UPDATE 2: Prey 2 is not being made using id Tech 5. Bethesda's Pete Hines clarifies with IGN that "This game has been in development for quite a while and id Tech 5 is still in progress (until Rage ships, and probably even after). So it really wasn’t an option". Too bad. Which would mean it is being developed using the previous id Tech 4 engine(Quake 4).
UPDATE: Bethesda has officially announced that Prey 2 is set for a 2012 release. It looks like the same folks that did Prey are working on Prey 2(Human Head Studios). The game will be built using 'cutting edge id tech engine' although it's unsure if this means the new id Tech 5(Rage engine) or something completely new. The full press release after the jump.
You might remember that little titled called Prey. It was a first person shooter that was in the works for many years(started back in 1995) and finally saw the light of day in 2006. The game had some portal mechanic and a dream phase. Certainly a really unique first person shooter. The story was heavily inspired by native American mythology. Well Prey 2 looks to be confirmed. French magazine Joystick has an exclusive cover of the game and the title is now owned by Bethesda( Prey was a 3D realms title). No screens or info on Prey 2 yet but I’ll post if there are any updates.
