Rumor: Prey 2 reboot sequel might be in development at Arkane Austin

It appears that Prey 2 could be in development in the form of a sequel reboot at Arkane Studios but with the collaboration of Human Head Studios, the original team of the series. Arkane Austin is allegedly working on a new project.

It could be a sequel to the 2017 Prey with the original Prey developers also involved as well. In a recent interview with the Spanish website Vandal, Harvey Smith who is the designer of the Dishonored and Deus Ex series confirmed that Arkane’s Austin, the Texas-based studio, is making a new game.

On the other hand, Arkane Lyon studio is working on Deathloop. Harvey Smith confirmed to Vandal of being committed to a whole new project in development at the Texas studio, while the French branch of Arkane is developing Deathloop, which is coming to PC in May.

To quote Smith’s statement:

“Raph stayed in Austin and worked at Prey with Ricardo Bare and Susan Kath and the people I’m working with now. At the end of Dishonored 2 I went back to Austin. I’m not in Deathloop , I’m in something else, working with the guys who made Dishonored and Prey,”

As you may already know, Arkane Austin studio worked on the original Prey reboot. Roundhouse worked on the original Prey game, and on the Prey 2 sequel that got cancelled.

Also, when asked whether he would like to work on Deathloop as well, Smith said:

“I think it would be very exciting. I’ve played a fairly early version of the game and now I’m looking forward to playing a more advanced one and giving you some feedback but the spirit of those guys, their dedication to the gameplay and player movements, to the art, to the scenarios… I think it’s going to be something fascinating to watch.”

Human Head Studios, the original Prey team, was shut down in 2019 but Bethesda offered all its members a job, effectively founding Roundhouse Studios. Also, Microsoft now owns Bethesda and all of its subsidiaries, so it would be interesting to see how things are going to pan out.

Stay tuned for more!

    1. Sarkeesian is the Greta of gaming, before Greta was a thing. Just another puppet of global finance (jews for people that are slow).

          1. True that. Greta recently turned 18 so they’ll now be looking to find another child to brainwash and exploit.

          1. IoI IoI lmao – yeah that pretty much sums up the extent of your intelligence.

        1. Right winger accuses the opposition of what is the right’s bread and butter. Shocking! That never happens.

  1. I enjoyed the Prey reboot, still need to play the roguelite version. Maybe the next Prey will receive the piracy treatment to me.

      1. Not sure why downvoted. This is more or less true. All of these people worked at Ion Storm and Looking Glass and they’ve been floating around since those studios closed, and then the same with Irrational. All of them have been around and eventually ended up working in the same companies like Compulsion Games or Arkane etc.

        1. the downvote has to do with the person not what i said, that guy is crazy.

          charlatan wonder covered it, all of these people are the same, immersive sims have been made by a bunch of people who jump from studio to studio and every time i killed the studio in the end.

  2. i dont see how that confirms its prey as the sequel pitch was turned down by bethesda.

    “, while the French branch of Arkane is developing Deathloop”

    interesting factoid, arkane was afrench localizer and they wanted to make a sequel to ultima underworld but didnt have the rights so they made arx fatalis. This is how ti started.

    1. Man you trump voters are a plague of locust. Don’t you have a democracy to overthrow somewhere?

      1. joe biden already did that the night after the election

        When you win a record low 17% of counties, lose Black & Hispanic

        support, lose 18/19 Bellwether Counties, lose Ohio, Florida, & Iowa —

        and lose 27/27 House “Toss-Ups” — but you shatter the popular vote record

        America is 50 states.
        Minus the states in question Trump won 25, Biden won 16.

        Those states house 2974 counties.
        Even with the “votes in question” Trump won 2496, Biden on 477.

        Trump won 84% of America, Biden “won” 16%.

        looney tune numbers equals election fraud.

  3. Don’t forget the race mixed protagonist you could choose, Hapa girl or Elliot Rodgers dude. Curious fact for people that know this pozz crap is not just a 10 year old phenomenon.

  4. Prey (original)> Absolute Masterpiece
    Scrapped Prey 2 leaked info> Sh*t tier bounty hunter simulator, good thing they scrapped it
    Nu Prey: Decent-ish
    Nu Prey 2: BLM Simulator: The Evil White Men vs. Strong Wamman: The Comrade Game

    I don’t have high hopes for it

    1. Yup, even I really like the original 2006 PREY title. I STILL play it occasionally, along with other FPS. The other Prey which came out, not so much.

      But the first one still remains my favorite I guess this all boils down to personal preference and taste.

        1. I know you are baiting me, troll. But I gotta say I do love it when you ‘all lives matter’ morons try to pretend that you are not deeply ugly racists. I mean, you do know that anyone outside of your echo chamber with half a brain is aware of what you are and of what you are doing, right? (remembers he is talking to a trump voter.)

  5. Arkane Studios is so talented & Underrated & Damn Prey was such an underrated Game…..hope its true prey 2 sequel this game deserves more praise, paid full price & don’t regret it such an amazing game

  6. Prey² is my most wanted game ever. The gameplay looked amazing and very innovative for the time. It was almost finished too. It had a killer ending too. I so hope a dev build “finds” its way to the internet someday.

  7. “Also, Microsoft now owns Bethesda … ”
    More like they bought Zenimax and all its subsidiaries, including Bethesda, the publisher that publish game made by id Software, Bethesda Game Studio, etc . Its confusing for me honestly how they operate ,so CMIIW

    1. So you make a comment acting like you know better, then admit you’re stupid. Microsoft 100% owns Zenimax, which is a holding corporation set up by Bethesda in the 90s that owns Arkane, id, Tango Gameworks, and Bethesda Game and Soft Works.

  8. This is so cool, prey 2017 was amazing, i have high hopes for this one, because this game Deathloop. i dont know i just dont see i could be any more than decent.

      1. AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA AH AH AHA HA HA HA. Pweeee. Thanks for that, b&*ch. I needed that. And they say the facists have no sense of humor.

  9. Bring back the bounty hunter version you canceled for this remake crap.
    Or make an actual sequel to the original.

  10. I didn’t realize that DSOG gaming was a haven for trump voters (worst human beings on the planet) – did youg guys just migrate from trump’s an*s to here? – hope you guys all catch the virus.

  11. Sounds terrible, count me out.

    Prey 2006 is one of the absolute worst games I’ve ever played in over 30 years of gaming and the autists who obsess over the cancelled Prey 2 need to go back to their padded rooms.

    If it’s a continuation of Prey 2017, or Dishonored 3, absolutely count me in because Arkane has released nothing that isn’t amazing except maybe Arx Fatalis.
