As the gaming industry presses onward, many indie studios find value in being a part of a larger conglomerate. Studios like Psyonix which had been on their own for so long, eventually decide to settle on joining a bigger name like Epic. Even bigger than that, studio powerhouses like Bethesda getting bought by Microsoft seem almost second nature in this day and age. Yet, as indie games continue to grow on their own, so do many indie publishers. Considering the scale of such projects today, it’s no wonder that Indie game developers would want to stick with that general theme. Known for Player Unknown Battlegrounds, the parent company Krafton are expanding their horizons. What better choice than Subnautica developers, Unknown Worlds Entertainment, which is only looking to go much further into space. Announced today, Krafton has acquired Subnautica developer Unknown Worlds Entertainment.
