If it hasn't already been made abundantly clear, Subnautica 2 will not be adding violence of any kind to the game, even as it begins its early access period. And if that's something you can't get behind, there are other games to play, a developer has revealed.
Specifically, if it's violence you're after, go play Sons of the Forest.

According to the latest reports, Wolfenstein 3 is in production at MachineGames.
As first spotted by GamesRadar, in Subnautica 2's official Discord, a developer essentially told players to go kick rocks if they're so hell bent on violence.
“We're not a killing game. Go play Sons of the Forest or something if you want to kill,” wrote a developer named Artie on Discord.
If you're curious about what Sons of the Forest is, apparently it's an ultra-violent survival game.
“Enter a world where nowhere is safe and battle an array of mutated creatures, some that are almost human, and others that are like nothing you've ever seen before. Armed with guns, axes, stun batons and more, protect yourself and those you care about,” the game's Steam description notes.
That response allegedly came after a player asked about the lack of violence and suggested that modders could be the difference down the line.
Depending on who you ask, the answer is either justified or an example of a developer going too far with their reaction to criticism and fan feedback.
“'We want your feedback' is not the same as 'We will stand behind every request you make,'” one user wrote in response. “If everyone went to early access and said, 'We want it to be an fps, but set on modern day Earth,' would they be wrong to say, 'Go play COD instead'?”
Another called it “extremely disrespectful”.
Subnautica 2 developers have had pointed words before
Before the game's official release, Subnautica 2 leaked early, likely due to an unencrypted upload on Steam, similar to what Forza Horizon 6 experienced but different from what happened to Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight on Xbox.
Anyway, the game being made playable early on was something its developers weren't a fan of, understandably.
“Thanks for pirating a game I've been working on for years,” wrote a developer on the same Discord. “I'm disappointed that you would do that when it's a way we make a living. I hope you reconsider your life choices.”
Whichever side you land on, it's clear that Subnautica 2's developers won't hold back their opinions.
