"Subnautica 2: Multiplayer and Game as a Service Model Revealed"

Krafton has announced Subnautica 2 as a multiplayer-focused live-service game, featuring stunning graphics and one to four player co-op exploration of an alien planet. The original Subnautica and its follow-up, Below Zero, were single-player games, but modders added multiplayer post-launch. The announcement comes amid industry struggles with live-service games, with recent cancellations and commercial challenges for titles like Destiny 2 and Fortnite. Subnautica 2 is set for release in 2024, and its live-service model will be closely watched.
