Days after Krafton issued a formal response to the ongoing case against them, unknown worlds have aroused a new trial against their former leaders.

Cleveland, Gill and McGuire stated that Krafton had delayed Subnautica 2 to 2026 to avoid paying the unknown World Development Team a bonus of $ 250 million to be shared between staff to meet specific criteria for early access in 2025.
