PUBG Creator Brendan Greene Reveals Ambitious Survival Game Projects

PlayerUnknown Productions announces three interconnected games, leveraging machine learning for Earth-scale world-building.

Brendan Greene, creator of the battle royale genre and PUBG, has unveiled three projects under his studio, PlayerUnknown Productions.
The first release, Preface: Undiscovered World, is a free tech demo showcasing the studio's proprietary Melba engine for real-time Earth-scale terrain generation.
Prologue: Go Wayback!, a single-player survival game with emergent weather and AI-generated terrain, will enter Steam Early Access in Q2 2025, with playtests planned beforehand.
Both projects aim to lay the groundwork for Project Artemis, an ambitious Earth-scale multiplayer sandbox game with no confirmed release date yet.
The studio’s innovative use of machine learning and AI aims to create realistic, dynamic environments and scalable player interactions across all titles.
