As reported by IGN(https://www.ign.com/articles/subnautica-2-will-finally-enter-early-access-in-may-following-year-of-delays-and-legal-drama), Unknown Worlds studio head Steve Papoutsis sent out a message to his employees that Krafton approved Subnautica 2 for early access last week, and that it will be arriving with "more story chapters, built new creatures, and created new biomes along with many other features."

Take-Two CEO Can't Imagine An Adult Who Will Skip GTA 6
In a recent interview, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick revealed that he has absolute faith in Grand Theft Auto 6(https://www.gamespot.com/games/grand-theft-auto-vi/), and isn't worried about players who are new to the franchise being unwilling to engage with it. In fact, he says he can't think of any reason a grown adult with a console wouldn't purchase Rockstar's upcoming game. "I think we're gonna have a lot of 17-year-olds playing GTA 6," Zelnick said (via The Game Business(https://www.thegamebusiness.com/p/take-two-ceo-interview-the-notion).) "I don't think there's any risk of them being like, 'Oh, I didn't play GTA 5, or 4, or 3, or 2, or 1, I'm not showing up for 6.' To the contrary, I think we'll be able to engage every appropriate individual in GTA 6." GTA 6 will almost certainly be rated M for Mature (intended for ages 17 and up) by the ESRB(https://www.polygon.com/night-trap-controversy-fmv-retrospective/), so the 17-and-up age group is Take-Two's target demographic, and Zelnick says the game will have no problem cornering the market. In fact, he can't imagine a world where an adult with access to a console wouldn't want to play GTA 6.

Arc Raiders Dev Co-Founder Leaves Embark Studios After Sexual Misconduct Accusations
Arc Raiders(https://www.gamespot.com/games/arc-raiders/) and The Finals(https://www.gamespot.com/games/the-finals/) developer Embark Studios has announced the departure of co-founder and CCO Rob Runesson after he faced allegations of sexual misconduct towards a female streamer who frequently played The Finals. Although Embark notes that an outside investigation didn't substantiate the accusations, Runesson and the company have "mutually agreed to part ways," as shared in a statement to IGN(https://www.ign.com/articles/arc-raiders-the-finals-dev-embark-studios-parts-ways-with-co-founder-following-misconduct-allegations). The original accusations were shared on Reddit(https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/1rhjk98/weekofsilencewhytransparencymattersforthe/) and other forums, in which a third party claimed that Runesson pressured an unnamed female streamer into having a romantic and sexual relationship. The accuser contends that the streamer felt uncomfortable with the topic, but was unable to push back because her streams of The Finals made her financially dependent on being able to continue doing them. IGN reached the female streamer in question, who declined to answer any questions on the record. The only thing she did say is that the allegations noted above were presented in a misleading way or out of context. Beyond that, no further details were shared.

Originally released in 2023, it takes place in the Settled Systems, a vast expanse of space comprised of dozens of planets that you can actually travel to and explore. The sheer scale of Starfield's explorable areas is undoubtedly impressive, if a bit underwhelming in terms of things to do. Michael Higham gave Starfield a 7 out of 10 in his review(https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/starfield-review-to-infinity-but-not-beyond/1900-6418110/) at launch, citing shallow mechanics and a vision of space exploration that left a bit to be desired. Since launch, the game has seen numerous updates, including a large story DLC in Shattered Space, which offered a much more traditional RPG experience that fans had been asking for.

Another Game Is Making It Much Easier To Rope Your Friends Into Playing With You
Remedy Entertainment has introduced a Friend's Pass for its multiplayer Control spin-off, FBC: Firebreak, as it ceases new content updates for the game. The studio revealed that new content updates would end in the Steam blog post(https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2272540/view/508481950670914554) celebrating the launch of the "Open House" update. Although Open House introduces new arenas for the Endless Shift mode and a perk system rework, its most notable additions prepare the game for its future now that Remedy no longer plans to actively support it. In addition to a permanent price drop to $20, people who haven't purchased the game can now download the Friend's Pass version of FBC: Firebreak on Steam or the Free Trial version of it on consoles to play the game with someone who owns it. While Friend's Pass players can't start games or create lobbies, they'll have access to the full game once they connect with someone who bought it.
