The development team that created PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is about to launch a new game, but this time it won't be a battle royale game.Player Unknown Productions announced that machine learning technology will play an important role in its new project, which aims to build a grand online world, and the first work in the trilogy "Prologue: Go Wayback!" will be the first to debut.

Steam store page: "Prologue: Go Wayback!"

"Prologue: Go Wayback!" is a single-player exploration survival Roguelike game. Each new start will generate a new map of 64 square kilometers.Players need to traverse rugged terrain, resist harsh weather, and arduously move toward the weather tower while maintaining adequate food and water.

Player Unknown Productions named its future vision [Project Artemis], focusing on creating a massively multiplayer online sandbox world using artificial intelligence technology.

"'Prologue: Go Wayback!' represents our continued exploration of machine learning models. This technology will help the development team use Unreal Engine 5 to quickly generate realistic and grand scenes for players to explore."

When Brendan Green, the founder of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" recently talked about "Prologue: Go Wayback!" and the overall plan, he said that it may take time for people to accept this concept, and frankly said: "I expect many people will hate this game." But as long as it can spark discussion, this is the feedback he is looking forward to.

"It doesn't matter, as long as it resonates that's my goal. Just like people didn't understand the battle royale mode initially, but then it became widely accepted. I think the same is true this time - our goal is always to create these magnificent worlds for everyone."

"Prologue: Go Wayback!" will open early access on November 20, including three game modes:

Time and Space Retrospective Mode: Plan a route to reach the Meteorological Tower

Survival goal mode: Survive as long as possible

Free exploration mode: Explore the world as you like

The game also adds a custom setting function that can adjust weather and time changes, and is equipped with a map editor for players to create their own maps and even import custom designs.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has reshaped the battle royale game landscape in many ways, making the genre one of the most popular.Although the prospects of this new sandbox exploration game incorporating machine learning technology have yet to be verified, Player Unknown Productions is likely to lead the trend again, and its future trends deserve continued attention.
