Overview
- SteamDB logs show the Steam listing dropped Krafton from the publisher field on April 7, with Unknown Worlds now listed as both developer and publisher.
- Krafton’s name still appears in the Steam “Franchise” section, and multiple outlets report the Epic Games Store also no longer lists Krafton as publisher.
- Neither company has given a clear public explanation for the change, which follows a March court order that reinstated CEO Ted Gill and extended the earnout deadline tied to Subnautica 2’s launch performance.
- After that ruling, Krafton announced a May Early Access window that Gill’s side called self‑serving, and PC Gamer now reports Krafton says it is still supporting the launch despite its removal from the publisher field.
- Backend tracking also shows recent tag and metadata edits to the Steam page, underscoring unresolved questions about who controls launch timing, marketing, and revenue flows as Phase 2 of the Delaware case moves to financial remedies.
