PUBG creator’s take on a metaverse is radically different from Roblox or Fortnite: “Everyone’s doing it the wrong way”

Prologue is a new survival game from PlayerUnknown Productions that utilizes advanced machine learning technology to create expansive maps. It is the first of three initiatives aimed at developing a broader metaverse concept called Artemis. Brendan Greene, the creator of PUBG, envisions Prologue as a community-driven experience and a testing ground for features that will contribute to Artemis. He aims to create a 3D internet where millions can share ideas and create content, contrasting with existing models that limit user experiences. Greene discussed the challenges of creating a viable metaverse, referencing limitations in current server infrastructure. Prologue's game world is generated using a machine learning agent and Unreal Engine, while another project, Preface, demonstrates the potential for creating environments on players' devices without server reliance. Greene emphasizes that Artemis will be open-source, allowing various experiences across platforms, and he projects it will take about a decade to fully realize. Prologue will remain in early access for about a year, with continued support expected after its official launch.

PUBG creator says he “100% expected” negative reactions to his new survival game, but its Steam reviews are improving fast

A 20-second teaser for Prologue, the debut title from Brendan Greene's studio, was showcased at the 2019 Game Awards. The game recently launched in early access, generating excitement from Greene, who noted its unique design allows for millions of different map seeds, making each exploration distinct. Prologue does not include quest markers, NPCs, or enemies, focusing instead on survival against the wilderness. Upon launch, it received a 'Mixed' user score on Steam, with some players dissatisfied with its perceived emptiness. Greene anticipated such reviews, emphasizing that the game encourages players to craft their own adventures. Prologue features three game modes and extensive replayability, but lacks traditional survival game elements. Greene acknowledged the trend of early access being misused by some studios and expressed his commitment to engaging with the community for feedback. Players have achieved notable survival feats within the game, such as surviving for 18 or 19 days and creating self-imposed challenges. Greene also mentioned community activities, like weekly challenges based on game seeds.

Diablo 4 challenger confirms paid DLC classes are coming, and its Steam reviews have taken a massive hit

Eleventh Hour Games (EHG) is set to release Last Epoch's first major expansion, Orobyss, for free to existing players in late August or early September 2026. New players will need to purchase an updated base game bundle. The expansion will follow Seasons 4 and 5, with Season 4 introducing a new seasonal mechanic and several updates. EHG has announced the introduction of paid downloadable content (DLC) in the form of 'Paradox Classes,' which has led to backlash from the community due to concerns about balance and monetization. CEO Judd Cobler explained that the decision to monetize classes was driven by the lack of profitability from the first three seasons and the need for alternative revenue streams. The game's Steam review ratings have shifted from 'Mostly Positive' to 'Mixed' due to community dissatisfaction. EHG has also been acquired by Krafton, raising concerns about potential changes in monetization strategies.
