Subnautica sequel

[Memorex]

Will there be a Subnautica 2 ?

Below Zero is like stand alone expansion

will there be more expansions or developers are tired of this and want to make something entirely new ?

[Ender's games]

Below Zero is Subnautica 2. It's based in the same world and continues the story of Subnautica.

[Dirak2012]

Below Zero was meant to be a dlc, but it turned out so big that they decided that it would be Subnautica 2 instead.

it is not Subnautica 2, how in the world can a seuqel be 1/6th of the 1st game ?
sequels are bigger than previous installments.

I am asking if developers hinted that they are doing Subnautica sequel ?

Below Zero is the sequel, through and through. It might not fit your definition of a sequel but it's still Subnautica 2

That's not what a sequel is...

Like it or not, Below Zero is the sequel of Subnautica.
BZ is still being worked on, and the devs have not hinted at anything like your weird definition of sequel.

Even if they were secretly working on it, it would take at least 6 years or so.

The devs put most all of their energy and creativity into the first SubNautica.

I have no clue what the devs are planning, but the main story with the player character in Subnautica is complete. I'd be surprised to see him in a direct sequel. I would figure any sequels would be more like Below Zero. With that said, it's tough to keep inventing reasons for humans to return to this same planet without it seeming contrived.

UWE could also make a prequel where you play as the pre-cursor aliens, but not sure how interesting that would be.

I'd assume Ryley retired or died in orbit or went into the great beyond, never to be heard from again

nah i don't need to play same character, i mean sequel as a full on upgrade giant map maybe 10x larger than Subnautica with 10,000+ meter depths and way more exploration :D and just keep expanding sea biomes with DLC's

Like Euro Truck Simulator 2 they keep expanding map that's what i wish for Subnautica 2 after its release keep adding more sea worlds

Bigger is not better. Every corner of the map in Subnautica was carefully handcrafted with a purpose and logic behind it, you can't do that with a map several times larger unless they start using procedural generation or something like that.
I wouldn't like to see the quality of the map dropping in exchange for pure size.

procedural generation is very bad, maps look unnatural and ugly i had experience with no man sky.

Hand crafted maps i always prefer more. I hope next game will be bigger and designed in a way it can be expanded with DLC's and expansions.

I’d rather they don’t go the whole DLC add content path

That idea is stupid

idea is not stupid and it's proven many times in multitude of games (Euro Truck Simulator, Path of Exile, No Man's Sky, Minecraft, Warframe, etc...)

Maybe choose words like
"i don't like the idea"

Have you ever took the time to hand-craft a multi-mile map?

no it is stupid

you force your customers to purchase DLC for content

DLC should only be cosmetic and have zero functional impact or additions to the game
