This looks amazing!

We cannot wait to be terrified and exploring the depths, possibly in multiplayer this time (if the trailer is anything to go by).

personally, i wanna go in blind when playing this. i want to piss my drawers when i see giant tentacles on my ship

That's fair, you don't have to know.

Also just to let you know, using 'blind' like that is ableist. It's better to use something like "ignorant" or "not knowing/lacking knowledge" etc.

I really hope it's going to be closer to the original than Below Zero.

I liked Below Zero but it wasn't able to instill the same feeling of dread and anxiety that Subnautica could. Below Zero felt a lot more "child-friendly".

And for the love of god: Get that Sea Truck out of my sights. I want my Cyclops back!

Below Zero had far less open ocean, and far less just inky blackness. Plus I think if you played the original, you have an idea of what to expect. Nothing compares to dread of seeing a Leviathan come up from total darkness in the first one.

I didn't see it until its tentacles had already engulfed my little submersible. I screamed like a little girl and didn't touch the game again for weeks. No other game has ever managed to scare me like this.

For sure one of the scariest moments in a video game.

I love both Subnauticas, but there are really only 2.5 things this tells us:

  1. Giant hermit crabs exist

  2. Likely multiplayer

2.5. Maybe giant squids?

I am super excited either way

Yeah, sadly that is what teaser trailers do.

I do trust them to make it good based on their previous work.

It's co-op, that's been confirmed for a while. Unfortunately the rest of the details so far only exist in a Discord chat. Woo...

Some{one/many} should free those details.

Devs should be recording the questions they answer and then put it all in a blog post.
