Developer Unknown Worlds has announced that Below Zero, the ice-themed standalone expansion for superb underwater exploration adventure Subnautica, is entering Steam early access next week, on January 30th.
Below Zero was announced last August and is described as a “new chapter” in the Subnautica story, unfolding across a previously unseen, ice-bound region of ocean planet 4546B.
At the time of the reveal, Unknown Worlds confirmed that Below Zero’s development approach would be similar to that of Subnautica’s base game, and that it would be “carefully crafting” the new experience based on player feedback during a period of early access.
