Description from the video:
Subnautica 2 is an underwater survival adventure game set on an all-new alien world. It is the next chapter in the Subnautica universe, developed by Unknown Worlds.
Driven from your home by ongoing conflict, Alterra offers you the chance at a new life. But as the colony ship CICADA shepherds you and your fellow Pioneers to your new home, something goes awry. The ship’s AI insists that your mission should continue. Stranded and faced with near-insurmountable odds, you must do everything in your power to survive. The future of humanity on this world is in your hands.
Subnautica 2 enters Early Access on May 14th, 2026, at 08:00 PDT / 15:00 UTC.
Unfortunately I wouldn’t touch the game until the legal issues are resolved.
Why not? It’s not like the game/company is going away whether they ultimately win or lose in this legal battle.
This is a legal battle between the co-founders and Krafton. The co-founders were heavily involved with the first Subnautica, but for this second (third) game they were mostly just providing the overall direction for the game.
The way I see it, buying the game before September helps to take more money away from Krafton and give it to Unknown Worlds.
