Subnautica 2, rumored to be delayed due to Unknown Worlds' leadership exits, has been officially delayed to 2026.
The delay is attributed to a desire for improvements following a private beta test and to enhance the game by adding additional biomes, upgrades, tools, creatures, and an expanded story.
The ousted director believes the game is ready for early release, but a reported $250 million bonus from Krafton could be a contributing factor to the delay.
Unknown Worlds shared a new trailer for Subnautica 2 to engage fans amidst the delay.
