Prey 2 was a showcased sequel to a 2006 shooter by Human Head Studios, featuring bounty-hunter gameplay in an alien city with guns, parkour and choice-driven apprehension. A playable E3 2011 demo generated substantial buzz, including mechanics that punished excessive chaos and allowed varied approaches to encounters. The title was slated for 2012 release but was canceled without clear public explanation, amid reports of contractual disputes and Bethesda attempting to leverage the publishing agreement to acquire Human Head. Arkane later rebooted the concept into a very different 2017 sci-fi immersive sim called Prey. Recently, leaked footage of the original Prey 2 surfaced online.
Let's talk about Prey 2. The short version is that Prey 2 was a sequel to a popular 2006 shooter by Human Head Studios about solving puzzles on an alien spaceship. It got a big blowout showing at E3 2011, including a playable demo that generated a ton of buzz. As a bounty hunter in an alien city, players used guns and parkour to chase suspects and choose how to apprehend them.
The game was supposed to come out in 2012 but never did. What was most surprising of all was that Bethesda never provided clear reasons for why the project was suddenly scuttled. There were reports of contractual disputes and Bethesda leveraging the Prey 2 publishing agreement to try to fully acquire Human Head Studios. Ultimately, Arkane began working on a reboot of the game that would become 2017's very different sci-fi immersive sim Prey.
Now fresh footage of the original Prey 2 has leaked on YouTube under the account "David Halsted." There are five videos totaling just over 20 minutes of gameplay showing off different features as well as the E3 demo. "I remember when they revealed this at PAX back in the day," wrote one fan on Reddit. "The whole con was buzzing about how cool it was and how hype we were for it. And then we got whatever it rebooted
