Following its incredibly successful launch day, Unknown Worlds has revealed the early access Subnautica 2 roadmap, letting us know what's to come for the survival game - which is especially interesting if, like me, you've already set foot outside the early access boundaries and turned yourself into leviathan food.
Sadly, there are currently no dates or timelines in the Subnautica 2 early access roadmap, but that's no bad thing. We'd rather these updates are rolled out when they're ready instead of being rushed out to meet a deadline, and we're sure we'll get a better idea closer to the time. With that in mind, here's what we do know about the roadmap so far.
Subnautica 2 early access roadmap
This first Subnautica 2 roadmap splits future updates into EA 1.1 and EA 1.2, as well as a larger future content update, more frequent hotfixes, and ongoing improvements. According to the official roadmap announcement, focus is also being put on multiplayer, based on feedback from players in the first few days.
While the larger expansion of the world is not going to arrive until a later update, the first two early access Subnautica 2 patches are set to include heaps of content. EA 1.1 is going to improve the ongoing biomods system, which allows you to choose from various passive and active abilities. So far, there aren't many of these to choose from, but it looks like that's one of the first things set to change during EA.
Improvements to storage and a sprint option should also arrive with the first update, while the second brings multiplayer changes including voice chat and revival, on top of changes to the HUD and the Subnautica 2 Habitat Builder tool.
More changes can be seen in the infographic above, and I certainly can't wait to see the new biomes and creatures set to arrive in Subnautica 2 during early access, which is currently set to last around two to three years according to a statement on Steam. With all that's to come before then, though, I'm happy to wait.
In the meantime, we can help guide you through everything that's already available in early access, including where to find silver in Subnautica 2, how to get a tadpole, and how to craft Subnautica 2 ingots, as well as a bunch of other Subnautica 2 guides.
