Subnautica 2 will finally launch into early access in May. The long-awaited survival game sequel has been held up amid a long-percolating dispute between publisher Krafton and several of the original heads of developer Unknown Worlds. Now, in the wake of the legal ruling that reinstated Unknown Worlds CEO Ted Gill, the game is ready for the public.

"We want to take a moment to sincerely thank every member of the Unknown Worlds team and our partners," Steve Papoutsis, who served as CEO while Gill was out, says in a message to the devs that's been shared by IGN. "Over the past nine months, you have worked incredibly hard to bring Subnautica 2 close to the finish line. That effort has resulted in a game we are truly proud of, one that each of us and our partners at KRAFTON unanimously determined is ready for Early Access release in May."
