Brendan Greene, the creator of PUBG, says his upcoming metaverse could integrate blockchain technology — though he doesn’t seem to have any plans for NFTs.
Brendan Greene, the creator of the online battle royale shooter PlayerUnkown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) — who left the game’s development team in 2019 — has unveiled his plans to create a new generation of a gameplay-focused metaverse called “Artemis” — though non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are unlikely to make an appearance.
Speaking to IGN on Jan. 4, Greene said he’s “not even thinking about” including NFTs in the project, which is currently under development at his game studio PlayerUnkown Productions.
The crypto industry has consistently championed NFTs as the best way to secure IP and in-game assets across different gaming ecosystems, but Greene doesn’t appear to be buying the hype.
