Magic Design Studios and publisher Arc Games have revealed NAUTUS, a cooperative island adventure game that blends underwater exploration with surface survival. Players who enjoy building outposts and managing resources in a shared world will find a new title launching in the coming years. The game focuses on teamwork, allowing friends to tackle challenges together rather than alone.
Magic Design Studios reveals submarine exploration title
NAUTUS centers on an upgradable submarine that serves as the primary vessel for deep-sea exploration. Players can dive into the ocean depths to gather resources and discover secrets before returning to the surface. The surface serves as the base for crafting and building a permanent outpost, creating a loop between the sea and the land.
The game supports both solo play and online cooperative multiplayer for up to four players. This flexibility allows individuals to explore at their own pace or coordinate strategies with a small team. The cooperative mode encourages players to divide tasks between submarine piloting and surface construction.
NAUTUS is scheduled for an Early Access release on PC via Steam in 2027. This timeline gives developers time to refine the underwater mechanics and surface crafting systems before a full launch. Players interested in the genre can mark their calendars for a 2027 debut on the Steam platform.
