To coincide with last night’s The Game Awards (2016) Bethesda showcased new Prey gameplay with commentary from Creative Director, Raphael Colantonio and Lead Designer, Ricardo Bare. In the newest Prey video the two developers walkthrough about eight minutes of gameplay explaining some of the new features for the upcoming 2017 video game. Prey is being developed by Arkane Studios who also made the critically-acclaimed Dishonored and Dishonored 2 video games.
In the video it looks like much of the gameplay will be exploring an abandoned space station called Talos I which is orbiting the moon in the year 2032. Most of what we saw in this video was fighting alien shadow-like creatures who can change shape to disguise themselves – a character trait you’ll be able to learn along the way for yourself. The developers showed how a gamer can disguise themselves to navigate the landscape and use a variety of powers called Neuromods and weapons to not only fight the aliens but transverse the space station.
Prey game preview release information and impressions:
Prey is expected to release sometime in 2017 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. What we’ve seen so far from the Prey reboot looks like a mixture of BioShock and Dead Space wrapped into a Dishonored style of gameplay.
