Ah, here comes another Prey 2 story. Our reader ‘wyatt wallen’ has informed us about some leaked documents of Prey 2 that reveal some juicy new information about this new ‘Duke Nukem: Forever’ game. According to the leaked documents, Prey 2 will last 10-20 hours, will be a spiritual successor to System Shock 2, will be released on current-gen platforms only, and targets a 2016 release.
Prey 2 will be a first person shooter with RPG elements, will feature melee and ranged combat (as well as psionic powers), will sport unique aliens with imaginative powers, and will pack story choices that will have consequences.
These leaked documents also reveal that Arkane Studios is indeed the developer behind it.
We don’t know whether the documents are still accurate or whether Arkane has scrapped everything (note that PS4 and Xbox One are referred with their codenames, suggesting that these documents are quite old). Still, this will give you an idea of what this new Prey 2 game will – possibly – look like.
Enjoy!

Why not call it Future Shock or Techno Shock or something like it. Let Prey be its own thing and the Shock series be its own thing.
yeah best solution, make a new shock game, call it cyber something and work on it.
Whoever made those documents had alot of insipirations but i doubt the full game will be anywhere near close to that.
Nice username. đ
Sounds awful. Human Head’s Prey 2 looked awesome, but we’re not getting that thanks to some horrible folks at Zenimax. Even as someone who likes Arkane, I won’t be supporting this project in any fashion.
I wonder who at Arkane or Bethesda leaked this? They must be really unhappy with how things went down.
keep in mind this is pre production, just mere ideas and too old, for all we know they could have working on somethign diffirent for a long time now.
Still if a game is good the game is good, i want the old prey 2 as well but after bioshock infintie and tomb raider, ill take what i can get.
Whoa, spoilers!
It won’t be a true System Shock 2 successor, if anything it’ll be in the same vein but simplified, like Bioshock. Even if the developer wanted to release a true successor their publisher would never let them without dumbing it down.
You talk as if there were no decent multiplatform successors in the last few years. As long as there will be games like Human Revolution and New Vegas I will not agree with you.
Bioshock gone too far from SS2, but that doesn’t mean that Arkane isn’t able to make a decent game.
agreed but the sucessors in this generations were few and far between most games received a royal dumb down arse rape.
I got tired of lowering my standards, i lowered my standards with bioshock and had to lower my standards again with bioshock infinite.
I thing game developers are dumbing down games in general to “appeal to frat boys” as ken levine said rather publichers. Bethesda and arkane can make this work well just like dishonored, hopefully i wont have to lower my standards once again.
I miss the Star Wars Bounty Hunter theme from Human Head Studios.
This version seems like it might be Dishonored: The System Shock 2 wannabe.
Off topic but check this out . Huge open world fantasy RPG for PC only (Banished meets SKYRIM) .

neither script seemed really interesting
All those are really impressive, first i was mad for cancelling the game and arkane making something diffirent, but if they make ss2 all over again ill be the happiest gamer ever.
However those things are on the drawning board also quite old they propably have gotten rid of most of those ideas and settled for something else, they propably have been working for the game for a while and those ideas where there only in the pre production so take this with a mountain of salt.
It’s a shame that if you name drop a game you had nothing to do with, you get a free pass. I want Human Head’s Prey 2. Arkane’s game would’ve happened regardless. Don’t fall Prey to Bethesda’s “quality” BS. Human Head’s Prey 2 or bust. đ
well they say they cancel it because the game did NOT have “quality” all we saw was one single E3 demo on which i noticed rage like textures. There have been leaked ingame build footage that the game looks horrible, i want that game too, but something tells me the game we saw was as real as ubisoft’s fake e3 videos. In the end we will never know and we have to wait and see how similar prey will be or if it will be anounced at all.
They would have to say that though, wouldn’t they? If the publisher got caught doing a shitty thing, would they say it was great? Nope. “Oh, that game everyone wanted; the one that received universal praise. Yeah, I guess it was bad or something…” It had nothing to do with quality and everything do with failing to acquire the studio.

yes i have read about that but then again we never know, maybe the developer was lying,maybe things were diffirent, MAKE NO MISTAKE i know bethesda is doing shaddy things, like whne they shut down fallout fansites but in the end we would never know and we can be angry about a game that would have been, or just move on. I mean the prey 2 we knew is vaporware and we dont know for certain how much of it was real or even playable everyone says their thing, but to me it is pretty weird why would anyone cancel a almost finished game.
We just cant do anything about it or even know if the game turned out to be great or another colonial marines.
That doesn’t sound like Prey… They should just rename it…
I guess Colantonio won’t be happy with all the ‘press sneak fucks’ reporting about this leak xD
God, those pitches were all pretty dreadful :/
This reads like what Peter Molyneux would attempt if he made a shooter. Utterly unfeasible. The gameplay they outline in document 2 will never happen. Nothing even remotely like it will *ever* exist. Not in Prey 2, not in any other game. It’s just too much. Even if a team were capable of creating all the different features within their budget they would end up failing to make all those features into one whole game. Half of the features would end up unsatisfying or balance breaking so they would be cut right out again.
As for the story ideas, I liked none of them. Dudebro hero protects girl character again? Really? We had this in Resi 4, Bioshock, Dishonored, Last of Us and how many other games now? Just stop with the teenage girl characters. Put a woman in the game or don’t put any women in the game, I don’t care, just not another teenager we’re supposed to feel protective of. Just amazing how they specify they don’t want everything to be slimey because that would be like Alien and they don’t want the city to look like Bladerunner but at the same time they’re literally using Leon The Professional screencaps of Natalie Portman to illustrate the girl character.
