"The highly anticipated title Subnautica 2 just revealed their release date - which falls exactly on our planned release date May 14th. Even though we are very hyped for their game and big fans of the franchise, we think that it is best to not compete with such an highly anticipated title on that day."
"The devs say they need to 'dodge the Leviathan,' and so Outbound is now arriving on May 11 on PC and Xbox, the same platforms where Subnautica 2 will soon be available."
"For now, Outbound, which has over 1 million wishlists on Steam, seems to be the only notable and popular upcoming indie game to dodge out of the way of Subnautica 2."
Subnautica 2 is set to launch in early access on Steam on May 14. In response, the developers of Outbound have decided to release their game on May 11 to avoid competing with Subnautica 2. They expressed admiration for Subnautica 2 but believe it is best not to compete with such a highly anticipated title. Outbound will still launch on May 14 for PS5 and Nintendo Switch, while the demo will be removed on May 8. The situation raises questions about other games potentially adjusting their release dates.
