Off?
The nature of this new addition to the Subnautica series remains shrouded in mystery. With the title still under wraps and scarce details, it leaves us pondering: will this be a direct sequel, or a new adventure within the Subnautica universe?
The distinction is subtle yet significant. The Krafton report labels the game under the “Adventure/Survival” genre, in line with the original game’s theme. Given the success and acclaim of the first game, particularly its title as the best survival game of 2018, expectations are high for this upcoming release.
For now, details are as deep and unexplored as the oceanic setting of Subnautica itself. Fans are left to speculate whether the new game will adhere to the underwater survival formula that made the original a hit or venture into new waters. Comparisons to the Steamworld series, known for its genre-shifting entries, suggest the potential for a fresh take on the beloved Subnautica universe.
