    Wait. When they say Subnautica 2, do they mean Subnautica: Below Zero, or an entirely new game?

          Don’t get too excited. The studio was been acquired by the publisher of PUBG, and their stated plans are to release subnautica 2 as a live service game with possible coop. I don’t think subnautica 2 is going to be anything like what you’re expecting. They’ve CLAIMED there will be no subscriptions or anything similar, but they’ve been conspicuously silent on microtransactions.

              Well I assumed since you were gonna tell him. Also better teach him to swim the other way if he ever sees a button with the letters “BUY” on it.

      BZ was never Subnautica 2. It was a spinoff produced by a different team. It was originally supposed to be an expansion for the first game, but it got big enough they decided to release it standalone.
