"Judgment is entered in favor of Fortis on its Phase One claims. Krafton breached the EPA by terminating the Key Employees without valid Cause and by improperly seizing operational control of Unknown Worlds."
"The July 1, 2025 Board resolution that saw Gill and others fired from the company is declared ineffective to the extent it infringes on Gill's operational control right. The judge has ordered Krafton not to impede the reinstated CEO's authority over the early access launch of Subnautica 2 and restore his access to the Steam platform."
"The judge extended the period for earning a $250 million payout under the terms of Unknown Worlds' sale to Krafton. The cofounders are now eligible to collect the bonus for performance of the studio up through September 15, 2026, and potentially even extend the period beyond that date."
A court decision has resolved a major dispute between Unknown Worlds cofounders and publisher Krafton regarding the management of Subnautica 2. The judge determined that Krafton violated the employment and purchase agreement by terminating CEO Ted Gill and other key employees without valid cause and by improperly taking operational control of the studio. The July 2025 board resolution that authorized these firings was declared ineffective. Krafton must reinstate Gill, restore his operational authority over Subnautica 2's Early Access launch, and provide him access to the Steam platform. Additionally, the judge extended the performance-based $250 million payout deadline for the cofounders to September 15, 2026, with potential for further extension.
