GaaS Subnautica 2 This Year? [Feb 08, 2024, 12:11 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
GameWatcher translates details from Krafton's financial reporting on plans
for Subnautica 2, the upcoming submerged action sequel from Unknown Worlds. A
report last year said this should be expected in 2025,
but this latest update says the game will launch this year with co-op support as
one of those games as a service that everyone loves so much:
Subnautica 2 is being developed with Unreal Engine 5, adopting a Game as a Service model. Players will explore an "oceanic world in stunning stylized graphics.".
The report indicates that the game will feature a single-player mode, or players can team up with friends for a 4-player co-op session to "uncover the mysteries on an entirely new alien planet."
Subnautica 2 is scheduled for release in 2024. Currently, details are scarce, with no screenshots or gameplay footage available yet.

Some updated info from Unknown Worlds here.
In reference to “Games-as-a-Service,” we simply plan to continually update the game for many years to come, just like the previous two Subnautica games. Think our Early Access update model, expanded. No season passes. No battle passes. No subscription.
I mean how could anyone complain about that right? Except if that was all that matters, then why make it 'live service' at all? Some of us aren't that easily placated. They aren't going to get a pass just by trying to be cute - frequent patches and ongoing support doesn't require it be a live service despite whatever shit they are shoveling.
