Prologue Go Wayback playtest start time for July and how to join the demo
Prologue: Go Wayback has launched a new playtest for the upcoming survival game, and it's a great opportunity to check out the game ahead of its release. Here's when you can join the fun. Prologue: Go Wayback is back in action with a new playtest, offering you another opportunity to get a sneak peek at the game before its official release. Prologue: Go Wayback is vying for the title of the most playtested game in history, and we're not about to stop it. The survival game genre has been crying out for a new top dog, and now that the Dune Awakening beta testing has come and gone, it's evident that there are more opportunities up for grabs by PlayerUnknown Productions, even if many players have been lured in by Fallout 76's new fishing content. The new game, which drops players into an ever-evolving forest and challenges them to survive against the elements and wilderness across Steam and Epic Games Store, has so far made a positive impression, particularly following its June playtest, demonstrating to players that it's continually improving. There's still plenty of work to be done, however, and PlayerUnknown Productions is working tirelessly to ensure that players receive the best experience as frequently as possible. A new playtest period is upon us, and there's loads to look forward to – including the chance to play the full game a bit further down the line. But when exactly does the Prologue: Go Wayback playtest begin? Here's what you need to know about securing early access. Prologue Go Wayback playtest start time The July Prologue Go Wayback playtest is scheduled to kick off at 8am PDT / 11am EDT / 4pm BST on Monday, June 23, according to a new post in the PlayerUnknown Productions Discord. To participate in the playtest, simply head over to the developer's Discord channel and click 'interested' on the playtest event in the Announcements channel. You'll then be notified when playtests are open on a first-come-first-served basis, and provided with a link to sign up. You also have the option to react with an emoji to the announcement for a chance to test a full build of the game, although there's no information yet on when this opportunity will be available. It's a rather efficient system for such regular playtests, and it could offer you the chance to be part of the history of the next big thing. Don't miss out.

Prologue Go Wayback playtest start time and how to join the early access team for the survival game
The latest title from PlayerUnknown Productions is set to undergo even more testing, and you could be among the latest survivalists to try it out. PlayerUnknown Productions' single-player survival game Prologue: Go Wayback is gearing up for another bout of playtests, and you could be among the lucky few that gets to play the title while its dev team still works on sharpening it up. Who'd have thought that PlayerUnknown Productions had more tricks up its sleeve? The developer of PUBG is stepping out onto new and fertile soil with the arrival of Prologue: Go Wayback, a new survival game that plonks you in the middle of nowhere with a simple goal - make it to the weather station before the wilderness whisks you into death's embrace. It seems simple enough, but the PC game promises total unpredictability with weather that fights back, scarce resources and a need to scavenge for food that may or may not be waiting for you in the brush. No pressure or anything. The title is no doubt going to be a different experience from what many prospective fans are used to from PlayerUnknown Productions, becoming the first full game released from the studio since its obvious big-hitter battle royale title, as well as offering a single player survival experience that breaks the multiplayer mould set by the likes of Once Human and No Man's Sky. That doesn't mean that interest isn't present, though, as a new playtest period is coming up for the single-player wilderness adventure that gamers are scrambling to access. But it starts incredibly soon, and its sign-ups begin at the very same moment that the Prologue: Go Wayback playtest goes live. So how exactly can you get involved? Here's what you need to know. Prologue: Go Wayback playtest start time The Prologue: Go Wayback playtest start time is 8am PDT / 11am EDT / 4pm BST on Wednesday, May 7 on Steam, with it going live at the same time as sign-ups. As of right now, players are asked to join the PlayerUnknown Productions Discord channel for further notifications about how to get involved. The playtest is expected to be made available for players on PC via Steam, much like the game's first playtest that took place in April. The sign-ups are likely to spit out Steam codes for the current build of the game after PlayerUnknown Productions received feedback for the game after the last bout of playtime, with March's playtest offering codes on a first-come-first-served basis. The timings are a little strange, but regardless, players can expect to be thrust into a bizarre and harsh wilderness for an exciting new experience. We hope you've been working on your foraging.

PUBG creator's nails-hard survival game launches this summer for $20, and its new trailer shows all the ways it'll try and kill you
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Prologue: Go Wayback! the new survival game from PUBG creator Brendan 'PlayerUnknown' Greene, will launch into early access this summer, at a $20 price tag. In a new trailer, which you can see below, developer PlayerUnknown Productions introduces you to the huge open world that Prologue will set you down in. From your starting point, you'll have to navigate (the old-fashioned way, using a real compass and map) to a weather station somewhere in the surrounding area. But as you do so, you'll have to contend with driving snow, pouring rain, and howling gales. and that's before you have to struggle to navigate in the dark, or deal with the hunger pangs that are sure to accompany multiple days tramping around in the wilderness. That vast array of different locations and weather conditions exists because Prologue is not just a normal (if difficult) survival game. For one thing, it wants to be "as hard a survival game as you can make, but it's also the first step towards a much bigger goal. Greene wants to make sprawling maps thousands of kilometres in size, and Prologue is the first viable test of the tech used to make it. When I played the game in the team's Amsterdam studio earlier this month, the devs reckoned there were anything up to 4.2 billion different worlds seeds, meaning win or lose, you'll never see the same map twice. The new release window means that a three-year journey for Greene and his team is drawing to a close, but Prologue will be launching into early access on Steam, which means that it'll continue to develop in future. "If we can do it… This will be something groundbreaking": PUBG creator Brendan Greene is five years into making a 10,000km "realistic Minecraft" – but there's still a decade to go.
