Latest UK-focused news and updates.
Krafton, the parent company of Unknown Worlds Entertainment, has reached a settlement in a protracted legal dispute concerning the development of Subnautica 2. The agreement includes financial bonuses for the staff at Unknown Worlds, which has been under Krafton's ownership since 2021.
The conflict arose last year when Krafton made significant leadership changes at Unknown Worlds, resulting in the departure of cofounders Charlie Cleveland and Max McGuire, as well as CEO Ted Gill. This move reportedly sparked tensions between the two companies, leading to the legal battle.
Details of the settlement have not been fully disclosed, but it marks a significant resolution for both parties involved. The development of Subnautica 2 is expected to continue under the new leadership structure, with the added incentive of bonuses aimed at motivating the team.
This development is particularly relevant for UK gamers and fans of the Subnautica franchise, as it ensures the continuation of a beloved series that has garnered a strong following since its initial release.
