The Kharaa killed most life on 4546B, and the rest was forced to rapidly evolve. The Precursors realised that they couldn't stay safely in such an environment and fled, declaring a worldwide quarantine and leaving behind a giant gun turret called the Quarantine Enforcement Platform, designed to automatically shoot down any ships entering or leaving the atmosphere, all in an attempt to prevent the Kharaa from spreading further than it already had. The facility was damaged and Kharaa was released into 4546B's oceans, effectively contaminating the world. Emperor Leviathans were peaceful, intelligent creatures, but Dragon Leviathans were massive, deadly hunters, and the egg's parent attacked the Disease Research Facility in a furious attempt to get its child back. Realising their mistake, the Precursors tried a new tactic, this time stealing an egg from a similar species called the Sea Dragon Leviathan, hoping it would be genetically close enough to provide the cure they needed. The Dragon Attack and the Release of the Kharaa They tried to force two of the eggs to hatch prematurely, hoping to harvest a fresh supply of the drug, but only killed the embryos in the process, unable to hear the telepathic pleas of the Emperor telling them that this wouldn't work and that the eggs couldn't hatch on command like they wanted. Its old age meant that the Enzyme 42 it produced wasn't potent enough to actually cure them of the Kharaa, only mitigate its effects for a while. Unfortunately for the Precursors, the Emperor Leviathan they kidnapped couldn't help them.
| Unknown Worlds Entertainment The Failed Experiment and the Leviathan's Eggs The Precursors landed on Planet 4546B and built numerous structures to research and cure the Kharaa.
The Precursors trapped a female Emperor in a building called the Primary Containment Facility, and stole seven of her eggs for experimentation, hoping to extract this precious enzyme. The largest lifeform on that world, a huge telepathic species called the Sea Emperor Leviathans, produced a chemical called Enzyme 42 that effectively made them immune to the deadly Kharaa. The Precursors eventually struck gold when researching an ocean world we'd come to know as Planet 4546B. Planet 4546B and the Sea Emperor Leviathan Desperate for a cure, the Precursors spread across the galaxy, researching different life forms in the hope of finding some basis for a cure or vaccine. Roughly a thousand years ago, an alien species called the Precursors were exploring various worlds when they contracted a bacterial disease called Kharaa which caused them to sicken and die. Consequently, the major players are never even seen or heard from, even though they set so much in motion. However, we'd like Unknown Worlds not to repeat mistakes made with the buggy original game, and give us the considered quality we already know they can produce.Most of Subnautica's plot actually happens before you get there, a background mystery that reveals itself as you explore and interact with its wide, weird world.
SUBNAUTICA CREATURES FULL
The full release is slated for the first half of 2019, with some kind of early access this year. Subnautica: Below Zero - designs for a new underwater foe, the Brinewing. Other potential threats include the Brinewing - which even if not that dangerous to a player with an ounce of awareness will certainly bring a new meaning to getting salty. Then there are some other delights, such as cutesy-wootsy lickle arctic space penguins which, upon closer inspection, seem guaranteed to slice your foot off, leaving the player to make interesting blood patterns on the ice. Subnautica: Below Zero - design for a hover bike. Like true Subnautica fanboys that we are, we don't really want to know until we get to play. Of course, all the bits, pieces, creatures and environments don't tell us much about the story - and that's pretty key as far as we're concerned. Other temptations, such as a hover bike we're all going to be scooting across the frozen surface of planet 4546B on are there. The sounds would of course be appropriately filtered depending the substance they are spreading through. This seems to involve uploading your own music, with the possible facility to play your tunes outside and underwater. On it, you can find such gems as the proposal for and implementation of an Let's not get carried away, right? But do look at the breaching this horned monster does on the surface - that's a mighty leap.īoard Unknown Worlds Entertainment has kindly made available to us all is a small but treasured pastime. That may change of course.ĭifferent character breathing is apparent in the video, although that could well be some placeholder stuff.
The video above shows the massive Glow Whale, and he/she/it doesn't appear too belligerent right now. You wanted some big sea beasts in the upcoming Subnautica: Below Zero? Unknown Worlds have you covered.
