Just one day after taking a very hard L at the hands of the once and future leadership of Unknown Worlds, Krafton says Subnautica 2 will launch into early access in May. The release target was revealed in a statement shared with IGN that also appears to indicate that Krafton will not challenge the order that former Unknown Worlds CEO Ted Gill be restored to the role.

"We want to take a moment to sincerely thank every member of the Unknown Worlds team and our partners," current Unknown Worlds chief Steve Papoutsis wrote in a message to studio employees. "Over the past nine months, you have worked incredibly hard to bring Subnautica 2 close to the finish line.
