PUBG designer PlayerUnknown Brendan Greene unveils new game called Prologue at The Game Awards

PlayerUnknown’s Battleground is one of the most famous battle royale titles out there. its lead designer Brendan Greene aka PlayerUnknown has now unveiled a short 30-second trailer of a title called Prologue during The Game Awards. It is a mysterious new original video game about which the developer has not revealed much yet. Even the 30-second trailer barely gives us a glimpse of what the game could be about. However, it should be noted that while the PUBG is supposed to soon get a new story mode, but a PUBG community manager on Reddit confirmed that Prologue is "not a PUBG 2."

As for the short clip of Prologue that was shown off, it seems to depict a first-person narrative where the person seems to be staring into the woods. It’s raining and thunderous with a dog barking, which gets louder by the second and all of a sudden, a bolt of lightning hits somewhere in the distance before the screen blacks out. While the clip hardly gives anything away at the tail end, the screen cuts to black and prompts viewers to visit the game’s website to figure out more. As expected, the website doesn’t currently hold many answers either. There’s just an option to register your email ID for updates. 

Brendan Greene published a statement for the upcoming title. It reads, “I have been given a once in a lifetime chance to deliver something new on a global stage. Being given a platform to build a brand-new experience outside of the battle royale genre is an amazing gift, and one I don’t want to squander. Prologue is an exploration into new technologies and gameplay. Our aim with this game is to give players unique and memorable experiences, each and every time they play.” While Greene's statement is promising something new and fresh in the world of gaming, only time will tell whether or not it will be as successful as the runaway hit PUBG.

Samsung Galaxy Note10, Note10+ reportedly receiving stable Android 10 update

Samsung has already rolled out the Android 10 update for its Galaxy S10 series of smartphones and it seems like the Note10 series of handsets are next. As per a report by SamMobile, the South-Korean smartphone manufacturer is now rolling out the Android 10 update with One UI 2.0 for its Note10 series of phones, which includes the Galaxy Note10 and the Note10+. However, the update is said to be hitting devices that were already enrolled in the beta programme for One UI 2.0 in Germany. The update is said to feature the version number N97*FXXU1BSL7 and weighs in around 145MB for beta users. 

We can expect the rollout to continue and broaden over time and surely, we will report when the update starts rolling out in India. However, we recall that the Android 10 update for the Galaxy S10 series of handsets was about 2GB in size and the smaller size update might be only for Note10 users on One UI beta since under the program, they received five firmware updates. So, for users who aren’t on the beta program, we can expect the Android 10 update to be comparably hefty. While the update is said to be rolling out in Germany right now, checking for it on your phones can’t hurt. 

You can head over to Settings and System Updates tab to force check for an update. Let us know in the comments if you see the Android 10 update for your device in India. However, going by a previous update schedule that the company shared on the Samsung Members app, the Note10 series of devices are due for the Android 10 update in January. As for the Galaxy Note10, it is the company’s flagship handset that sports a new display design, renewed features and upgraded hardware. You can read our review of the Samsung Galaxy Note10 Plus here.
