A time capsule is a boxful of objects from today’s world, buried or otherwise hidden away so that people from the future can rediscover and understand current Hot Trends such as wearing mismatched socks or electing washed-up businessmen with fascist tendencies. Unless, that is, it’s a time capsule in sci-fi oceansurvivalgameSubnautica, in which case it contains: THE FUTURE. Developers Unknown Worlds have been sneaking pictures of the forthcomingSubnautica 2into the original game’s time capsules, offering glimpses of its flora and fauna.

Here is what we know about Subnautica 2.It’s not a full-blown live service thingy with any battle pass or subscription nonsense, despite ambiguous language in publisher Krafton’s press materials, though it will receive continual updates. It’s a direct sequel to Subnautica, unlike 2021’s Below Zero spin-off. Here is one of many things I want: an alternative tech tree which is about symbiotic relationships with other creatures. Perhaps we could graft structures harmlessly to peaceful leviathans? Anyway, please sing out on here if you stumble on any portentous capsules in your game - I am hungrier for details than a Reaper is for Seamoths.
