- **added** — Added Crash Sequence cinematic experience that plays at the start of a new game, depicting ejection from the Aurora and the Life Pod's descent to the ocean surface

Subnautica Early Access has always featured the Life Pod – An escape capsule ejected from the crashed Aurora Starship. How did it come to rest on the ocean surface? What happened on the way down? This small update answers that question. See details about what is included in the update on the [Crash Sequence site.](http://unknownworlds.com/subnautica/crash-sequence)

The Crash Sequence starts with ejection from the stricken Aurora. To experience it, start a new game of Subnautica. The game used to start with a simple fade up from black. You will find that now, the opening is a little more intense!
