Will Subnautica 2 Have Proximity Chat?

This is a rising co-op keyword, but the current first-party source set used for the site does not explicitly confirm proximity chat.

That means the most trustworthy answer right now is not 'yes' and not a speculative 'probably', but 'unknown until confirmed.'

If Unknown Worlds, Steam, or a launch-day multiplayer guide confirms voice-chat behavior later, this page should be updated quickly and linked from every co-op answer page.
