In the year 2021, the company responsible for publishing PUBG, Krafton, acquired Unknown Worlds, the team behind the highly praised game Subnautica. The sequel to this underwater adventure title, Subnautica 2, started development approximately a year after the acquisition. However, just last week, it was reported that Charlie Cleveland, the director and designer of Subnautica, along with his fellow Unknown Worlds co-founder Max McGuire and CEO Ted Gill were let go from the company. Now, Cleveland has addressed fans about his dismissal and provided an update on where Subnautica 2 currently stands in development.
In a lengthy Reddit post, Cleveland expressed his surprise at the recent turn of events, and went on to share the origins of Unknown Worlds, tracing it back to a Half-Life mod called Natural Selection. Krafton’s announcement about Cleveland’s departure seemed to imply that Subnautica 2 isn’t yet ready for early access, but the director has since refuted this claim.
Cleveland stated, “We are confident the game is prepared for an early access launch and we’re excited you’re eager to play it. However, surprisingly, the decision about when to release isn’t ours anymore – it’s with Krafton now. After all these years, it’s disheartening to learn I can no longer work at the company I founded.
Cleveland emphasized that our primary goal has always been to create an outstanding game for the exceptional community worldwide. Your Gorge plushies, creative fish fan-art, and your valuable investments have stood by us throughout every season, whether it was frosty or balmy, since Half-Life modding first began. I also want you to understand that this is not the end of our story.
According to PC Gamer, certain enthusiasts have proposed a boycott for Subnautica 2 and encouraged others to delete it from their wish lists. This action prompted Unknown Worlds to ask players for understanding, mentioning that the majority of Subnautica 2’s developers are still working on the project.
