It looks like Unknown Worlds is posting sneaky screenshots of Subnautica 2 in the original game. Whilst Unknown Worlds …
The title makes it seem like they're putting these pics on the Steam page. Or at least that's what it seemed like to me.
But they're actually sneaking these pictures into these capsules you can find in the game. Normally these capsules have screenshots from other players' games. Now players have found screenshots that are from the sequel (presumably). That's really cool!
Wow. I'm a little afraid to get my hopes up for it turning out as good as the original, but I admit I'm excited to hear this.
Edit: Found a note from the developers:

I haven't checked in a while, so they may have walked back on this, but supposedly we finally get coop in the next one.
I liked BZ, but I LOVED the original. The original is an 8/10 for me, and BZ is a 6/10 (not in shitty game reviewer numbers, for me a 5/10 is a game I thought was fun to play. And 8/10 is insanely good and almost no games get a 10.)
I’m interested to see what they do next!
Don't get too excited. The studio was been acquired by the publisher of PUBG, and their stated plans are to release subnautica 2 as a live service game with possible coop. I don't think subnautica 2 is going to be anything like what you're expecting. They've CLAIMED there will be no subscriptions or anything similar, but they've been conspicuously silent on microtransactions.
Well I assumed since you were gonna tell him. Also better teach him to swim the other way if he ever sees a button with the letters "BUY" on it.
Unknown Worlds Entertainment is currently making another Subnautica game. They are publicly referring to it as "Subnautica 2." So apparently they consider Below Zero to be a standalone expansion to Subnautica a bit like Half-Life: Opposing Force rather than a full sequel.
A few things that I have heard the developers confirm about this new game:
They're playing a lot of details close to the chest for now, very few gameplay or story concepts have been discussed. It is very likely going to be an ocean survival game with a nonzero chance of having your submarine bitten off by a 300 foot scream eel.
BZ was never Subnautica 2. It was a spinoff produced by a different team. It was originally supposed to be an expansion for the first game, but it got big enough they decided to release it standalone.

Does anyone have an alternative source where we can view the screenshots?
It’s all from Reddit originally,
Keep expectations tempered. Krafton now owns them. They specialize in free to play overly monetized crap
I liked Subnautica 1 but I feel like it took me way too long to find a few key blueprints and I'm not sure if it's because the game is designed weird or if I just couldn't find them.
Dang, I just finished playing this about a week ago. Wish I could have found something, but I didn't find very many time capsules.
