Subnautica 2 Outlines Changes in Response to No Killing Fish Debate

Subnautica 2 developer issues an open letter to address the no killing fish debate, ruling out adding weapons to the game.

Unknown World, the developer of Subnautica 2, has responded to the community backlash regarding comments made about the killing fish debate. The team apologized for any feelings of being ignored or dismissed and emphasized the importance of player feedback during Early Access. Changes to creature behavior and mitigation tools are in the works to improve the gameplay experience.

Despite player requests, the game will not introduce actual weapons for killing fish. Instead, the focus remains on enhancing mitigation options and ensuring a unique gameplay experience centered around vulnerability and survival. Developers were surprised by the backlash, noting that players often built bases in close proximity to predators, leading to unexpected challenges.

Subnautica 2 recently received its first early access hotfix, addressing the EULA controversy. Players can explore guides for essential tasks, resource locations, and interactive maps to enhance their gameplay experience.
