The Subnautica universe will always carry a bit of Tom’s spirit, humor, and imagination. Tom’s brain was responsible for much of what fans know and love about the Subnautica universe fiction and lore, and we will miss having him around.
Based on feedback from the community and playing the game ourselves, we realized that some changes to the story needed to happen.Īs some of our dedicated fans may have noticed, our writer Tom Jubert recently left Below Zero to pursue other projects. We want our players to care about the characters and what happens to them. We’ve had trouble defining our characters’ motivations clearly and building key relationships.
We like doing things that are big and ambitious at Unknown Worlds, but we managed to get a bit stuck. Our initial attempts at nailing down a living story about a scientist who meets a sentient alien – in the context of a game that was built around survival mechanics – have been a bit messy. When we decided to make another Subnautica game, we agreed that making a game with a “living” story – featuring a speaking protagonist and other active speaking characters – would be a really interesting way to differentiate Below Zero from the original game. It will take a fair bit of iteration and polish and careful attention to what’s currently there to pull everything together and make the final game feel truly special.ĭespite our best efforts, we’re not exactly where we want to be, particularly when it comes to the story. Everything’s in place, but that doesn’t mean it all quite works in harmony. Except for the endgame, the entire Below Zero experience should be playable the world is all there for you to explore, all the new features and tools and creatures are present.
