Good morning all. I am Donya, Community Manager at Unknown Worlds. We were thrilled to be included in the State of the Play for PlayStation and showcase some of the incredible work the team has been doing on Subnautica: Sub Zero to get it ready to launch on PS4 and PS5 on May 14th.
The sequel to the award-winning Subnautica, Below Zero immerses even the bravest of explorers into an underwater world, filled with all new and vast biomes to explore and mysterious and unknown creatures lurking deep within the planet. As you continue to investigate the mysterious circumstances that brought you to the planet, you will be challenged to survive the harsh Arctic conditions, as well as avoid the looming threat of discovery by Alterra, which has all but abandoned the 4546B. in his haste to evacuate. .
With all new tools and vehicles to craft and lovingly crafted biomes to marvel at, Below Zero offers a unique spin on the familiar setting of the ruthless planet of Subnautica. Players can expect additional cold mechanics to explore, creatures large and small to discover – and in some cases avoid – and much more lore of the Subnautica universe to uncover.
As announced during State of Play, we’ve been hard at work using the PS5 DualSense controller for Below Zero. With the haptic feedback system, you will receive visual and audio cues related to key moments in the game, or when using tools and vehicles. We’re excited that you try Below Zero with this additional integration, which has improved some already terrifying and tense moments!
We’ve also heard all of your queries and questions on the upgrade path for players who already own the first Subnautica on PS4. We’re happy to confirm that if you own a physical or digital edition of the game, you can upgrade to the digital PS5 version at no additional cost. Likewise, those who buy Below Zero on PS4 will be able to upgrade to the PS5 version for free. *
As always, we want to thank you, our amazing community, for your feedback and enthusiasm as we prepare for the launch of Below Zero. We can’t wait for you all to play and experience the adventure.
You can Pre-order Sub Zero for PS4 and PS5 today for $ 29.99 USD. Below Zero will launch on both platforms on May 14.
* To upgrade your PS4 ™ disc version of the game to the PS5 ™ digital version, you need a PS5 console with disc player.
