Unknown Worlds Entertainment, the developers of this game are currently hiring people for a new game that is not related to Subnautica. One can speculate that it is Natural Selection 3, but I don't think it'll be NS3 since NS2 has still active development and looking at the roadmap and what they do, it wouldn't make much sense to release somewhen NS3.

If i remember right this game was handed to a small group of moders a long time ago and unknown worlds dont actually do anything with it?, would be nice for NS 3 but I doubt it would happend since NS2 failed to gain much traction which is sad

NATURAL SELECTION 1 mod for half life was the best mod ever i made maps for it i knew ken20banks who made ns nothing...........

ns 2 is such a fail.

Such a fail it has an active player base after 8 years. It may not have been subnautica numbers, but not bad at all for any developer.

if the numbers don't show on community hub, it's a fail... active has to be a large enough playerbase where you can meet new people every time you log on, and always have full servers in every region.

Look I love the game dearly. Several thousand hours into the game. But for years now its been largely dead except for the same crew of salty veterans making quite a barrier of entry to new players. Just simply through playing the game with the experience they have.

The game never had a large following and unfortunately the following it had died too soon. In my region, Australia, we get maybe a few games on a single server if we are lucky during peak hours. Otherwise we are stuck on either Asian or US West servers and having to deal with the ping. Even then there are not a lot of active players.

The stats are depressing.

I think UWE made a lot more money off of Subnautica and isn't interested in making anymore violent shooters. I would LOVE to see NS3, but its unlikely to ever happen.

If they did make NS3 I would hope they go back to what made NS1 so fun.

NS2 was actually a big financial success and their next project Subnautica has been the jackpot. I hope they improve and rebrand NS2, and rerelease it. It used to be their plan as well and i hope it is the reason why they still have some members updating this game. Some less clusterfks, more slower paced, more tactical as NS1 would be great.

As the game looks still good nowadays, i am sure rebranding and rereleasing will work fine.

Ive heard rumors that they release NS3 around same time that HL3 is gonna be released

Mandy and Ruri, maybe its fail for you, but I can tell you...We, current players are not the ones missing all the action ;)

If they do make NS3 they better use a proper game engine without the mind warping 'fish eye' distortion and the client/server desync of upto a second between clients causing the old 'round the corner deaths ect' can make a otherwise amazing premise for a game seriously infuriating at times.

I thought I read somewhere that they dont want to make another game with guns because of a shooting in USA, since apparently a game where you shoot aliens is somehow related. Im really hoping they actually make NS3

Maybe they will finally add a 3rd faction to the game, 'the motoss'.

That barrier for entry should be torn down to allow people to just have fun and newbies to feel welcome.

That sounds someone saying the ridiculous "videogames cause violence" claim. Jack Thompson was outright disbarred over his obsession with that falsehood. The lie needs to die.
