Subnautica 2 reportedly delayed to 2026, allegedly to avoid a $250 million bill

Despite seeming ready for an early access launch before the end of this year, Steam’s second-most wishlisted game Subnautica 2 is allegedly being delayed into 2026. That’s according to a new Bloomberg report that also claims that an enormous bonus payment of $250 million was on the cards for developer Unknown Worlds if it reached certain revenue targets - targets that would likely be achievable with the release of the game.
