Deep Sea Trek 2 has become one of the most discussed games of the year, although no one in the development team hopes for these reasons.A big legal dispute developed after publisher Krafton suddenly fired the entire leadership team of Unknown Worlds Entertainment, a developer of Deep Sea Trek 2.
Those former leaders, including co-founders Charlie Cleveland and Max McGuire, later filed a lawsuit claiming that Krafton wanted to postpone the launch of Deep Sea Trek 2 until after 2025 to avoid large financial spending.Krafton responded that Deep Sea Trek 2 is not ready for an early-experience release, and that Cleveland and McGuire “abandon their roles as studio-wide game director and technical director to focus on their individual projects.”
It was very confusing and unpleasant, and Unknown Worlds got caught in the middle of it all while they continued to make the sequel.And it's not just the sequel, it's obvious that the first-generation game and its derivative work "Under the Freezing Point" have also quietly received new patches.
The two updates focus primarily on tiny but important fixes to the existing Deep Sea Trek adventure.Deep Sea Trek's 2025 patch adds proper controller support to most standard handles for recent generations of consoles and redoes input options for non-keyboard players.
Besides that, it prevents your PRAWN suit from falling out of the map when returning through the game's Alien Arch portal and fixes Leviathan's "prone to fly out of the sea when catching Seamoth or Prawn Suit" - frankly, this sounds like a feature rather than a bug.
Meanwhile, Under the Freezing Point's 2025 patch focuses on Snowfox, a sci-fi snowmobile used to travel through the game's frozen land.The Snow Fox has always been the hardest vehicle in the Deep Sea Trek series, and the patch has made several changes to solve this problem.
First, it changes the Snow Fox’s collider to reduce its chances of getting stuck on obstacles.But it also significantly reduces the terrain impact damage from 100% to 12%, and reduces the chance of players shooting down snow foxes when attacked by ice bugs from 100% to 25%.
Oh, and it also prevents the vehicle from "sometimes falling into the terrain and disappearing permanently when it is deployed" - although some players may feel relieved when this happens, considering how tricky it is to drive.
Finally, both patches add a "pop-up news source for one-time announcements" which will allow existing Deep Sea Trek players to understand the ongoing development of the sequel.These games will also have big discounts in the next week - 25% off each.
