Delaware Court Reinstates Unknown Worlds’ Ted Gill and Restores Subnautica 2 Control
TL;DR
A Delaware Chancery Court ruled in favor of Unknown Worlds’ Fortis, finding Krafton breached the employees’ protection agreement by terminating Ted Gill and seizing control, and ordered Gill reinstated as CEO with restored operational authority over Subnautica 2’s early access launch, plus immediate Steam access. The ruling extends Gill’s control period and preserves the $250 million earnout, with a deadline pushed to Sept 15, 2026; Krafton says it disagrees and is evaluating options as further litigation continues.
