Future Subnautica plot idea
The protagonist suffers a problem in a new fast than light travel technology test over Earth. The accident results in the protagonist being sent back in time to the Cretaceous period, in the middle of the early pacific ocean. The dangerous fauna could be Mosasaurus, large sharks, giant shelled squid, Pterosaurs, giant carnivorous fish, sea reptiles of many sizes.
The environments could easily provide plenty of thalassophobic triggering suspense. It could also be a very beautiful environment that can educate and inspire people into science and protecting the ocean we have now.

Not sure if I like that setting.

Earth is great. But a big part of Subnautica is the alien lifeforms. Creatures that are in no way realistic but still beautiful and interesting. It gives the player the experience to see things for the first time and it gives the developers total freedom.

Swimming around between mosasaurs, megalodons and plesiosaurus is not as interesting or unique since it's a setting we already know from movies and other video games like ARK.

Frankly i'd like to see the franchise move into space but that would be a hard sell.
We know the Seamoth and Prawn Suit are space capable craft so they'd both be suitable to return.

Problem is the setting, I think we've pretty much bled 4546B dry of interesting content so I don't want the next game to take us back there again.

An Oxygen Not Included setup where you've got a bunch of asteroids/planetoids close together that somehow have watery, life-filled interiors would be kind of interesting.
