A Krafton spokesman says in statements to Eurogamer that the decision to delay the launch of Subnautics 2 «is based solely on our commitment to the quality and desire to offer the best possible experience to the players», and adds that it has not been «influenced by any contractual or financial issue.» Moreover, the editor argues that «the decision had already been discussed before» that they would cast the highest responsible for the study. What he does not say is whether or not they agree to delay the launch of the title.
Charlie Cleveland, co -founder of Unknown Worlds Entertainment and subnautical director and designer, said on July 5 that subnautics 2 «is ready for launch through early access.»
The announcement that subnautics 2 is delayed has been accompanied by a new trailer with gameplay.
On the other hand, Unknown Worlds Entertainment has published on its website a news where players about the subnact delay 2 to 2026. In their message, the development team ensures that recently game tests were carried out with a positive response, but also made them see that there are some areas that require improvements. Consequently, the development team says that it needs more time to make changes based on the feedback. received. In addition, he adds that launching the game in 2026 will add more biomes, creatures and tools, more improvements for vehicles and expand the story.
If we take into account that the 250 million dollars of the bonus were going to be distributed among the employees and that the head of the study said that the game was ready for his arrival this year to early access, it seems difficult to believe that now Unknown Worlds claims more time. Be that as it may, the conclusion is that Subnautics 2 will not be available until 2026 and it is very likely that Krafton will save the bonus.
