Prey 2might be in the works, according to the latest leak which has been making rounds on the internet today.
The immersive sim genre was popularized by games such asThiefandSystem Shock, although the foundations were laid by Looking Glass Studios inUltima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss. Recently, games likeDishonoredandPreyhave emulated the formula, and have managed to be quite a success.
The originalPreygame was released back in 2017, and it has been one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time. Be it the emergent gameplay, the art style, or the atmosphere, Arkane Studios has managed to tick all the boxes when it comes to this title. Now, it seems like the developers have a sequel in store as per the latest rumor.
Prey 2 “Neuroshock” Leak Fuels The Game Awards Sequel Reveal, Deus Ex Like Design
This leak comes from4chan(yes, we know it’s not reliable, but we have witnessed several such rumors being totally accurate on the forum) and it gives quite a vivid description of the game.
The leak states that Arkane studios are working simultaneously on two titles, the already announced Redfall and the to-be-announced sequel to the critically acclaimed Prey. It is noted that the title originated at an internal game jam, and it has picked up pace significantly after the Microsoft acquisition. Apparently, Microsoft wants to improve its Game Pass offerings withPrey 2.
The game will likely be shorter than the previous game, and players will be playing as Project Cobalt, a typhon organism injected with Morgan Yu’s cells. It is stated that it will have aDeus Ex-like structure and there will be a larger pool of enemies but fewer neuromods. However, these neuromods will be more “creative and experimental” than the previous ones.
It is stated that it will be only getting a CGI reveal during The Game Awards, and it is not coming before at least a year afterRedfall. With TGA just a few days away, we should know whether this is accurate or not pretty soon.
