168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Subnautica 2 is one of this year's most highly-anticipated titles, with developer Unknown Worlds working hard to deliver upon the expectations fans have put on the title. It's been quiet when it comes to official updates, with Subnautica 2 still expected to launch in Early Access𓂃 at some pointꦆ this year, but a new u꧙pdate from publisher Krafton now has a lot of fans concerned.

Earlier today, announcing that Subnautica creators and Unknown Worlds co-🌼founder♕s Ted Gill, Charlie Cleveland, and Max McGuire have all been removed from the studio "effectively immediately". In their place, Striking Distance Studios CEO Steve Papoutsis (who has a major role in the development of The Callisto Protocol) has been appointed as Unknown Worlds CEO.

Krafton explains that Papoutis will now oversee the overall management and creative direction of Unknown Worlds, though it doesn't explain how much this will impact the development of Subnautica 2. It also explains that it "sought to keep" Gill, Cleveland, and McGuire involved in the game's development, but doesn't reveal 𒀰exactly why the trio has left.

The rest of the🌃 press release essentially talks about how Krafton values its fans and the work of Gill, Cleveland, and McGuire, and that the studio still plans to deliver a great game for Subnautica fans. Unfortunately, all the assurances in the world from Krafton won't be enough to put fans at ease at the moment, as many 🌄are concerned over the sudden change in leadership.

On the Subnautica Discord, a lot of fans are worried about those at Unknown Worlds regarding crunch, which is understandable given the attitud𝔉e towa♈rds the practice at Striking Distance. Unknown Worlds creative media producer chimed in to explain that the devs are "waiting to hear back from Krafton" about the situation, so it sounds like they're just as confused as the rest of us. Hopefully, the change in leadership was amicable, and that U𒀰nknown Worlds won't be affected too badly.
