Subnautica 2 developer Unknown Worlds has moved to address fan concerns following publisher Krafton's announcement that the underwater survival sequel will be a multiplayer title adopting a "game-as-a-service model". Unknown Worlds - which was acquired by PUBG company Krafton in 2021 - currently has two confirmed projects in the works: Subnautica 2 and tabletop-inspired tactical battler Moonbreaker, which got its 1.0 update at the start of February following four months of Steam early access. That game was originally supposed to feature loot boxes, a battle pass, virtual currency, and a premium in-game shop, but Unknown Worlds walked back on those plans in October 2023 after "reading and evaluating" player feedback - a welcome reversal, given Eurogamer's Robert Purchese had some nice things to say about Moonbreaker outside of its monetisation when he played it last year.
