It is a roguelike mode in which, while the levels of the expansion remains the same, placement of enemies, weapons, and other items are randomized on each playthrough. The Mooncrash expansion, released in June 2018, is a separate game mode built atop the setting and gameplay of the base Prey game. The game has multiple endings, according to lead designer Ricardo Bare the endings fall into three major narrative structures depending on how the player broadly interacted with the station and surviving humans, but Bare said there are 'tons of little permutations' based on specific events. Recyclers can also be used to break down almost any object into raw materials. The player can acquire aliens' abilities by using a device called a psychoscope. Colantonio stated that the aliens have an array of different powers that the player character can gain over time one such alien has the ability to shape shift into everyday items, such as a chair. The player is able to venture outside of the station in space and find shortcuts connecting parts of the station. According to creative director Raphaël Colantonio, the station is completely continuous rather than having separate levels or missions, at times requiring the player to return to areas they previously explored. To survive, the player must collect and use weapons and resources aboard the station to fend off and defeat the Typhon. The player is able to select certain attributes of Morgan, including gender, and decisions made by the player that affects elements of the game's story. The player takes the role of Morgan Yu, a human aboard a space station with numerous species of hostile aliens known collectively as the Typhon. Prey is a first-person shooter with role-playing and stealth elements set in an open world environment. Two expansions were released: Mooncrash, a procedurally-generated mode inspired by various roguelike games, and a multiplayer Typhon Hunter that incorporates the Typhon shapeshifting abilities in a hide-and-seek style game. Prey was positively reviewed by critics at release and considered one of the best games of 2017 by several gaming magazines and websites. Arkane built Prey as a spiritual sequel to System Shock, providing the player with several potential means of progressing within the game, while considering the Talos I station a thematic reinterpretation of their underground dungeon of their first game, Arx Fatalis. Arkane's game does not use any of the planned sequel's assets, and only incorporates the previous game's name and the broad theme of the protagonist being hunted by aliens. While Prey 2, a sequel to the 2006 game, had been planned by Human Head, it fell into development hell following transfer of the intellectual property from 3D Realms to Bethesda Softworks, and was eventually cancelled in 2014. The game combines elements of role-playing video games, stealth games, immersive sims and Metroidvanias in its design.Īrkane's Prey is largely unrelated to the 2006 game Prey developed by Human Head Studios, and is considered a reimagining of the intellectual property set in a new narrative. The player gains access to areas of the station by acquiring key items and abilities, eventually allowing the player to explore the station in an open world setting. As the Typhon escape confinement, the player uses a variety of weapons and abilities, some of which are derived from the Typhon themselves, to avoid being killed while looking to escape the station. The player controls Morgan Yu while exploring the space station Talos I, in orbit around Earth–Moon L 2, where they were part of a scientific team researching the Typhon, a hostile alien force composed of many forms with both physical and psychic powers, such as shapeshifting into a clone of any inanimate object. The game takes place in an alternate timeline in which an accelerated Space Race resulted in humankind taking to orbital stations far earlier. It was released worldwide on, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Prey is a first-person shooter video game developed by Arkane Austin and published by Bethesda Softworks.
