The sequel to the hugely successful Subnautica is creeping ever closer into the light, and we got our first proper look at it during Xbox's partner showcase event on Thursday. The Subnautica 2 reveal trailer opens by cutting between a zonked-out diver in the depths with a low-oxygen warning flashing on their helmet and a colorful Finding Nemo-esque coral biome.

Unknown Worlds said Subnautica 2 launching in early access will allow the studio to collect feedback to hopefully help the final product be the best it can be. This is a full-on sequel, but Unknown Worlds did release a standalone spin-off game called Subnautica: Below Zero in 2021.
