Subnautica 2 Legal Battle Deepens as Gill Returns and May Early Access Sparks Controversy
Krafton’s confirmation of a May Early Access release for Subnautica 2 sparks controversy after Unknown Worlds reinstated CEO Ted Gill; Gill’s lawyers accuse Krafton of contempt and leaking internal communications, arguing the court ordered Gill back with full operating control of the studio and the launch. Krafton says the memo simply celebrated past progress and does not strip Gill’s authority. The ongoing litigation centers on the timing of the ruling and the proper launch schedule as the parties seek to define who controls Subnautica 2’s release.
