With early access starting in less than a week, Unknown Worlds Entertainment has released a new trailer for Subnautica 2, highlighting the player’s arrival on a new world. And as you’d expect, it happens in as violent a way as possible. Check out the latest gameplay below.

Once you’ve got your bearings, the usual gameplay loop follows. Break down materials with tools, craft better tools, harvest samples, and then analyze them in your lab. What makes the story special this time is that mysterious tree – that massive structure seen in the cinematic trailer. You’re warned not to go there, which means you’ll absolutely be going there.

The other big change is that you won’t be doing it alone, as Subnautica 2 supports up to four players in co-op. It’s most notable when navigating underwater with vehicles, as some have bars to hang off of and additional seats. Of course, the entire game is still playable solo, but co-op should add even more to the tension.

Subnautica 2 releases in early access on May 14th for PC and Xbox Series X/S. It will also be available on day one for Game Pass. While all the content has yet to be outlined, Unknown Worlds promises “more biomes, creatures and Leviathans” than in the previous games’ early access launches.
