Warning: The video featured in this article contains spoilers for Prey.
Bethesda has released a video of the first 35 minutes of Prey, for those of you that are excited about Arkane’s upcoming action game and don’t mind a few early game spoilers. The video showcases some of the abilities players will have at their disposal as protagonist Morgan Yu.
It also digs into the upgrading and crafting system, in addition to providing a closer look at the weird shape-shifting aliens you’ll be up against. To reiterate, there’s a fairly big plot revelation early in this video, so if you want to go into Prey fresh, you may want to skip this video.
Prey is being developed by Dishonored developer Arkane’s Austin studio. It is a re-imagining of the 2006 original and replaces the canceled sequel originally in development at Human Head Studios.
Prey’s release date has been confirmed as May 5. It will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It is considered to be a spiritual successor to System Shock, and we also think it’s been inspired by BioShock. We recently went hands on with Prey, and you can see our thoughts on it here.
