Subnautica 2 Early Access Has A Launch Date, And It's Very Soon
Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- Subnautica 2's Early Access release date has been officially announced for May 14, following a period of controversy between its developers, Unknown Worlds, and publishers Krafton.
- The release date was allegedly leaked by Krafton in March as retaliation after losing a legal battle over control of the game's launch and a $250 million payout dispute.
- The ongoing legal and political conflicts have overshadowed the game itself, but the upcoming Early Access launch may shift focus back to the gameplay experience.
- A new cinematic trailer was released, though it primarily showcases what the game does not look like, rather than providing a clear preview of the gameplay.
- The original Subnautica set a high standard for Early Access success, and there is optimism that the sequel will similarly evolve into a compelling craft-and-explore adventure.
