About
Return of the Ancients is a mod for Subnautica that adds several features to the base game. The mod is known best for adding the Gargantuan Leviathan (known as the Garg by most people) into the game, which has been a highly requested feature since the original fossil for the creature was introduced.
The mod started development as early as December 6th 2020. At this point there were only 4 developers. In the following months, the mod has experienced several changes with team members joining and leaving and assets being remade entirely. On March 1st 2021 the entire mod was rewritten from scratch, due to creation of the new Gargantuan Leviathan model. As of mid 2021, the mod has seven active developers and several other contributors.
Return of the Ancients is still work in progress and currently has no planned release date.
