Brendan "PLAYERUNKNOWN" Greene wasn't satisfied with lead developing PUBG where you fight other players in a small landscape, so he put together a team to create an entire virtual world engine dubbed "Melba" you can check out right now:
Preface: Undiscovered World is an immersive tech demo showcasing Melba, PLAYERUNKNOWN Productions' groundbreaking technology generating Earth-scale world. In this project still in development, see the power of machine learning creating a planet in real-time, generated directly on your GPU.
More info and download link here. The ultimate goal with Melba, as you may have guessed, is an entire earth-sized open world MMO experience:
This demo aims to provide users with an early look at the innovative technology that will power the subsequent titles in the series, and eventually project Artemis. Project Artemis will be massive multiplayer sandbox experience that leverages the technological advancements tested and refined in our tech demo, Preface: Undiscovered World, and Prologue: Go Wayback!, our upcoming survival game.
After years of empty promises, I've gotten leery of saying "this could change everything" about a new technology, but well... check it out.
Hat tip: Patchouli.
