Delaware Court Reinstates Subnautica 2 Founders, Reversing Krafton's Control Takeover

A Delaware judge ordered Krafton to reinstate Subnautica 2’s leadership at Unknown Worlds, ruling Krafton wrongfully terminated the co-founders and chief executive without cause and improperly seized control. The decision directs restoration of their operational authority and access to the game’s early access launch and Steam, while Krafton says it respectfully disagrees and may pursue damages. The ruling follows prior disputes over a $250 million bonus tied to Subnautica 2’s release and related actions, including Krafton’s handling of the executives and internal decisions; the enforcement path remains unclear for the game's release.
