Overview
- Unknown Worlds announced Thursday that early access begins May 14 on Steam, Epic, and Xbox, with a $29.99 price and up to four-player co-op.
- The studio expects a two to three year early access run with small patches every four to six weeks and larger drops after several months.
- Krafton no longer appears in the publisher field on store pages, yet developers say the company is co-publishing the release.
- The launch plan follows a 2025 delay and a court fight that reinstated CEO Ted Gill in March and extended a potential $250 million earnout window to September 15.
- Subnautica 2 is Steam’s most-wishlisted game, and one rival survival title, Outbound, shifted its release to avoid the same day.
