Official details on Prey 2 should be released by the end of the week.

Prey was released almost two years ago now and, despite boasts from 3D Realms' Scott Miller that a sequel was in the works, no information has slipped out about the game in the last year or so.

Until yesterday, when new details about the story of Prey 2 and some concept art for the game emerged on a Radar Group website. Unfortunately, the site was removed shortly afterwards - but not before ShackNews picked up on the info.

Supposedly, the story for Prey 2 will feature Tommy, the plane-hopping hero of the first game, escaping "an Earth that no longer wants him for a future that cannot survive without him."

The story details, while unconfirmed, certainly appear strong when accompanied by the concept art - and Kotaku has established that more details on the sequel, along with more art, will be coming from official sources later this week.

ShackNews meanwhile has indicated that the game will be released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Would you be interested in seeing a sequel to Prey? Let us know in the forums.

I'd love to see a sequel, but only if it comes to the PC. If it's console only, they wont get my love till it's on the <$30 rack.

If its anything of a mind f**k like the first was with all the changing of gravity and portals and different planes of existence, then no thanks, the last just gave me headaches after 30-45mins of play.

The game was never that amazing so the sequel won't be of much interest to me unless bit-tech gives it a 10 or something

Hi all,

The link that is stated above which is "http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/51784" says that:

"Prey 2 was listed for release on PC and Xbox 360, but no other specifics have been released thus far, including whether Human Head will reprise its role as developer. The studio currently has no known projects. "

Why do you think it will not be released for PC? I guess bit-tech meants that it will be release for Xbox 360 and PS3 ADDITIONALLY.

I enjoyed prey and thought it was a bit under-rated, mostly down to "What they took ten years to make this??" type opinions going around, I'd look forward to a sequel.

The first one was a good game.

I thought Prey was pretty darned good - almost as involving a storyline as HL2 - particularly with it's weirdness towards the end of the game (where you end up killing your girlfriend because she's had her body implanted on a big crawly monster). Some of the environments were massive and the puzzles weren't the usual, 'push button to make something do something to proceed'.

Prey was a perfectly solid decent FPS. It's a shame, as now-a-days games either have to be uber-brilliant or they get ignored. Had they actually included a Portal style portal gun, which wouldn't have been hard: there are 4Kb mods that add one in, it might have gotten a bit more attension on the web.
