I’m making this thread because as below zero gets closer to release, I keep finding myself thinking “where does the franchise go from here” and so I wanted to both present my idea and and give the community a place to discuss their ideas for where they’d like to see the franchise go, anything from creatures to gameplay, to plot ideas. Let’s give the devs something to work with!
That being said this is my idea for what I’d like to see next on planet 4546B
Subnautica: Dark waters
An Altera research team has been sent to investigate a newly discovered precursor facility located in the void, unlike other facilities on the planet this one named “site omega” is practically a City protected from colossal leviathans in the Void by a large forcefield, it rapidly becomes apparent that this facility was designed in desperation by the precursors to manufacture new species in a hope to replicate the enzyme they were unable to extract from the emperor species, making the entire facility a sort of huge zoo of genetic anomalies. While working with your team to recover and study whatever alien technology was left behind, something cuts the power to the barrier leading to one of the colossal leviathans outside to damage the structure which rapidly begins flooding resulting in the manufactured leviathans escaping their tanks into the now flooded sections. You would either play a character on the surface trying to find a way to save the research team, in a more classical subnautica style of gameplay, or if the game were to lean more into the horror element you would be a member of the trapped team trying to find a way to the surface so you can call for help.

I call this the Saber Camo Leviathan and I drew it on paper. The markings and sting point are green, the non markings are black, and the eyes are red as you can see at the top here.
so its about the a cuddle fish going deeper in a cave becouse of a blast from the neptune | rocket
I had a similar Idea to how the game could continue because it either continues where below zero left off but probably not or it goes into the void, I figured they could have a ship land around the crater but miss and sink into the void and when it hits the bottom at about 26K meters deep you start in the ship where you can breath and can leave it to explore a dark world lit up by the fauna and flora. I also figured the reapers could come back as ghost reapers and be translucent and able to turn of their body lights till they attack. The idea of black in front of you then suddenly a reaper lights up and attacks you with a sudden loud roar? scary.
Perhaps they could make a ecosystem game where you create your own creatures and world using subnautica designs, and they can take what players make and use them for future games. Makes it easier for them and cheaper and the fans get a new game to mess around with and be creative.
A hot and humid planet that is constantly cloudy and raining on the surface of the planet. Surface atmosphere is so dense, you have to keep a rebreather on even when leaving the water. Your only source of Oxygen is the terrain and your bases. Most all light is artifical or yielded from creatures or from lightning strikes above the water's surface.
This gives way for things like the angler fish, which could be utterly terrifying.
That would be sick. I'd love to see something like that.
