Creator of PUBG launches new brutal survival game this summer for $20

Prologue: Go Wayback! promises to test the limits of players with a massive and unpredictable world

The name Brendan 'PlayerUnknown' Greene will always be associated with the success of PUBG, but now he wants to redefine the survival genre. His new game, Prologue: Go Wayback!, has finally received a release window: summer 2025. The title will be available in early access on Steam with an initial price of $20 and promises to be one of the most challenging games of the year.

A cruel and relentless world awaits you

The latest trailer released by PlayerUnknown Productions reveals a gigantic open world where players will need to survive with minimal resources. Forget objective markers or minimaps - you will rely on a physical map and a compass, like in the old days, to navigate and find a weather station lost in the middle of the hostile landscape.

But the true enemy here is nature itself. Along the way, you will face brutal snowstorms, rainstorms, devastating winds, and the cutting cold of the night. Not to mention hunger and fatigue, which will be constant challenges as you explore the vastness of Prologue.

Limitless ambition: a map with billions of variations

Unlike a traditional survival game, Prologue: Go Wayback! is an ambitious experiment in procedural technology. Greene's idea is to create a map so vast that it could reach thousands of square kilometers, using 4.2 billion different seeds. This means that, with each new attempt, you will explore a completely new world - no repetitions, no familiar points, just the uncertainty of an environment that never repeats itself.

This technology is the first step towards the true goal of the creator of PUBG: a 10,000 km² map, a massive world where each player will have their own unique experience. In a recent interview, Greene highlighted that the team spent three years developing the project's foundation, but that this journey is far from over.

"If we can... this will be something revolutionary", declared Greene.

The beginning of a new era for survival games

Early access will allow the community to help shape Prologue: Go Wayback! over the next few years. Despite the revolutionary technology, Greene admits that this is just the first step of a journey that may take more a decade to reach its full potential.

If PUBG was a game-changer for the battle royale genre, Prologue could be the game that takes survival to a new level. The question now is: are you ready to face a relentless world, where every choice can mean the difference between life and death?
