Krafton still ‘supporting the early access launch of Subnautica 2’ despite its name being removed from the Steam page

Krafton has stepped back from publishing Subnautica 2 on Steam, with its subsidiary Unknown Worlds now taking on both development and publishing roles. Krafton acquired Unknown Worlds in 2021, but tensions escalated when Krafton dismissed the studio's leadership, leading to a lawsuit from CEO Ted Gill, who claimed the dismissal was to avoid a million bonus tied to the game's performance. A judge ruled in favor of Gill, reinstating him as CEO. The release date for Subnautica 2, initially set for May, is now uncertain, with Gill granted an extension until September 15 to launch the game. Subnautica 2 is currently the most wishlisted game on Steam.

How to make gunpowder in Windrose

To create gunpowder in Windrose, you need 10 units of sulfur and 20 units of ash, which must be combined at a Millstone. You cannot craft gunpowder until you complete the main quest "Revenge is Best Served Cold." Sulfur can only be mined with an Iron Pickaxe, which requires significant game progression. Before crafting gunpowder, you must complete the quests "Rescuing the Crew" and "I Need a Bigger Boat," defeat Thomas Richards, travel to the Foothills to mine Foothills Iron Ore for ingots, discover corn in the Foothills to unlock the Millstone recipe, and craft an Iron Pickaxe. Sulfur can be found in the Coastal Jungle and Foothills biomes, while ash can be obtained from burning wood at the Charcoal Kiln or grinding charcoal at the Millstone.

Can’t find the Windrose Traveler’s Camp second chest? We couldn’t either… until we remembered a clue from another camp

In the co-op pirate survival game Windrose, players earn experience points (XP) by exploring islands and completing tasks, which include finding and opening treasure chests. The game map indicates the number of chests remaining at each location. During gameplay, the PC Gamer team found one chest at a Traveler's Camp but struggled to locate the second. A memory of a previous camp led them to search for trees with red scarves tied around them, which consistently marked the location of hidden chests. Digging at the base of these trees allowed them to successfully find the second chest at various Traveler's Camps.

Subnautica 2 multiplayer explained – crossplay and four-player co-op
