Another Highly Wishlisted Game Just Moved Its Release Date Up Because Of Subnautica 2

Fri, 05/01/2026 - 05:26

Subnautica 2 finally has a release date, and given that it's Steam's No. 1 most-wishlisted game currently, it's expected to command a lot of attention upon release on May 14. One developer, Square Glade Games, is getting out the game's way for its own upcoming release, Outbound.

Outbound was previously set to launch on May 14, but Square Glade Games opted to move up Outbound's release date to May 11 to avoid a clash.

"Even though we are very hyped for their game and big fans of the franchise, we think that it is best to not compete with such an highly anticipated title on that day," the studio said. "We need to dodge the Leviathan, which means that you can start your road trip on earlier."

Dark And Darker Can "Move Ahead With Full Legal Certainty" After Court Ruling

Fri, 05/01/2026 - 05:23

Darker and Darker can continue development and move forward with "full legal certainty," developer Ironmace announced, following a South Korean Supreme Court ruling that upheld a lower court's copyright-dispute ruling and dismissed appeals from both Ironmace and Nexon in what has been a years-long legal battle.

Ironmace was founded by former Nexon employees, who Nexon accused of stealing trade secrets related to a canceled Nexon project codenamed "P3" in order to make Dark and Darker. Ironmace stated it never used stolen Nexon assets or code to create its game.

As reported by The Korea Times, last year, a court ruled Ironmace did infringe on Nexon trade secrets when Ironmace CEO Choi Ju-hyun stored Nexon data on a personal server before establishing the independent studio. The developer was ordered to pay damages, though, importantly, the court also found Ironmace not guilty of copyright infringement. An appellate court later concurred with the first court's ruling, but lowered the amount to be paid to Nexon to 5.7 billion won, or nearly $4 million dollars. South Korea's Supreme Court has now upheld that ruling, seemingly putting an end to issues stemming from Dark and Darker's copyright status.
