Developer and publisher Unknown Worlds Entertainment has today revealed that its anticipated upcoming sequel Subnautica: Below Zero will launch for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch later this spring, May 15, for $29.99.
Set a year after the events of the first game, Below Zero challenges players to navigate the treacherous waters below the icy surface of Planet 4546B, crafting tools, weapons, vehicles, and a sprawling base along the way.
Twinfinite previewed Below Zero earlier this month and was highly impressed, concluding:
“It feels like a familiar but refreshing Subnautica title, with a known world but an unknown environment. With upgraded tools, creature variety, story, and even added voice acting, it’s worth a playthrough for any fans of the original game.”
The original game has been a tremendous critical and commercial success since launching back in 2014. Earlier this year Twinfinite reported the game’s sales had exceeded over 5 million sales, a figure that doesn’t even include the 4.5 million total downloads during an Epic Store two-week giveaway.

Subnautica Below Zero is coming to PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch on May 14, 2021.
