Krafton have big plans for Subnautica, after the second game's once-divisive co-op "confirmed the potential to expand beyond the existing fan base"

Krafton sees significant potential for the Subnautica franchise, aiming for it to become their second major IP after PUBG. The company noted that over five million units of Subnautica 2 have been sold since its early access launch, with a substantial portion of new players not having experienced previous titles, a success attributed partly to the inclusion of a co-op mode. Krafton plans to expand the Subnautica IP long-term, exploring possibilities beyond just sequels.
