You may remember the rumour Jason Schreier reported on a few years ago about the development of Prey 2. Basically, an anonymous source told Kotaku Arkane Austin had taken over the development of Prey 2 from Human Head.
Schreier reported on this story back in 2013. It’s been three years since this story broke so some of the details may have changed.
“I’m not 100-percent sure, though. I do know it’s codenamed ‘Danielle’ and under development at Arkane Austin.” said Schreier in a comment on his DOOM news piece. “And this is a totally new Prey 2 (it might even be called something else now), not the one we saw in 2011 from Human Head.”
Prey 2 won’t continue from Human Head’s work which ended back in 2011, despite the studio having worked on the title for close to two years. At this point in time, the game Arkane Austin have been working on may be Prey 2 but, if they are creating everything from scratch, it may be a brand new game altogether.
