In 2024, PUBG creator Brendan Greene made headlines once again. At the PC Gaming Show, he announced the development of three projects at once — players already have the chance to check out one of them.
The studio’s “ambitious plan” includes:
Prologue: Go Wayback — being developed using the studio’s “machine learning-based” terrain generation technology, which allows for the “instant” creation of millions of maps.
Preface: Undiscovered World — players will be presented with a world “at an Earth scale, generated in real time by our machine learning agents right on their GPU.” For now, the “digital planet” is empty, but everyone who visits it “shares their feedback, contributing to its future development.”
Artemis — the game is intended to be the culmination of work on two as-yet unannounced projects set to release after Prologue: “each of which will tackle crucial technical challenges, bringing the studio closer to the final product.”
A tech demo has been released on Steam for Preface: Undiscovered World — players have left mostly negative reviews, with only 31% positive.
