　　Now Playing: Subnautica: Below Zero Trailer | State of Play

　　Unknown Worlds will continue to operate independently while under Krafton. Both Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero will continue to receive updates. Additionally, Unknown Worlds is currently working a new project that is slated to launch into early access sometime in early 2022.

　　“It was immediately apparent how closely Unknown Worlds and Krafton are aligned in the way we think about games and game development,” wrote Unknown World CEO Charlie Cleveland in a statement. "Subnautica and PUBG both started humbly and evolved successfully through constant iteration and feedback. We want to bring new games to the world stage – and with Krafton, we’re a big step closer. We’re truly looking forward to our future together.”

　　Unknown Worlds released Subnautica: Below Zero earlier this year in May after it had been in early access since 2019. Krafton's Callisto Protcol, lead by Striking Distance Studios, is slated to launch in 2022.
