Add a big cannon, better a whole palette of them, and take Mechwarrior as an inspiration. Only less human.

I feel like they just cut the head off of SOMA at the end, there was no buildup for a second game or story.

Man, you got some strong expression Polish word as your nickname. You aware of that?

Regarding SOMA, at least that makes it a complete production.

Actually they could continue the story as Simon being left and finding a way to the surface, only to see the terrifying experience happening on earth.

I agree that there wasn't much left to create a sequel with, but I would enjoy playing a second game that shows what happened to the Robo-Simon left on Earth. Having to leave the pilot chair and make his way out completely alone, in a place shutting down into darkness, could make a pretty scary game, especially if he somehow made it to the ruined surface.

I really really really hope they will make SOMA 2 because SOMA was so scary much more scary than amnesia and SOMA is the best horror game I have ever played and I love SOMA so much

yea i loved the whole sci fi cyberpunk horror instead of the more traditional victorian era horror games

What if the ark is intercepted by a human (or alien) station (or planet) and the scans are copied into new hosts? I'm sure we will have a colony in space somewhere in 90 years if we were able to colonize the sea floor.
OR
Simon 3 finds a way to scale the space gun and finds a maintenance vessel docked on it, and sails away to find survivors (stereotypical distress beacon perhaps?).
OR
The setting is a survivors' bunker somewhere on the surface....

There are several ways the story could arc over to a sequel.

Why is the WAU unique? It's probably NOT. They would be silly to put the ONLY prototype on the bottom of the ocean in the crush zone. The WAU in Alpha is obviously a single prototype, in testing.

The rest of the WAU instances would be in a bunker somewhere, right? And probably get the same kind of instruction, and given access to structure gel, would do... something. Sure, the comet tossed around some earthquakes and tidal waves, but if even a little geothermal plant survived, a WAU could reconstruct solar power, rebuild more channels for geothermal, and continue doing... things. Right?
