Brendan Greene, the developer behind PUBG, has announced that his new game, 'Prologue: Go Way Back! (hereinafter referred to as Go Way Back)',has ceased development just 7 months after its release.
PlayerUnknown Productions revealed the news on March 3rd, Korean time, via a Steam announcement. The development team stated, "Regrettably, we have made the difficult decision to downsize the studio, and as a result, we will be halting further development on 'Go Way Back'."

The game will receive one final update with its remaining new content, after which it will transition from Early Access to a full release and become free-to-play in the near future. Refunds will also be processed for users who have already purchased the game.
'Go Way Back' is a survival simulation game that was revealed in February last year. The objective is to survive in nature with minimal equipment, and its unique selling point was the focus on surviving harsh terrains and natural disasters without any combat. While it garnered attention at its reveal as Brendan Greene's new project, its niche gameplay divided opinions and led to a significant drop in interest. As of 10 AM on the 4th, Steam user reviews stand at 'Mostly Positive' (286 reviews, 71% positive), indicating a mixed reception.
