Krafton, the studio behind PUBG, is reducing its workforce and canceling development of Prologue: Go Wayback!, which will remain in early access indefinitely.
Krafton announced the studio restructuring and end of development for Prologue: Go Wayback!, a title that has been stuck in early access. The decision comes as part of broader cost-cutting measures at the South Korean gaming company.
Prologue: Go Wayback! will not progress beyond its current early access state, effectively ending the project. The game had been in development for some time but failed to advance toward a full release.
The downsizing reflects challenges facing major gaming studios in 2024, including market saturation and shifting player preferences. Krafton, known primarily for PUBG's massive success, has pursued various projects beyond its flagship battle royale title.
No specific numbers regarding layoffs were disclosed in the announcement. Krafton continues to support its core games, including PUBG and other established titles.
