Bethesda and Arkane Studios have just re-revealed PREY. PREY is a first-person sci-fi action game that reimagines the franchise from the ground up… with an added psychological twist.
“You are Morgan Yu, the subject of morally dubious experiments designed to improve the human race. You awaken aboard the Talos 1 in the year 2032 and must uncover the secrets hiding in the depths of the space station while being hunted by the mysterious alien force that has taken over. You’ll have to rely on the tools you find on the station – along with your wits, weapons and mind-bending abilities – to combat the growing threat and, hopefully, survive.”
PREY is currently planned for a 2017 release.
Enjoy!

– Absolutely nothing like the teased PREY 2 from a few years ago – check.
– Absolutely nothing like the original PREY game from way back when – check.
– Absolutely a reboot? – Check.
Called it.
No seriously, even I wish I was wrong sometimes……. >.<
-The graphics are so awesome you can see the follicles on his left arm, Check.
-There are monsters and an overall gritty atmosphere, Check.
-There is a twist/plot and similarity to Edge of Tomorrow, Check.
If you ask me, these are all traits!
As a game in general, the concept trailer looks interesting, yes.
As a Prey game, it has absolutely no relation to its predecessors. The only reason it’s even called Prey literally seems to be because they sh*tcanned the Human Head Studios contract (Prey 2), & didn’t want to let the IP die, so instead we got us a “do whatever the f*ck you want” reboot.
If it wasn’t for that, Bethesda would have just announced “[insert something here] by Arkane Studios, with a 2017 release date target” instead (granted, assuming they gave Arkane the funding anyway, but that’s a separate thing).
We could have a open world sci fi game but noooo they made it a linear corridor shooter with dark corners.
WWWHHHAAAAAT
ARE YOU SAYING…. No, it can’t be……
Wow, I really think he is……
PEOPLE DON’T ACTUALLY LIKE CORRIDOR SHOOTERS?!
I DON’T UNDERSTAND!
WWHAAAAAAAAAAAAI!
It is like the guy that gets thrown out of the window meme. “Hey i need ideas, lets make it more generic and samey as possible”
“How about we make it interesting and distinctive?
Out the window.
Hey it’s recession, IP’s die, let this one slide bro.
They turned it into dead space soma, why god why, WHYYYYY?
Why make it generic?
BUT YOU SEE IT HAS A PSYCHOLOGICAL TWIST AND IT HAS THIS WEIRD ALIENS THAT….
I DONT CARE
I wish it were humans, but hey, you can’t have it all. They cleaaarly have some documentation on the subject, and chose to have some alien, creature weird theme going on..
>The graphics are so awesome you can see the follicles on his left arm, Check.
Is this sarcasm or are you dim? It’s a CGI trailer.
it’s sarcasm bub, ask you mom, seriously.
They turned it into dead space soma, why god why, WHYYYYY?
Why make it generic?
BUT YOU SEE IT HAS A PSYCHOLOGICAL TWIST AND IT HAS THIS WEIRD ALIENS THAT….
I DONT CARE.
“They turned it into dead space soma, why god why, WHYYYYY?

You should wait for gameplay before saying all that.
I played through a good portion of Prey recently and the gameplay wasn’t all that great TBH (setting and aesthetics were amazing though). I can see why you’re disappointed, but Bethesda’s really been delivering with old school shooters lately so I’m cautiously optimistic to see more. And yes, I know Wolfenstein TNO and Doom 4 were made by different developers, but no other major publisher than Bethesda will put out a shooter without lobotomizing it with all the modern dogsh*t trends we’ve come to hate.
it was never great it was weird with some interesting ideas. Prey 2 was open world, this one? What is this one? Generic corridor shooter
DOOM 4 is partly lobotomized, don’t let the overwhelming nerdscreams fool you.
As for this one; there’s literally not a single piece of evidence to indicate it’ll be an old school shooter. Beyond being a reboot, if it was intended as an old school shooter, somehow I don’t see ZeniMax giving the project over to Arkane Studios, of all people.
o_O
All right, maybe I’m utterly retarded but, I’m not getting why it is named like the original game.
If it’s a reboot and has f*ck all to do with the original, brand recognition is moot right?
Yeah, yeah they own the IP/Name, go nuts, but the instant I hear the name I’m thinking about something else.
” I’m not getting why it is named like the original game.”
Because you are the prey, i hate what they did to the game it is so generic and been there done that.
From what I’ve been hearing it is basically the planned System Shock 3. 😐
System shock 3 is happening anyway, so no.
Design documents leaked sometime ago, care to do some reading? https://pt(dot)scribd(dot)com/doc/227321234/Prey-2-Document-1.
Also:
Stop pretending like you’ve played the game lol xD
Seriously, there’s a good chance the game will turn out different to how you think. Whether it’s generic or cliche is impossible to tell from a trailer like that. Why is it generic ? Because of vague horror and shooter elements ? That’s nothing more than assumption.
Chris Avellone is working on this project so…i am happier than before.
This could be interesting.
I like this trailer. Very good idea with that kind of aliens. I hope the game will look close to this trailer.
“I hope the game will look close to this trailer.”
Stop hoping, because it will look nothing like this CGI trailer 😛
Unfortunately I know. But man can keep dreaming. 🙂
This just looks dull as hell.
This really has nothing to do with either the first pray(the one with tommy) or the cool bounty hunter game from the trailers…
WTF. Do they have to name it pray then? What if we get Half Life 3 and theres no Gordon.. no combine.. no nothing. Its a Mario party game. People will be mind blown 😀 😀 😀
RIP “Prey will continue…”
Guess i’ll never get the sequel I was promised at the end of the first game.
Too early to say anything really, hope for the best.
Seems to be a lot of hate. Sure it’s not a continuation from the first game, but it looks 100% better than that last tripe they showed back in 2011. I’ll be keeping an eye on this one.
We’ll all keep an eye on this one, believe you me. Besides, what’s not to like! This is what games should look like from now on, and not that Conan nonsense.
Hopefully no down grade for us pc gamers
If you think what was shown in 2011 was tripe, well i dont know what to say to you.
Enjoy your generic been there done that corridor sci fi shooter.
So you think “here is a mission, go here and kill this guy” isn’t repetitive? ok.
“Enjoy your generic been there done that corridor sci fi shooter.”
Oh, how do you know that’s what kind of game it is ? Have you played it ? Or are you making assumptions based on very vague and broad details ?
Poke my interest enough for me to follow.
FFS developers, stop rebooting your series with the same f*cking title as the first game! Jesus, it’s Prey 2. PREY F*CKING 2!!!
