## Resource

Subnautica 2 is being developed by studio Unknown Worlds and was expected to have an early access release date sometime in 2025. However, Krafton Inc., Unknown Worlds' parent company, seized control of Subnautica 2's development and cast out the former founders out of leadership positions. Since then, the two parties have been in a legal battle for restitution, creative and operational control of Unknown Worlds, and the proper release of Subnautica 2's early access. Here is the complete timeline of events that covers Krafton's initial acquisition of Unknown Worlds, the controversy, and the lawsuit.
