What is subnautica-2-release?

This repository presents itself as a PC release of Subnautica 2, described as the sequel to the underwater survival game Subnautica, with an added four player co-op multiplayer mode. The README describes exploring a new alien ocean planet, building underwater bases, crafting equipment, surviving dangerous creatures, and following a story hidden beneath the waves. It lists features such as a large new ocean to explore, an advanced base building system, new creatures, improved survival mechanics, and full controller and keyboard support. Installation instructions tell users to download a zip file from the repository's releases page, extract it, and run the included executable as an administrator on Windows 10 or 11. A troubleshooting table covers common problems including the game failing to start, low frame rates, black screens, crashes on startup, and antivirus software flagging the program, with the suggested fix for the antivirus warning being to add the program's folder to the antivirus exclusion list. Several details in this repository point away from it being a genuine official game release. It is hosted on a personal GitHub account rather than an account belonging to a real game studio, its listed topics include terms unrelated to a legitimate release, and it distributes a Windows executable while directly instructing users to bypass their antivirus protection. As of this writing there is no confirmed, publicly announced Subnautica sequel matching this description from Subnautica's actual developer. Readers should treat this repository as a likely fake or unauthorized release and should not run the installer or disable antivirus protection to do so, and should instead obtain games only through official storefronts.
