The Future of Metaverse: Brendan Greene's Artemis

Brendan Greene, the mind behind PUBG, is working on a new metaverse project named Artemis that may incorporate blockchain technology but is unlikely to involve NFTs. Greene, who departed from PUBG's development team in 2019, aims to create a gameplay-focused metaverse without NFTs. While NFTs may not be part of Artemis, Greene hinted at the potential integration of blockchain technology in the future. He emphasized the importance of a digital ledger within a digital world. Greene criticized the current metaverse efforts as creating intellectual property bubbles and expressed his vision for Artemis as a 3D internet where players can engage in multiplayer gameplay across various worlds. His project includes three games, with the first one, Prologue, set to launch in 2025. Greene's focus on user-generated content and creativity aligns with popular games like Minecraft and Star Trek Holodeck. Despite the hype surrounding the metaverse, Greene remains dedicated to developing innovative gaming experiences.
