Subnautica and its sequel are launching on Nintendo Switch next year

One of the more popular indie survival games on PC and consoles is finally coming to Switch. Subnautica is launching on Nintendo’s hybrid home/handheld system in 2021. Developer Unknown Worlds Entertainment is also planning to launch the sequel, Subnautica: Below Zero, on Switch next year as well.

In Subnautica, players end up marooned on a hostile ocean planet called 4546B. To survive, the player must dive under the ocean to collect resources. The idea is to upgrade your gear to go further and further in each subsequent dive. But players must also worry about managing food, water, and oxygen, which adds a layer of risk to every excursion.
