Subnautica 2 Biomes Leak: Fan-Favorite Kelp Forest Set to Return, Early Access Launch Expected This Year
The underwater survival game Subnautica 2 is inching closer to its early access release, expected later this year. While official details remain limited, a new leak has given fans an exciting glimpse into what the sequel may have in store—thanks to a sharp-eyed viewer who spotted some revealing filenames in the game’s latest developer vlog.
During a behind-the-scenes video shared by the developers, a Reddit user noticed a list of files in the background that appeared to reference various biomes expected to appear in Subnautica 2. The user shared screenshots and a detailed list online, igniting speculation across the fan community.
According to the leak, the following biomes are possibly included in Subnautica 2:
- Start Zone
- Coral Gardens
- Dolerite Spires (likely a sub-biome of Coral Gardens)
- Graveyard Spires (likely a sub-biome of Coral Gardens)
- Jelly Plateaus
- Kelp Forest
- Overgrown Ruins
- Sparse Plains
- VepZone
- Void
- World Tree
Fans were particularly thrilled about the return of the beloved Kelp Forest, a biome featured in earlier titles. “I need a big and foresty kelp forest. Thank you,” one fan commented. Meanwhile, others expressed curiosity over new and mysterious names like Overgrown Ruins, World Tree, and Void, sparking questions about their narrative and visual elements.
One user speculated, “Overgrown Ruins is intriguing. Ruins of what? The precursors’ stuff? Old human stuff? Something else?”
It’s important to note that this may not represent the complete list of biomes. The final release could introduce additional areas or rename some of the ones mentioned. Until then, fans eagerly await more official updates as the early access launch draws near.
