Hi everyone,

Narrative Designer Jill here. As you know, we’re changing the story for Subnautica: Below Zero. I wanted to give you an idea of what goes into this process.

First, the basic requirements:

• Our narrative since Subnautica has been delivered primarily by breaking the story into dozens of fragments and scattering them around the ocean floor.

• In Subnautica: Below Zero, Robin is a speaking player protagonist with a lot to think and say compared to Ryley in Subnautica. In addition to a detailed personality and working inner-life, she needs a character arc that will develop as players play.

Hey Below Zero fans!  Hope you are enjoying the Lost Ship update!

We’ve got lots of big changes coming soon to Early Access and wanted to give a quick heads-up before they start rolling in.

And in the skies far above Planet 4546B, if you are lucky, you can encounter the unique and incredible phenomenon of the Aurora Borealis.

• Explore the mysterious Crashed Ship
• Interact with the playful Trivalve
• Uncover the perilous Brinicles
• Descend into the shadowy depths of Deep Lilypads

Hey everybody!

People have been asking us what our plans are for Below Zero on consoles, and I’d like to expand a little on what has been happening on that front since my roadmap post in July!  

We are planning to ship Below Zero on Xbox One and PS4. Our goal is to ship simultaneously with PC v1.0, but it’s probably too soon to know if that’s realistic. We have more work to do to make Below Zero as good as it can be before releasing it on any platform.

Behind the scenes, we’ve been working to improve our console efforts in-house. We learned a lot from the process of taking Subnautica to Xbox and PS4 (with …
