    The studio from the creator of PUBG is laying off staff.

    PlayerUnknown Productions is restructuring to a “smaller team” and stopping work on Prologue: Go Wayback, the survival roguelike launched in early access last year.

    The studio plans to release one more update and then bring the game out of early access and make it free. It’s “investigating” refunds for people who already bought it.

    Here’s what you can expect from the game, which has the full title Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World?!:

    Pressed into the service of the newly-incarnated buff anime elf, you’ll speed your magic delivery truck to complete objectives across two worlds, running over pedestrians, sending them to another world as Truck-kun, and helping Carissa power up a Galactic Gate with the stars you generate together.

    It’s coming to PC and Xbox on July 29th.
