Krafton has announced leadership changes at Unknown Worlds, appointing Steve Papoutsis as CEO replacing its previous leadership team.

Former CEO Ted Gill, co-founder and creative director Charlie Cleveland, and co-founder and CTO Max McGuire have left the studio “effective immediately”. No reason was given for their departure.

Krafton said it had “sought to keep the Unknown Worlds co-founders and original creators of the Subnautica series involved” with the series’ sequel.

“I am thrilled to be taking on this new role within the Krafton family and to be working alongside the immensely talented team at Unknown Worlds,” said Papoutsis. “The team is laser-focused on delivering the best possible game for the Subnautica community.

“We appreciate Ted, Charlie, and Max for their past roles in having built this beloved world, and thank the fans for your devotion and patience.”

Prior to joining Unknown Worlds, Papoutsis was CEO of Striking Distance. He was also general manager and vice president of Electronic Arts’ Visceral Games.

“Given the anticipation around Subnautica 2, we owe our players nothing less than the best possible game, as soon as possible,” said Krafton CEO CH Kim.

“We are thrilled Steve is joining us in our shared commitment at Krafton and Unknown Worlds to deliver Subnautica 2 as a more complete and satisfying entry into the series – one that truly lives up to player expectations.”

Unknown Worlds was co-founded by Cleveland and McGuire in 2001. The developer was acquired by Krafton in 2021.
