Subnautica 2 dev says the delay actually had a silver lining

The underwater exploration game was supposed to be released last summer

Subnautica 2 is set to launch in early access next month on May 14. It comes after a long and messy pre-release period, including the firing of executives, a legal battle over a prospective $250 million payout, a reinstated CEO, and a release window announcement before that CEO could properly review the game.

Part of that mess was a delay — in July 2025 Krafton pushed back Subnautica 2’s early access release when it fired several Unknown Worlds Entertainment executives. Ousted Unknown Worlds co-founder and director Charlie Cleveland was one of the executives let go. At the time he argued Subnautica 2 was ready to launch. “We know that the game is ready for early access release and we know you’re ready to play it. And while we thought this was going to be our decision to make, at least for now, that decision is in Krafton’s hands,” he wrote in a post on Reddit.

The dynamic landscape of current events often brings forth significant discussions. Monitoring these developments provides crucial insights.
