News about the sci-fi shooter sequel, Prey 2, has subsided since development hit some speedbumps in 2012, but a new leak suggests that the title is still in development at Arkane Studios.<\/p>\n
The news comes through leaked e-mails, which was written by Arkane Creative Director Raphael Colantonio, who said that the project would be a \u201creboot\u201d.<\/p>\n
“Austin has officially been green lit for its own project!” reads the e-mail from Colantonio to his staff back in May. “Doing a new IP was not a possibility because it’s adding risk to the challenge of growth, so after going back and forth with Todd, Harvey, Ricardo, we decided that\u00a0Prey 2\u00a0presented an interesting opportunity if we could reboot it. Zenimax accepted our pitch which was “the spiritual successor to\u00a0System Shock 3 [sic].”<\/p>\n
The assumption is that Arkane will be starting the project from scratch and not using the build designed by Prey 2\u2019s original developer Human Head Studios.<\/p>\n
Arkane\u2019s most recent project Dishonored was a critical and commercial success with critics and gamers alike.<\/p>\n
Prey 2 hasn\u2019t been worked on since November<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
