Subnautica 2 publishers Krafton have reportedly agreed to pay the up to $250 million earnout to Unknown Worlds’ devs, this being the bonus which was a major point of contention in the legal dispute between the former and the three Unknown Worlds bosses who were ousted last year. Unknown Worlds CEO Ted Gill was reinstated as a result of the ensuing legal action, paving the way for Sub 2’s early access launch this month.
This is exciting news for both Krafton and the developers of Subnautica 2! It’s great to see strong sales leading to significant rewards. It will be interesting to see how this impacts the future of the game.
