The core focus of Worlds Part II was to revolutionize underwater environments. Previously, oceans and lakes were largely uninteresting, but the latest update has transformed them into thrilling realms of exploration. The developers have deepened the oceans, introducing eternal darkness and immense pressure, making survival a challenging yet rewarding experience. Special suit modules are now available to withstand the harsh conditions, with a new pressure level indicator aiding divers.
To combat the darkness, the underwater flora and fauna have evolved to emit light, creating a mesmerizing bioluminescent world. Coral and certain creatures now glow, illuminating the depths.
