YOU GUYS ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE WHAT JUST DROPPED FROM THE MISFITS ATTIC FRONT! One of Subnautica 2's former creative directors is building their own world and it's going to be incredible. They just announced Duskers 2.0 — the follow-up to that atmospheric ship scavenger you probably remember from Everteamed a few years back. The first game was already insane, with over 135k positive reviews on Steam alone for an indie horror title. That kind of word-of-mouth is rare and tells you everything about what this team can do before we've even seen the sequel trailer.
The new entry is ambitiouser than anything I've played in a while, honestly. Duskers 2.0 adds full co-op for up to four players — so squad scavenging instead of lonely wandering — plus colony management where you build settlements on each planet you salvage. There's a fully dynamic destruction system with physics-based panel breakage and real lighting that reacts as the ships come apart, which is going to be insane in low light. You also get five distinct planets (Aurora Nova, Eris V, Stygis II, etc.), each with its own hazards and atmospheric look, plus interactable ship interiors instead of empty hulls. Seriously — this team already delivered a cult classic indie horror title and they're doubling down on the sequel. I'm calling it now: Duskers 2 will be one of those rare sequels that actually exceeds the original.
