Unknown Worlds has published the development roadmap for Subnautica 2, which entered early access on May 15. The early access period is expected to run 2 to 3 years before full release. The roadmap covers the first few months of that period. Version 1.1 will focus on quality-of-life improvements. Version 1.2 will address requests for cooperative online multiplayer. Later versions will include major expansions such as new biomes and story content. The team also acknowledged that encounters with some predatory creatures cause more stress than excitement, with unclear means to deal with them. They are working on adjustments to attack timing, attack range, flare effects, survival tool effects, and interactions between creatures and vehicles or bases. A feedback voting service called Nolt has been opened where players can submit requests or vote on existing proposals. The team described early access as a collaboration with the community, not a bug-reporting platform.
