Just a week after gutting the leadership of Subnautica 2 studio Unknown Worlds, a Bloomberg report says Krafton is going to delay the game’s early access release into 2026.

Health bars aren’t as commonplace as they used to be in…
I recently finally fastened my suspenders, donned a tophat, and went back to Lies of P to actually commit to a proper, honest-to-Asimov playthrough. I had a great time with Round 8 Studio and Neowiz’s “puppet bloodborne”—not exceptional, but great. Lies of P did a lot of things I liked, but showed its smaller scope…

Such is the case with a recent update to Funcom’s survival MMO Dune: Awakening, which saw several PvE areas of the Deep…
