The core focus of Worlds Part II was to transform underwater locations entirely. Previously, oceans and lakes lacked the allure to captivate players' attention. With the update, the developers have deepened the oceans, introducing eternal darkness and intense pressure, making survival a challenging yet thrilling experience. Special suit modules and a pressure level indicator enhance the diving experience.

The underwater environment is no longer shrouded in complete darkness; bioluminescent flora and fauna now light up the depths, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. The lighting in shallow waters has also been revamped, adding to the visual splendor.

With these enhancements, building underwater bases is now more rewarding, offering gameplay experiences reminiscent of Subnautica.

New Planets

The update also introduces hundreds of new star systems, including unique purple star systems. These systems feature new oceanic planets and gas giants, expanding the universe's diversity.

Accessing these systems requires completing the storyline and acquiring a new type of engine. The reward is well worth it, as these systems contain some of the best resources available. Gas giants in the game, much like their real-life counterparts, have a rocky core, but here, players can land and explore amidst constant storms, lightning, radiation, and high temperatures.
