Krafton is embroiled in a lawsuit filed by three former executives of Unknown Worlds, alleging intentional sabotage of Subnautica 2's early access launch to avoid a $250 million earnout bonus. These executives claim Krafton's actions significantly harmed fan anticipation for the game and jeopardized its release. The earnout was contingent on sales goals being met by 2025, and Subnautica 2, being highly anticipated, was set to secure those targets. Following critical meetings, Krafton's focus reportedly shifted toward delaying the game's launch rather than promoting it.
Krafton's actions have already severely damaged fan anticipation and undermined the potential release of Subnautica 2.
Upon their return, the El Segundo team-Krafton employees-reported to Gill that Krafton's leadership was not focused on a successful launch, but instead on how it could convince Unknown Worlds to delay the game.
