Subnautica 2 Gameplay
Subnautica 2's gameplay builds upon the series' established foundation of survival, exploration, and crafting within a vast alien ocean environment. Players must manage essential survival stats like oxygen, hunger, and thirst while going through diverse and dangerous underwater biomes.
A significant new addition is the implementation of online co-op for up to four players, which offers collaborative exploration, base construction, and discovery of the world's secrets. The crafting and base-building systems have been enhanced for deeper customization, allowing players to construct intricate underwater habitats and create new tools and vehicles.
Additionally, the new genetic modification pushes players to evolve their biology to adapt to the planet's extreme conditions, such as gaining resistance to high temperatures or pressures, or even improving their vision to perceive hidden elements.
