Unknown Worlds releases Subnautica 2’s first major update for the game’s early access version, according to multiple outlets. The update adds a new defensive combat tool that lets players stun fish encountered while exploring and surviving underwater. While the change does not enable the full “fish murder” some players have requested, it provides a new way to deal with hostile or dangerous fish when players get into difficult situations.
Reports note the update represents a milestone in the game’s ongoing early access development, and it is positioned as part of Unknown Worlds’ broader “adaptive measures” approach to gameplay adjustments. Other coverage also points to additional features included with the update beyond fish stunning, though specific items vary by outlet. Overall, the sources agree that the update enhances player interaction with fish by introducing stun mechanics and is the game’s first major content step released to the early access community.
