Not to tell anyone how to play or how to glean enjoyment from said game but that said I fear the 'multi' addition to any single player story driven game. We would love to play that game.īut until then, we're going to finish up Subnautica the way it was meant to be: one person trying to survive in in a massive, dangerous, beautiful, alien world. A game where one person is piloting the sub, another person is poring over readouts and computers, another is repairing the engines and yet another is radioing for help in a dark biome, where their Seamoth is almost out of juice. Maybe one day we'll start over on a different engine and make a new Subnautica game based around coop.
We don't want to spend years more working on Subnautica before v1.0, so we sadly have come to terms with the fact that we won't be adding any kind of multiplayer or coop to the game. Eventually we hit early access and now it would take many man-years to add any kind of multiplayer to Subnautica.
But we had so much to learn about the game, multiplayer was never a priority. We've been getting tons and tons of questions and requests about whether we're going to add multiplayer to Subnautica or not.īack in our early prototypes we always had multiplayer in the back of our mind.
