"Krafton, the parent company of Subnautica's developer, claimed that the firing of Unknown World's leadership had nothing to do with the game's readiness. Unlike the joy of exploring the underwater world in Subnautica, diving deeper into the Subnautica 2 lawsuit is the furthest thing from rewarding. The latest update in the convoluted lawsuit between Subnautica's developer, Unknown Worlds, and its parent company, Krafton, represents a complete 180 with one of the case's key claims."
"As a quick recap, Subnautica 2's developers felt the game was ready for early access, while Krafton claimed otherwise and instead delayed it to 2026. The lawsuit hinged on this major dispute and included many crucial elements, like a $250 million performance bonus and the leadership team being fired and replaced. This change of heart from Krafton has left Fortis Advisors, who represent the founders of Unknown Worlds, confused and called this "a seismic shift in the case," according to PC Gamer."
Krafton said documents about the game's readiness were irrelevant to the termination of Unknown Worlds' leadership. Subnautica 2's developers believed the game was ready for early access, while Krafton delayed the release to 2026. The dispute underpins a lawsuit that involves a $250 million performance bonus and the firing and replacement of the leadership team. Fortis Advisors, representing Unknown Worlds' founders, described Krafton's reversal as a seismic shift. Krafton now alleges that the leadership abandoned their posts and deceived the company. Fortis accuses Krafton of not cooperating with evidence requests during discovery. The sequel's timeline remains uncertain.
