Subnautica 2 devs rush to put out fires after their publisher calls it a live service game: "No season passes. No battle passes. No subscription"

Subnautica.

Publisher Krafton shared some interesting details on the long-awaited Subnautica 2 earlier today, and it has since walked back a lot of those interesting details as developer Unknown Worlds rushes to calm fans who were terrified to hear the sequel would adopt a "games-as-a-service" model. 

A now-modified slide in Krafton's latest earnings report raised some alarms among Subnautica fans. Firstly, it called it a 1-4-player co-op project with a "games-as-a-service" bend, and one positioned as a key 2024 title at that. Subnautica is a beloved single-player survival series with no live service or monetization bloat, so fans quickly started spiraling in the wake of this news.
