On the eve of Subnautica 2's early access launch, calling it hotly anticipated would be a wild understatement. It's Steam's most-wanted game, as over 5 million users have added it to their wishlist in the run-up to launch. The masses yearn for the deep.

Despite the high-stakes hype, Subnautica 2's developers at Unknown Worlds say they're confident that they're setting a new watermark for the studio. In an interview with PC Gamer, Unknown Worlds game design lead Anthony Gallegos and creative media producer Scott MacDonald said Subnautica 2 should be the studio's most impressive early access launch to date—but they're just as excited for the dirty work of building out its future updates with the help of community input.
