Following several closed betas, PUBG Productions' new hardcore survival game, Prologue: Go Wayback! is available for players to check out now in open beta form, with its early access launch still set for sometime later in 2025, according to the studio.
"After running playtests with our Discord community over the last 6 months, and receiving some fantastic feedback, we decided to take the time to add more ways to explore our generated worlds based on our community's suggestions," writes Brendan Greene, also known as PlayerUnknown, in a press release.
"We have a great survival experience, with millions of maps for players to explore in the Open Beta, and over the coming months leading up to our Early Access launch, we plan to add more features to further customize your preferred way to play."
So while this is not the full release of Prologue: Go Wayback!, it will be the biggest look at the game for players so far, who will now have more than enough time to spend wandering the wilderness in this survival title.
