Subnautica 2’s Collector Leviathan Terrifies Other Creatures in the Next Big Update

The Leviathan's "new behavior" affects the world around it and could very well be a force to reckon with when the update drops.

Continuing its Voyage to Early Access 2 video series for Subnautica 2, Unknown Worlds Entertainment discussed more details about the Axum and the Colonists. Both are wrapped up in mystery, and it’s up to the player to piece everything together, relying on environmental clues and other notable objects. They may even learn more about what led to the previous Colonists’ downfall (while hopefully avoiding the same fate).

That may or may not compare to what’s changing with the Collector Leviathan. It’s a major force in the new regions, right down to the trenches and tar fields. So when it eventually rolls around, other creatures will actually retreat into the trenches while the Tar Eels seek the fields. As it turns out, you’re not the only one terrified of getting caught.

Subnautica 2’s next early access update doesn’t have a release date, but it’s certainly the biggest yet. The Tadpole gets the Frog Chassis with limbs that provide new abilities; new Biomods are available to experiment with; and your Fins let you Dash. No more needing to free up a Biomod slot. Of course, new biomes dot the new region with new creatures to look forward to, so stay tuned for more details in the coming months.
