Subnautica 2 Confirms Mid-May Early Access Launch

After all sorts of teases and legal issues, Subnautica 2 has finally been given an Early Access release date, as the game arrives this May

Unknown Worlds announced this week that they finally have an Early Access release date for Subnautica 2, as the game will arrive in mid-May. The game has had a rocky road with a few years of development, and the ugliness of a court proceeding that's probably never going to end. But as far as the game's release is concerned, the devs are about to take a major step for the title as it will launch an Early Access version while they continue to work on it. You can check out the new cinemative trailer here, along with more info from the devs, as the EA version arrives on May 14, 2026, on PC via Steam.
