PLAYERUNKNOWN Shuts Down Development of Prologue: Go Wayback Several Months After Its Release
Restructuring is coming.
PLAYERUNKNOWN, or Brendan Greene, who you might know for creating PUBG, announced that he's canceling the development of his open-world emergent survival roguelike Prologue: Go Wayback!, which was released mere months ago, in November.
Go Wayback was created as a showcase of the studio's terrain generation technology in its Melba engine, but Greene can't fund the project any longer and decided to restructure the company (lay off employees).
"Unfortunately I have reached the limits of how far I can continue to fund this journey in its current form. As a result, I have made the hard decision to restructure the studio. We will continue developing our Melba technology with a smaller team, while halting further development of Go Wayback."

The game will be available for free for all future players with an upcoming update, and those who have already bought it will likely get a refund, or at least Greene is "investigating" this possibility.
