Collector Leviathan confirmed for Subnautica 2
Unknown Worlds has confirmed the Collector Leviathan — a massive, persistent-pursuit predator inhabiting the Sparse Plains biome far from the starting area.
The Collector Leviathan was officially confirmed in a January 2026 developer vlog. Unlike previous leviathans, it features persistent pursuit AI — it will follow the player across biome boundaries rather than returning to a patrol area.
Where does it live?
It inhabits the Sparse Plains, a vast open-ocean biome located approximately 20,000–25,000 units from the starting area. The extreme distance makes it a late-game threat.
What do we know so far?
- — Squid-like body plan, leviathan class
- — Persistent pursuit AI — does not give up when you leave its territory
- — Inhabits the deep Sparse Plains biome
- — Likely the primary reason not to explore too far too early
Full stats, scan data, and encounter tips will be added once Early Access launches in May 2026.
