Publisher Krafton has responded to a lawsuit filed by former Subnautica leads, stating that it “look[s] forward to defending ourselves in court”.
Details on the case against Krafton by the three fired Unknown Worlds executives were revealed this week, after documents related to their legal action were published.
CEO Ted Gill, co-founder and creative director Charlie Cleveland, and co-founder and technical director Max McGuire were fired by Krafton earlier this month, and accuse the publisher of obstructing the 2025 release plan for Subnautica 2 in order to avoid paying a $250 million earnout.
