Unknown Worlds Entertainment announced Subnautica 2's early access launch for May on PC and Xbox following a Delaware judge's ruling to rehire former CEO Ted Gill. The decision comes amid legal disputes with publisher Krafton over firings and a potential $250 million payout, though Krafton disputes the outcome and plans further litigation.
Lawyers for Subnautica 2 developer Unknown Worlds' reinstated CEO Ted Gill are pushing for publisher Krafton to be found in contempt of court. Krafton confirmed a May early access release for the game a day after a judge ordered Gill's reinstatement with full authority over the studio and its projects. The legal team claims the announcement defied the ruling.
