Worlds announces that Early Access to
Subnautica Below Zero begins on
January 30th, offering a countdown timer ticking off the seconds until the
release. They plan a livestream to celebrate at that time, providing links for
potential viewers. They stress that this does not mean development is complete:
"Below Zero is not finished. It is full of bugs. It lacks polish, runs poorly,
and is missing features. We are offering Early Access not because we want your
money, but because we want your feedback. We make better games when we make them
with you." Here's word on how this follows the underwater action of the first
Subnautica game:
Dive into a freezing underwater adventure on an
alien planet. Set some time after the original Subnautica, Below Zero challenges
you to survive a disaster at an alien research station on Planet 4546B. Craft
tools, scavenge for supplies, and unravel the next chapter in the Subnautica
story.
