Krafton Postpones Subnautica 2 Release | PC Games Insider

Okay, so here’s the scoop. You know Krafton, right? Those folks behind some seriously cool games? Well, hold onto your joystick because they’ve decided to push Subnautica 2’s release all the way to 2026. Yeah, I know, ugh. Rumor mill’s been buzzing with why, and Bloomberg even mentioned something about a massive $250 million in bonuses they might dodge by postponing. But Krafton’s like, “Nah, that’s not the deal.” Classic corporate, right?

And get this – they just swapped out the top dogs at Unknown Worlds for some dude named Steve Papoutsis. Sounds like a movie villain, but whatever. Apparently, playtests showed some “interesting” feedback from players, and they’re convinced they’re on the right track. Yet, there’s a twist – folks pointed out stuff that needs some spit and polish. So Krafton thought, “You know what? Let’s give it more time.”

So yeah, they’re all about making sure this game is spot-on, or maybe they just love keeping us in suspense. But hey, they say the community’s voice is key, so they’ve decided on an extended jam session, rolling out in 2026. Long wait, huh? I guess we’ll see if the extra time makes the game epic or if this is just a lesson in patience… hold my controller.
