Subnautcia 2 is one of this year's most highly-anticipated titles, as we know it will be dropping in early access at some point in 2025. Unfortunately, developer Unknown Worlds has had to try and mitigate some backlash over the past month, as more details about the game itself have had fans expressing concerns over the direction of the game compared to its predecessors.
One of the biggest points of criticism was the game's length, as many are worried the 15-hour-long runtime wouldn't be enough, while the confirmation that Subnautica 2 will have no weaponry in it also rustled some jimmies among the community. In a recent conversation on the Subnautica Discord (first shared by Reddit user ZookeeperGamelll1339), various developers from Unknown Worlds have now defended the game's direction, some a bit more passionately than others.
First off, Unknown Worlds addresses concerns that the game is "woke" now, and it gets the kind of response from design lead Anthony Gallegos that you'd expect. In the chat, Gallegos said that he's "happy to disappoint anyone who complains about stuff being "woke", and that they can essentially direct their complaints to the nearest dumpster.
