This was a mistake in their wording, the next Subnautica will be like the others, they simple meant it will receive updates for a time after, just like the other ones did. There won’t be any battle pass or mtx bullshit.

I really loved Subnautica, didn’t like Below Zero but am still playing Subnautica from time to time. I can’t even imagine how a game with such a great setting and story can become a gaas. I can get behind co-op, but isn’t the ultimate goal in that game to get back home?

It’s not becoming GaaS, they just meant it will receive updates like the current ones did, was a mistake in wording.

I hope it’s more like Subnautica and not Below Zero too, having a silent protagonist explore a world and uncover story was far more fun than full voice acted characters. Not the mention how broken the BZ story was and how the world never made you feel uneasy like the original did.

Oh thank you for clarifying that!

Yes I agree. Even the soundtrack wasn’t good anymore and don’t get me started about the ending :)

I thought the soundtrack was good on it’s own (I love Ben Prunty’s music), but it did not fit the game.
The way the music and audio design in-general in the first game all fit together so well is what made half the experience.

And yeah…

you go down to find out what happens to your sister, then that becomes a side quest you can forget about and you fuck off with a random alien :')
