The first big update for Subnautica 2, version 1.1, will feature lots of content

Following a highly successful launch with over 4 million copies sold, Subnautica 2 will need to refine and expand its content. To that end, a first major update is already planned.

Before this patch is released, Unknown Worlds plans to introduce several improvements, such as a proximity chat, emotes, and additional customization options. Players will also be able to replay voice recordings. Easier access to more biomods is also on the agenda.

As for the free 1.1 update, it will offer more substantial additions. We’re talking about content focused on story and progression. A new region to explore will debut alongside a brand-new vehicle, creatures, and additional resources. A fearsome Leviathan will inhabit this area.

A preview of these elements was provided via the developers’ new vlog.
