Subnautica 2 development leads have confirmed the team is using zero generative AI across the entire project. All elements, including creature behaviors and systems, are created through traditional hands-on work by the developers themselves using established tools like Unity Blackboard. This way is different from the publisher Krafton which rebranded as an AI-first company last year and provides optional AI resources to its studios But the Subnautica team said no. They think it would mess up their usual work. "No, we're not using generative AI in Subnautica 2 at all. It's all traditional person-done. When we mention AI, it's all traditional: a programmer has physically gone in and done it themselves, like [the] creature AI. We're using Unity Blackboard and things like that. It's basically all hand-done. It's interesting technology, but it's not something we're using at all."
