Unknown Worlds has apologised to players of Subnautica 2 after a developer told those seeking combat options to play another game. The studio acknowledged that its response on Discord made some feel dismissed. It reaffirmed that the title focuses on vulnerability and exploration rather than fighting.
Subnautica 2 entered early access last week and quickly reached two million sales within twelve hours. Hundreds of thousands of players were active at the same time on Steam. The game is set on the ocean planet Proteus and emphasises survival without traditional weapons.
