Gameplay
Prey 2 is a first-person shooter set in an open alien world called Exodus. A a bounty hunter, the player will have over 20 gadgets with over 40 upgrades for those gadgets. The player will use a variety of Earthly and alien weapons to kill and capture his/her targets. Agile combat is also a large part of the game, where the player will jump, climb, and hover with rocket boots to traverse large alien cities. The game has morality system in which the player will choose how to act in the world. When captured bounty there will be a choice to interrogate enemy to gain information or send to client and get money.
Plot
The story of Prey 2 focuses on U.S. Marshal Killian Samuels, who starts the game on a passenger flight which suddenly crashes onto The Sphere (the crash is shown in the original Prey). After a short battle with some aliens, he is knocked unconscious after which the plot jumps forward several years. Samuels is now a bounty hunter on the alien world Exodus. Though he is aware of his profession and has retained his skills, he has no memory of what happened in the time that passed since his abduction. He initially believes himself to be the only human on Exodus until he runs into Domasi "Tommy" Tawodi, whom he has apparently met in the period he no longer remembers. Killian then resumes his bounty hunter activities while recovering his memory.
Development
The sequel to 2006 game Prey was officially announced on March 14, 2011. "We are thrilled to be working with Bethesda on Prey 2," said Chris Rhinehart, project lead. "Prey 2 will provide gamers the opportunity to explore a new facet of the Prey universe, one that offers fast-paced action in an open, alien world. We're excited to show gamers the title we have been working on and hope they will be as excited by this title as we are."
Prey 2 was announced once before shortly after the release of Prey, 3D Realms' Scott Miller confirmed that a sequel named Prey 2 was already in development. On March 17, 2008, Miller's brand-management group Radar Group was officially launched, along with the announcement that it is managing Prey 2, and that it slated for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. The rights were later transferred from Radar to Bethesda Softworks. According to Pete Hines, the VP of Bethesda, the current version of the game is what the developers wanted to make and not what has been announced before by the Radar Group.
