Those curious as to what's the status of the sequel to Human Head Studios' 2006 first-person shooter Prey may have to look no further than Zenimax Media.
As of last Tuesday, the owner of Bethesda Softworks (and more recently id Software) has been getting its trademark hands sticky on with Prey. Prey 2 was announced in early 2008, among one of the many projects of Radar Group, along with now missing-in-action titles like Earth No More and Incarnate. Ownership of the IP appears to have been shifted from Radar to Zenimax, which seems to indicate there's something afoot.
"This time abandoned and frame for the disappearance of his family and girlfriend, Tommy escapes an Earth that no longer wants him for a future that cannot survive without him," read Radar's description of the sequel.
Prey 2 is said to be in development for the Xbox 360 and PC in cooperation with Human Head Studios, bringing back to the portal and gravity mechanics introduced in the original.

Who's going to believe Aliens turned/killed my family
If I remeber right in the game you could ear radio reports about the invasion, so...there.
Also, bring on Prey 2.
1: make the death mini-game better so you still have some consequences for "death".
2: the ability to make and place your own portals ala a portal gun or something.
3: the ability to temporarilly make any suface/segment of a surface(walls and ceilings) in to one of those gravitational surfaces that you can walk on(imagine the puzzles and firefights you could have with this ability).
If not, then I'll think it's just as mediocre as the original.
The monsters are also awesome in the first game.
I still prefer The Darkness over Prey 1 though.I'll be looking forward to this game.
