Developer Unknown Worlds has issued an open letter to Deep Sea Trek players after publisher Krafton announced the departure of Unknown Worlds studio senior leadership (including co-founder Max McGuire) and appointed Steve Paputssith, the producer of Dead Space and CEO of Striking Distance, the developer of the new studio, urged everyone to be patient.

The news triggered a strong backlash from players, and a popular post in the PC gaming sector called for boycott of the upcoming "Deep Sea Trek 2".It is unclear what prompted Unknown Worlds designer/director Charlie Cleveland, CEO Ted Jill and co-founder McGuire to leave.

In the official statement of Krafton's original announcement, "development propulsion" and "mile marks" of the publisher are mentioned.The boycott post author Peter RockLife regards this as the core controversy point, believing that this is Krafton's punishment of the development team that insists on slow work and work.

If the actual situation is that the team is in development stagnation, the studio and publishers are unable to give a convincing explanation.But putting aside specific speculation, the public opinion in the forum and the Steam discussion area of ​​"Deep Sea Trek 2" is obviously biased towards resigning developers, and Unknown Worlds' open letter seems to be difficult to win back the hearts of the people - the letter lacks substantive information, and only mentions that the early access timeline is "to be updated soon", but according to the current progress, the 2025 early access plan may be difficult to fulfill.The letter did not mention Cleveland, Jill or McGuire's names, nor did they explain the reason for their resignation.

The letter clearly denied that the game will adopt a real-time service model or adjust its commercialization strategy.Although there are no such specific concerns in "Deep Sea Trek 2", this type of operation model is obviously a minefield that players generally resist, and Krafton, who focuses on mobile games, obviously hopes to avoid controversy in advance.

In my opinion, the most convincing part of the letter is the statement about the undeparted development team:

“The work the team has done in Deep Sea Trek 2 makes it clear that we need to ask everyone to be patient and support us when new leaders take office.

Our schedule and more information, including the Early Access Timeline, will be announced soon!”

In any case, Unknown Worlds and Krafton still face a daunting challenge to win back the trust of players.As for the inside story of leadership changes, it may take time to disclose more details.
