Subnautica 3 Early Access News Coming In 2024

thegamer.com:

A new Subnautica game was leaked this November, having been spotted in a financial report before it could be officially unveiled. Now, developer Unknown Worlds has confirmed that Subnautica 3 is on the way, and that we might not have to wait too much longer for some news on the project.

In a short message, the devs say they're aware that fans want more information, and that they will be able to share more in the new year. More specifically, we're told that details on the game's early access period will be shared in 2024, with the game previously listed as launching in early 2025.

This doesn't mean that early access will kick off in 2024. In fact, the financial report that first gave us news of another Subnauica game in the first place listed it as launching in early 2025. However, that could refer to its full release, with early access perhaps kicking off sometime before this - possibly even in 2024.

We don't have a trailer for the new Subnautica game just yet, but this isn't too surprising, given that the game's existence was revealed in a financial report.

So, with this in mind, it would make more sense for early 2025 to be the early access release date, a year or so before the full launch.

Other than this recent confirmation that it will also be released in early
