Brendan Greene's Prologue: Go Wayback! Cancelled Due to Funding Shortfall, Early Access Build Going Free

PLAYERUNKNOWN Productions, the studio led by PUBG creator Brendan Greene, has announced the cancellation of Prologue: Go Wayback!, a survival game that entered early access in November 2025. The project, which served as a research vehicle for the studio's in-house technology called Melba, was halted due to financial difficulties prompting a broader studio restructuring. The early access build will be made freely available following the shutdown.
