[quote]At PAX Australia, Bethesda vice president Pete Hines has confirmed to CNET that Prey 2 is now officially cancelled.
"It was game we believed in, but we never felt that it got to where it needed to be - we never saw a path to success if we finished it," Hines said.[/quote]
Just a Cnet article so far.
Wasn't this cancelled fucking ages ago?

Basically. It was put on life support at the time.
pretty obvious it was never gonna get finished but that still sucks. whats the bet the concept of it is gonna end up on kickstarter?

I could have sworn it was essentially dead dead, as far as I've been concerned it was dead.

yea, life support.

It has been dead for a long time, this is just the official declaration.

It was like The Last Guardian. Not officially cancelled but pretty much dead.
Noooooooo :(
The trailer was so awesome. Hope that it gets picked up and put on Kickstarter.
I was really looking forward to hearing the opposite of this, the concept sounded like my kind of game, a human thrown into alien lands rises up as a galactic bounty hunter, thats fucking awesome, too bad about this news though.
I still had the insert that came with Skyrim, so I made a memorial.

Oh well. I'm sure it would have been clogged with DLC, pre-purchase, season pass bullshit regardless.
RIP in gamer heaven, Prey 2. May your forever untouched spirit rest easy, without the hell of DLC, pre-purchase and season pass burdening you.
The original studio actually had a pretty functional game, and it was nearly finished before Bethesda canned it.

The game you would have played was, Beth tried to come up with something using those assets that wouldn't get them sued, they got sued anyway and here we are.
Honestly, better Beth realized something couldn't work out like they would like and cancel it, than keep it on life support and release it half assed years later.

orr
oooor
or possibly
They could have payed the original team what they were legitimately owed and release Skyrim in space, with way better fucking mechanics.
Might have been profitable, since that's pretty much what people were asking for; god forbid they actually get it.
Perhaps it will be continued at new 3d realms or something.
Well, we'll miss you Prey 2. I saw the demo at Eurogamer all those years ago, liked what I saw, received the t-shirt.
Let's hope someone else decides to make a game that turns out like what Prey 2 was gonna be, taking high-stakes bounty hunting to an alien metropolis.
This makes me really sad, I remember being hyped as fuck for this.
-nevermind, joke sucked-
I was looking forward to Prey II but I pretty much knew it was never coming out so I didn't let myself get hyped about it. Whatever Arkane is working on in lieu should be pretty neat.
Bethesda kills another series.
Frig! And I still need to find myself a Steam-compatible key for the first one...

Weird, I got my copy of skyrim a day before official release and I never got any insert.
Also this game would probably have ended up horribly because bethesda can't handle big projects that are out of their comfort zone. Hell, they can't even handle big projects that are right into their typical domain.
I knew it was coming... But it still hurts.
Isn't Arkane Austin still working on their version? This announcement simply says the Human Head version was canned.

Not sure about Arkane Austin but the original dev team is working on a science fiction themed system shock spiritual successor at the moment, they polled people for a preferred setting a while back.

A series of one game so far?
People keep cancelling all the cool space bounty hunter games. This is messed up.
Bethesda is dead to me...
