Krafton, the publisher behind PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, has acquired Unknown Worlds Entertainment, the developers behind Subnautica.
Unknown Worlds becomes the sixth studio under Krafton’s umbrella following this acquisition. The developer’s most well-known game is Subnautica, which launched on early access in 2014 and which had sold over 5 million units by January 2020. The developer has released other games such as Natural Selection 2, and earlier this year released the follow-up to Subnautica, called Subnautica: Below Zero. Krafton apparently intends for the studio to diversify the company’s portfolio of IP.
