Developer Unknown Worlds has taken a new approach to teasing the nextSubnautica. Instead of sending outSubnautica 2screenshots via the usual route, the studio has been teasing players with screenshots hidden in the original tame.
At least it’s true according to a mod at theSubnauticasubreddit. Two weeks ago, a player discovered a Time Capsule collectible with an image and a mysterious message. The image showcased some… odd-looking creature (a staple ofSubnauticagames, to be fair), along with the line: “Hey um, found this on my way to the rocket. Is this thing new? Never seen it before! :O”
Oh, and hashtag PEEPERSRULE. Because they do.

Players speculated that the image could be from the sequel, as the creature and environment didn’t quite match the visuals of the priorSubnauticagames. The moderator, Bumblebee_Tuna, swum on by toconfirm that the image is realand that it’s not the only one.
Two moreSubnautica 2screenshots have been discovered lurking in the deep dark ofSubnautica. Last week, subreddit userJimRice18 shared the three imagescurrently known to the community. From the looks of things, the first image was a pair of colorful fins. Surely, whatever nautical fauna this is must be something majestic and awe-inspiring and…
Truly one of god’s perfect creatures. It could also be some kind of underwater Basilisk from a FromSoftware game, judging by those eyes.
Despite the recent teases,Subnautica 2will still be baking in the oven for a while. Last November, the developer confirmed the sequel won’t arriveuntil an unknown date in 2025. The team went dark for a few months beforereturning to squash any rumorsthatSubnautica 2would be a “games-as-a-service” release. It won’t be, by the way.
