During last week’s Bethesda E3 Showcase, Arkane Studios, the people behind the Dishonored series, teased a new title that none of us were expecting: Prey, a first person sci-fi shooter.

This is not a reboot of the 2006 similarly titled game by Human Head Studios, nor is it related to the Prey 2 sequel that was unfortunately canned. This version of Prey is considered a re-imagining of the original title, and the provided trailer sets a futuristic stage where something inevitably has gone horribly wrong.

Many fans of the video game Prey were pretty upset to find out that the game’s sequel, Prey 2 (first announced back in March of 2011), might be getting killed off.

Bethesda Softworks, the company publishing the game that was being developed by Human Head Studios for a 2012 release, has now offered up an update on the sequel, mainly reaching out to all of the angry/saddened fans and offering them reassurance that Prey 2 is still happening…they’re just not sure when it will be coming out anymore.

You can check out Bethesda’s statement below.

Bethesda Softworks has announced that a sequel to the 2006 video game, Prey, is in the works and will be released some time in 2012.

The original game followed a Native American called Tommy who, along with his girlfriend and grandfather, is abducted by aliens who bring them into a nightmarish ship where humans are apparently being harvested by the extraterrestrials. Tommy then has to navigate his way through the ship, often needing to work with strange portals and gravitational belts, trying to find and save them.
