We've known that Subnautica 2 was in the works for some time now, with the official . And now, almost a year later, we've finally got to see the for the upcoming sequel.

Shown at the Xbox Partner Preview event last night, alongside games like and , Subnautica 2 gave players a brief look at the underwater world alongside confirmation that early access will launch in 2025.

The trailer starts with a young explorer collecting data under the waves. Everything looks peaceful until the rock he's studying suddenly stands up to reveal itself as a giant crab, knocking the diver down into a black abyss. After blacking out, the explorer wakes up to find that he's low on oxygen—before things get too bad, another scientist appears in a Seamoth to rescue him.

Some players are asking if two researchers working together means there's going to be co-op in the sequel. "It looks like we finally get to dive with friends," one . While it's true that , this was actually confirmed a while ago during an earlier this year.

But just before the second scientist can actually save the day, a terrifying beast emerges from the dark background, resembling a ghost leviathan. This creature is probably something entirely new, but it looks just as big as a leviathan, so whatever it is, it's likely bad news.

As for all the other creatures rummy win shown in the trailer, we see a new colourful fish swim around a coral reef (unfortunately not the one that ), as well as a bigger animal, a giant crab. Although only appearing briefly, this crustacean seems to have stolen the show.

"Giant CRABS!!!" one . "Why is no one talking about the giant CRABSSS!!!! CARSINISATION IS CANNON [sic] TO SUBNAUTICA!!!!" There are actually a few crustaceans already in Subnautica, like cave crawlers or yono all app rockpunchers, proving that Carsinisation is the ultimate form of evolution even in Subnautica. But people to find out more crustaceans are joining the club: "More big ol crabs hype woooo."

Otherwise, most players are just happy to have confirmation of a new Subnautica game. "There's often the question - what game do you wish you could experience for the first time again, with Subnautica being my #1 answer," another . "Even if there are biomes with nothing in it, even if there are areas with no blueprints, I still can't wait to explore every inch of the map purely for the sense of adventuring in what otherwise feels like a living, breathing world."
