PUBG Creator's 'Prologue: Go Wayback!' Enters Early Access Nov. 20 With New Modes, Map Editor and Mid-Run Saves

The project marks the first playable step toward a planet‑scale, machine‑generated platform in his ten‑year plan.

Overview

  • PlayerUnknown Productions will shift Prologue: Go Wayback! from a two‑and‑a‑half‑month open beta to Early Access on November 20.
  • The launch adds Objective: Survive and Free Roam modes, a map editor, map seed sharing, and the option to save during a run.
  • The studio says saving required extra work because its guided generation does not recreate the same state on reload, with final tests underway before release.
  • Core play centers on non‑combat survival and orienteering toward a distant weather tower, with threats from cold, rain, hypothermia and dynamically forming swamps.
  • Each run features unique terrain and events generated by the studio's machine‑learning systems, in the first release from Brendan Greene’s new studio.
