TL;DR
Subnautica 2’s dream team just turned courtroom rivals: Unknown Worlds’ founders and execs (Ted Gill, Charlie Cleveland and Max McGuire) abruptly quit after Krafton delayed the highly anticipated sequel to 2026—and allegedly moved the $250 million bonus goalposts. The trio claim breach of contract and have sued Krafton, which in turn accuses them of “abandoning” their duties, chasing other projects and stalling the game on purpose.
Adding fuel to the fire, confidential slides leaked online revealing scaled-back content, and Krafton even confirmed their authenticity to tamp down rumors. Now both sides are trading public statements, accusations of betrayal are flying, and Subnautica’s future early access launch is mired in drama.
