A day after Unknown Worlds' ousted CEO gets reinstated, Subnautica 2 gets an early access release date

"We look forward to working with Ted Gill to support a smooth transition and work toward a successful launch"
Welp, it's only been a day since we got wind that a judge has ordered Krafton to reinstate the former leads of Subnautica 2 developer Unknown Worlds into the same positions, but here we are with the news that the deep sea exploration survival game now has an early access release month.

Notably, it also made mention of the formerly ousted CEO: "We look forward to working with Ted Gill to support a smooth transition and work toward a successful launch.

Our priority is getting this game into the hands of the community that has been eagerly waiting for it - and that means honoring the work you have already done to make that possible."
In case you missed the whole debacle between Krafton and Unknown Worlds' heads, last year the publisher replaced Gill, co-founder Charlie Cleveland, and technical director Max MacGuire with the executives behind Callisto Protocol.

Subsequently, Krafton then decided to delay Subnautica 2, denying the devs a $250 million bonus , which was then followed up with those ex-leads suing the publisher , and then (I know) Unknown Worlds, the studio, filed a countersuit .

Which leads us to now, with a Delaware court ruling Gill, Cleveland and MacGuire that they be reinstated, with authority over the game's early access launch and access to Steam being restored too.

Krafton did, however, "respectfully disagree with this week's court ruling," noting they intend to "explore all legal avenues." So, an almost guarantee that the drama over this whole thing will continue on longer than any of us has the patience for.

Anyway!

How about those windows, eh ?

Might even be nice enough to wishlist the game on Steam , if that takes your fancy.
