You know that personal film project they claimed one of the founders was distracted by? It was a Subnautica film they asked him to make.

    Standard practice has been to fuck over the developers after release. They haven’t released Subnautica 2 yet. They’re screwing the developers over before they’ve cashed out the game. That’s the part that made it implausible in my mind.

      It’s ready for prerelease it seems, and very playable. Sounds like they already have what they need. They’re just taking a little headstart :p

        We don’t know the exact state of the game but what we know is that it’s early access ready. If previous Unknown world games are of any indication it’s still 2 years away from final release. They might make some money back with early access but it will be negatively reviewed under the pretense that it will not be properly finished. The release is already guaranteed to take a financial hit.
