Krafton Brendan Greene and his studio Player Unknown Productions just announced a downsizing effort. This is the developer originally behind the megahit battle royale PUBG. The company is laying off an unspecified number of employees and cancelling further development of one title, the survival roguelike Prologue: Go Wayback.

An early access version of this title has been available on Steam and Epic Games Store since last year for $20. Greene says he's "investigating" ways for players to get a refund. This early access build will remain available and will be free from now on.
