We were delighted with the game in our impressions. Kalina suggests it may be something the team returns to later, but for where VR is and the time it would have taken to put VR in, the team decided it was something they’d have to cut from the Day One build, not that Subnautica: Below Zero is any worse for wear from it. Eventually the team dropped effort on VR support before launch to focus on building out the features of the core experience and making sure Below Zero was everything it should be. Originally, there was VR support planned for the game, but a big look back at the effort it took to put VR in the original, plus the fact that Below Zero evolved from DLC into a full blown sequel, made it less feasible. VR support in Below Zero fell into a similar category. Unknown Worlds actually sat down as a team and played the Nitrox multiplayer mod for the original Subnautica and was impressed, claiming it could be a direction for “future work.” Even so, Kalina doesn’t want to build up expectations just yet for something that would take time to adapt and balance in the game. That said, the team has heard the request loud and clear. The team built it a certain way and, according to Kalina, it would have felt wrong to slap co-op in retroactively and without thought. Subnautica: Below Zero is a very neatly crafted experience. Having recently launched Subnautica: Below Zero, we caught up to Unknown Worlds Entertainment’s David Kalina to talk about Below Zero, as well as the possibility, challenge, and future of official co-op and VR support in the game.įor Kalina and the team, co-op couldn’t just be a thing they mashed into the game.

While we are not working on multiplayer, you can be sure that we are working on all sorts of great stuff. In this shift, the role of massively multiplayer online games (MMOs) is significant, as they have long. We have to be honest about this: “we’re not working on multiplayer right now” means there is zero, nada, zilch, absolutely no possibility of multiplayer any time in the short or medium term. like Subnautica, Final Fantasy XIV and Overwatch. If the team consensus moves, we will keep you updated. That’s Subnautica multiplayer as it stands today. Maybe before v1.0 we’ll figure out a way to hire another team to help us with networking, or maybe we’ll release a new version of the game later that supports co-op (like Klei did with “Don’t Starve Together”).” The most important thing is to make sure the exploration, crafting and creature experience is working well. So we’re not sure what we’re going to do, but we’re not working on multiplayer right now. If our small team decided to add multiplayer right now, we probably wouldn’t be able to improve any other aspect of the game for a very long time. We almost have to start over from the beginning, as it affects everything. Now we find ourselves in a difficult situation: we all really want co-op player, but adding it would take us many months of work. However, as we started to develop the game, we skipped multiplayer to be able to release the game faster. ![]() In fact, the game was originally conceived of as a co-op experience. “Adding multiplayer support to Subnautica is something we would love to do. This is Charlie’s take on the current status of multiplayer in Subnautica: Every day, several threads pop up on the Steam and Unknown Worlds Subnautica forums asking: “When will Subnautica get multiplayer?.” Subnautica multiplayer is a question of Cyclops-sized proportions.
