20 Most Anticipated Video Games Of 2026
9. Subnautica 2
Subnautica 2 Release Date: TBD, 2026
2018's seafaring survival game Subnautica was a major breath of fresh air in the open world space, with its rich, teeming world to explore and, yes, how keenly it exploited our collective thalassophobia.
Subnautica 2 seems to be offering more of the same but, well, more. It takes place on a new planet where players can explore a variety of biomes, discover new creatures, and navigate the depths with a new vehicle.
A few big changes are coming, though - for one, a mechanic cut from the original game, where players can use alien DNA to modify their own abilities, will be included.
Also in a first for the series, co-op support is included for up to four players, adding a communal element to those creepy dives down to the ocean deep.
Though some serious development hurdles have been brought to light in recent months, hopefully this hugely anticipated sequel will ultimately come up swimmingly.
