The Lost Aliens of Subnautica (ft. Alex Ries)

Subnautica could have contained even more incredible lifeforms. Discover numerous cut creatures designed by Alex Ries and explore their unique biology. Many of the speculative creatures that swim in the seas of Planet 4546 B started off as the idea of Alex Ries (the creator of the Birrin), going through multiple iterations of concept art to arrive at the awe-inspiring final designs we see in game. Yet there’s a lot of incredible art of unique speculative lifeforms that — for one reason or another — never made it into the final product. Not implementing all designs from early development stages is a normal part of behind-the-scenes, but some of these designs are so well thought-out, they deserve to be studied further. So, for this entry into the archive, we’ll explore the incredible unseen creatures of Subnautica, exploring their potential biology and how they might fit into the existing environments of Planet 4546B.
