If your life has been upsettingly devoid of underwater terror since polishing off Subnautica: Below Zero, a glimmer of nautical promise is on the (distant) horizon, with publisher Krafton confirming it expects the ocean survival series' next instalment to arrive in the first half of 2025.
Official word that a new Subnautica game was on the way first surfaced in April last year, when developer Unknown Worlds - the studio behind the series' original 2018 entry and its 2021 follow-up Subnautica: Below Zero - announced it was seeking a senior narrative designer to "help shape the next game in the Subnautica universe".
And now, a little over 18 months later, the new Subnautica has made an appearance in publisher Krafton's slate of upcoming releases, as shared via the deeply unsexy means of financial report slide presentation (thanks Rock Paper Shotgun). It's set to launch in "1H25" - the first half of 2025 - but, beyond that, details are limited.
