It’s been a long time since we last heard about Prey – Prey 2 was cancelled by Bethesda in 2014, having been revealed three years earlier. The game we see today looks nothing like the game that was described to us back then, and now it’s simply called Prey.
Previously developed by Human Head Studios, the sequel is now being helmed by Arkane Studios, the developer behind the Dishonored franchise.
Except now, the sequel is a complete reboot of the series, albeit with a unique psychological twist.
Thanks, Bethesda.
WHAT IS PREY?
Prey is the long-awaited sequel/reboot to the 2006 shooter of the same name. Taking place in Talos I. a space station orbiting the moon in the year 2035, you are imprisoned and subject to a range of horrific experiments that could change the course of humanity.
As you might expect, things soon get even worse and the station is invaded by a slew of alien creatures. All you have to survive are your wits and some newly acquired mind-bending abilities. Oh, and you might bump into some alien weaponry on your journey, too.
PREY GAMEPLAY – HOW DOES IT PLAY?
Despite being set to release over a decade after the original, Prey appears to pay homage to a number of aspects of the original game. Some of the weapons, abilities and alien creatures look eerily familiar to us.
Judging by the weapons and supernatural elements found in the first trailer, the game will once again embrace organic weapons and strange magical abilities.
PREY RELEASE DATE – WHEN IS IT COMING OUT?
Prey will be available in 2017 for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
PREY TRAILERS – HOW DOES IT LOOK?
Having only just been announced at E3 2016, Bethesda has managed to show off Prey a couple of times since its surprise reveal.
E3 2016 trailer:
Earlier this month at Quakecon 2016 Bethesda unveiled the very first gameplay footage for Prey. It appears our protagonist, Morgan, will find himself up against some strange, misty alien creatures aboard Talos 1.
Some of the weapons on display include pistols, shotguns and a strange syringe-like device. Check it out in all its spooky glory below:
