Krafton announced the dismissal of Unknown Worlds co-founders Ted Gill, Charlie Cleveland, and Max McGuire, replacing them with Steve Papoutsis. This occurred shortly before the highly anticipated release of Subnautica 2, affecting fans' confidence. Cleveland expressed that their decision to leave the studio was unexpected and disappointing. Krafton stated its commitment to maintaining quality standards through regular milestone evaluations, although it remains unclear why the co-founders could not stay involved. This leadership change just prior to early access raises questions about the game’s release timeline and quality.
"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."
"As part of its oversight, Krafton is committed to achieving regular milestones to assess progress across its creative studios. These reviews, based on clearly defined metrics and targets, will help ensure that games meet both creative and quality standards."
