Unknown Worlds Releases Surprise Updates for Subnautica and Below Zero

The latest developments unfolded during a period of heated debate surrounding the Subnautica series. Following the dismissal of Unknown Worlds’ former leadership, consisting of co-founders Charlie Cleveland and Max McGuire, the ex-team members initiated a legal action against Krafton. The lawsuit alleged that Krafton intentionally postponed the release of Subnautica 2 until 2026 to evade paying Unknown Worlds a $250 million bonus if certain milestones were reached by 2025. On August 12, Krafton delivered an official rebuttal to Unknown Worlds’ lawsuit in a Delaware court.
