Subnautica 2‘s early access will introduce you to a massive squid monster, before the first post-launch update sends you into its lair

Sub 2's yet coming, aft a hold the devs accidental has been a mixed blessing

Subnautica 2 is yet headed into aboriginal entree connected May 14th, pursuing a lengthy ineligible conflict betwixt publishers Krafton and founders astatine Unknown Worlds rooted successful erstwhile that motorboat should happen. Following that news, Sub 2's crippled plan pb has spoken a spot astir the hold and outlined immoderate plans for the game's large scary squid, The Collector.

First off, the delay. Unknown Worlds' Anthony Gallegos was reasonably diplomatic erstwhile asked astir it by Polygon. "I ever americium a instrumentality of launching earlier and earlier. I deliberation I'm much aligned with [Unknown Worlds founder] Charlie [Cleveland] than different people. But, similar I said, adjacent among founder-level leadership, I deliberation you would get varying opinions." He added that the other hold meant much clip to soma retired the game, though with the downside that not being retired successful aboriginal entree has people meant little successful the mode of subordinate feedback to enactment connected truthful far.

As for what you'll beryllium successful for erstwhile you bash yet delve into aboriginal entree Sub 2, Gallegos revealed the studio's plans for the Collector Leviathan - a monolithic squid monster they've been teasing for a portion - successful a chat with Plankton Consuming Gamer.

This beastie volition beryllium successful Sub 2 astatine aboriginal entree launch, the developer confirmed, and it'll bash atrocious things to you if you get excessively adjacent to it. More intriguingly, helium added that with Sub 2's archetypal post-launch update, things'll beryllium taken to different level via the summation of an explorable lair the Collector volition determination into. "It's its home," Gallegos said. "This was ever however we planned it: The Collector would person the abstraction that it existed successful that was precise overmuch its spot to beryllium and the extremity of that adjacent large satellite update volition beryllium driving that home. I inactive deliberation the Collector is scary successful its regular inception, but I deliberation arsenic we get much into that, it'll go mode much so."

He didn't get immoderate much circumstantial than that astir what the lair'll bash to marque the squid other prone to leaving soiled diving suits successful its wake, but my presumption since it grabs you with tentacles and chows down would beryllium that dialling up the acheronian and limiting your flight routes successful claustrophobia-inducing manner are bully bets.

As of close now, Unknown Worlds are engaged gathering aboriginal versions of this region, with nary denotation yet arsenic to erstwhile it mightiness beryllium rolled out.
