Reports indicate that Krafton, the South Korean parent of PUBG, recently restructured the management of Subnautica 2's dev team to avoid a hefty payout.

The former leadership of Subnautica 2 studio, Unknown Worlds, has announced the filing of a breach of contract lawsuit against Krafton as controversy continues.

An Unknown Worlds founder says that Subnautica 2 is ready for release, despite the delay.

South Korean video-game publisher Krafton Inc. is delaying the release of the highly anticipated survival game Subnautica 2 just months before it was due to pay a $250 million bonus to the development team.

One of this year's most-anticipated upcoming games is Subnautica 2, a long-awaited sequel to Unknown Worlds Entertainment's first highly popular underwater exploration game. Originally, it was slated to release on Xbox and PC in Early Access later in 2025 with a day one appearance on Xbox Game Pass.

The folks behind the original Subnautica (and its upcoming sequel) are suing Krafton following their dismissal from Unknown Worlds.
