Subnautica 2's Legal Drama Continues Over Allegedly Leaked Launch Date
"Krafton self-servingly announced the launch without any regard to its impact on the game, the team, or the community-let alone this Court's Opinion. Announcing the release of a game is momentous, and it is typically accompanied by significant marketing activity, fanfare, and community coordination. That entire process was supposed to be driven by Mr. Gill. However, in defiance of the Court's Opinion, Krafton has now taken that away, further damaging the game and sowing additional confusion among the Subnautica community."
Unknown Worlds' newly reinstated CEO Ted Gill and co-founders claim Krafton intentionally leaked Subnautica 2's May release window in violation of a court ruling. Judge Lori Will reinstated Gill as CEO on March 16, granting him sole authority over the game's launch plans. However, on March 17, Steve Papoutsis, Krafton's appointed executive, sent an internal memo announcing the May release, which Krafton subsequently confirmed to media outlets. Gill's legal team argues this announcement was made without proper authority and damaged the game, team, and community while defying the court's opinion. The incident represents an escalation in ongoing legal disputes between Unknown Worlds and its publisher.
