If you're one of the many Subnautica fans eagerly awaiting the release of its long-awaited sequel, 'Below Zero,' be prepared for some potentially bad news. According to recent announcements from developer Unknown Worlds, a price increase is on the horizon for this highly anticipated title.

The exact date hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but based on past experiences with similar games in development hell (looking at you, Star Citizen!), it's safe bet that Subnautica: Below Zero will hit store shelves (or rather, digital storefronts) around January 5th of next year. This means anyone planning to dive headfirst into this underwater survival adventure better act fast before prices skyrocket.

So what exactly can we expect from Subnautica: Below Zero? Well, according to the developer's own words, 'The final version will likely add new content' compared to earlier builds. While they don't go into specifics about just how much additional material players can look forward to enjoying post-launch (think DLCs or major updates), it's always nice knowing there'll be more reasons to keep coming back for more.

As far as the actual gameplay goes, rest assured that Subnautica: Below Zero promises all of what we've come to love and expect from this critically-acclaimed franchise. Expect vast oceanic environments teeming with alien life forms waiting to either befuddle or devour you; intricate crafting systems allowing players complete creative freedom over their underwater base-of-operations; challenging survival mechanics that will test even the most resourceful explorers among us...and much more!

As for platforms, don't worry: Subnautica: Below Zero is set to hit PC (via Steam), Mac via Epic Games Store) as well as Nintendo Switch, PS4/PS5, Xbox One/Xbox Series X/S on launch day itself. Yes folks - all major current-gen consoles are getting love here!

And speaking of price points...according to recent statements from Unknown Worlds themselves, Subnautica: Below Zero will retail at a pretty competitive $29.99 upon release across ALL aforementioned platforms (physical copies included). That's right folks; for less than thirty bucks you can experience one heckuva good ol' fashioned sci-fi survival romp!

So mark your calendars down now everyone! With its combination of deep gameplay mechanics, richly detailed environments and an impending price hike on the horizon - there couldn't be a better time to dive headfirst into Subnautica: Below Zero than when it finally hits store shelves later this month...
