In its latest earnings report, Krafton celebrated the success of aquatic survival crafting game Subnautica 2 by confirming that the company wants to turn it into a “franchise IP”. In the short term, Krafton wants to “scale up the creative” behind the game by offering more features like expanded scalability for co-op gameplay while preserving its core. Both Unknown Worlds and Krafton are working together to find a new CEO for the studio in the meantime. “Unknown Worlds and Krafton are focused on supporting Subnautica 2, its Early Access journey to the full 1.0 release and the global community that has made the franchise so special. While Subnautica 2 will continue not to focus on combat, the studio wants to give players enough tools to deal with larger predators in more meaningful ways.
