Overview
- PlayerUnknown Productions announced on June 3, 2026 that it has paused further development on Prologue: Go Wayback and begun a studio-wide restructure that includes staff reductions.
- The studio plans an imminent update that will add new items plus paths and trails and will take the game out of early access while making it free for future players.
- PlayerUnknown Productions is investigating ways to offer refunds to people who bought Prologue on Steam and the Epic Games Store and says details will be posted on its Steam page and Discord in the coming weeks.
- A smaller core team will remain to continue work on the studio’s Melba terrain and scale technology as part of its longer-term Project Artemis research.
- Prologue launched into early access in November 2025, saw very low player engagement with a peak of roughly 182 concurrent players, and Greene cited those limits on revenue and his personal funding as the reason for the restructuring and halted early access plans.
