Prey Is “Re-Imagining” Of The Original IP!

One of the more curious announces at this past E3 was that Bethesda was redoing Prey, a series that had long been advertising a sequel, but never got it. But there weren’t many details about the game coming out of E3.

Now, a new video, that was found by IGN, from Bethesda has dropped, and it gives new details about the title. Specifically, what it is, and what it isn’t.

According to Arkane president Raphael Colantonio, Prey is “not a sequel, not a remake, it has no tie with the original. You have to look at it like a re-imagining of the IP.”

He goes on, “It is important to note that’s it’s not just shooting.” Colantonio says. “It’s more like a hybrid game where there’s, like, narrative meets with action meets with a little bit of RPG. You have some weapons, but you also have lots of other things – including powers that you can learn from the aliens themselves.”

He would go on to add that the game will features choices and consequences, but that “it’s not horror. The psychological thrill dimension is more around the theme of identity.”

Prey will arrive in 2017.
