  "textContent": "The highly anticipated Early Access release date for **Subnautica 2** on **Xbox and PC** has finally been set: **May 2026**!\n\nFor those unaware, a significant development occurred recently in the legal dispute between **Krafton** and **Unknown Worlds** co-founders, where the court ruled in favor of the developers. We previously reported that **Subnautica 2** had been delayed until 2026; now, the specific month following this delay has been confirmed. The court ordered **Krafton** to reinstate the CEO and not to interfere with their authority over the game's early access process.\n\n## Unknown Worlds and Krafton Agree on Early Access\n\nA report published by IGN confirms that **Unknown Worlds** and their partners **KRAFTON** have agreed to launch the Early Access version of **Subnautica 2** in **May 2026**. Although no specific day has been set, in a message sent to the team, **Unknown Worlds** president **Steve Papoutsis** announced that thanks to the team's dedicated work, new story chapters, brand-new creatures, and different biomes have been added to the game.\n\nAdditionally, **Steve Papoutsis** confirmed that the **Subnautica 2** team successfully passed **KRAFTON** 's milestone review last week and can continue their open development journey with the community. The current priority is to get the game into the hands of players as soon as possible.\n\nAlthough **Krafton** does not fully agree with the court's decisions, they have stated they will support the early access process in May to avoid discouraging the team and to stick to the release schedule.\n\nOn another note, we should also remind you that the previous games in the series, **Subnautica** and **Subnautica: Below Zero** , received **Nintendo Switch 2** versions last month. So, what are your thoughts on the **May 2026** release of **Subnautica 2**? Let's meet in the comments!\n\n_For the latest_ _gaming guides_ _and_ _system requirements_ _, you can follow GamingAlly on_ _Instagram_ _,__Twitter_ _and Google News._",
