Leadership changes at Unknown Worlds resulted from the former executives abandoning their responsibilities, leading to a substantial delay in Subnautica 2's anticipated Early Access launch. KRAFTON invested heavily in the studio after acquiring it, allocating a significant portion of earn-out compensation to the former leaders with expectations of their active involvement. Their refusal to take on roles in game development amidst other personal projects has led to confusion and delays, impacting the project's direction and content volume for the upcoming title.
The former leadership abandoned the responsibilities entrusted to them, leading to significant delays in the production schedule of Subnautica 2, originally set for early 2024.
Despite receiving about 90% of the up to $250 million earn-out compensation, Charlie and Max declined to participate in the development of Subnautica 2.
