For now, we’ll just have to wait and… sea. We’ll probably be waiting a while before we hear any more on a Subnautica follow-up. That started off as an expansion, before it became a full sequel. Follow-up Subnautica: Below Zero took things to more frosty climes, mixing in some land-based action to boot. Of course, the big twist is that the game takes place almost entirely underwater. Similar to other survival games, they’ll have to forage, hunt and craft while trying not to become lunch for the local wildlife. In case you’re not familiar, Subnautica tasks players with surviving on an oceanic planet. They also note they’d like someone who’s comfortable with live development, which again tracks with the first two games as they spent a good while in early access before their releases proper. The team are after someone with familiarity with an open world game, and who is passionate about speculative science fiction. The job specifications seem to imply it’ll follow a similar path to the original and its sequel Subnautica: Below Zero. Obviously, there’s little detail at this early stage. The potential applicant has the chance to work with the team “to tell compelling, dramatic stories in the context of the game experience.” They also will be helping to “establish the narrative direction for a beloved franchise.”
