Krafton gives statement on Subnautica legal case ruling

This week, a judge ruled that Krafton must re-hire the former CEO of Subnautica studio, Unknown Worlds Entertainment, due to a breach of contract. Now, Krafton has sent over their full statement addressing the ruling, along with its plans for Subnautica 2, which is still in development. 

In an email from Krafton PR, a spokesperson said: “KRAFTON puts players at the heart of every decision, and that will never change. Over the past several months, KRAFTON and the Unknown Worlds team have worked tirelessly to strengthen the game and prepare it for an Early Access release, with a continued focus on delivering the best possible experience for the Subnautica community. We look forward to pushing out the newly updated version as soon as possible for players.”

While we respectfully disagree with today’s ruling, we are evaluating our options as we determine our path forward. Today’s ruling does not resolve the former executives’ claim for damages or an earnout related to Subnautica 2, with further litigation still pending. In the meantime, KRAFTON's immediate focus remains unchanged: delivering the best possible game to Subnautica’s fans”.

There is not yet a release date for Subnautica 2 but like the first game, it will launch first as an Early Access title on PC.

KitGuru Says: Hopefully we get an update on the release of Subnautica 2 later in the year.
