PUGB creator Brendan Greene has announced a studio restructure at PlayerUnknown Productions, admitting “I have reached the limits of how far I can continue to fund this journey in its current form.”<\/p>\n

In a statement<\/a> posted to X\/Twitter, Greene’s studio PlayerUnknown Productions said it had been a “hard decision to restructure the studio,” but committed to continuing development of its Melba tech.<\/p>\n

“When PlayerUnknown Productions became an independent studio in 2021, 23 embarked on a journey to achieve an ambitious vision for the future,” the statement read.<\/p>\n

“Our goal has been to develop technology that can break the boundaries of scale, which currently limit how large virtual worlds can be. To achieve this, we built a research team to develop our Melba technology and a team to develop our first practical application of our terrain generation technology: Prologue: Go Wayback!”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It continued: “Unfortunately, I have reached the limits of how far I can continue to fund this journey in its current form. As a result, I have made the hard decision to restructure the studio. We will continue developing our Melba technology with a smaller team, while halting further development of Go Wayback.<\/p>\n

“Our immediate priority is to support our affected employees to the best of our abilities during this difficult transition.”<\/p>\n

As part of the announcement, the team also revealed that the studio’s Prologue: Go Wayback! game \u2013 the single-player open-world emergent survival roguelike where “every journey is unique” \u2013 will lose its $20\/\u00a317 pricetag and become free “for all future players with an upcoming update.”<\/p>\n

As a consequence of that decision, PlayerUnknown Productions is now “investigating offering players who have purchased the game on Steam and Epic Games Store a way to receive a refund.”<\/p>\n

Brendan Greene, best known as the creator of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, founded his new independent studio back in 2021<\/a>. PlayerUnknown Productions and is based in Amsterdam, Netherlands.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
