[UPDATE]

Typhon Hunter and Transtar VR are coming December 11. Free for owners of Mooncrash and/or owners of Prey Deluxe Edition. Typhon Hunter is also going to be playable in VR sometime in 2019.

Not sure if posted already, but it seems like it's indeed Typhon Hunter, and it's coming out December 11.

PREY is about to be my GOTY 2 years running. Mooncrash counts as 2018, right?

[EDIT 2: a staff member from Arkane has confirmed that there will be private matches as well as matchmaking/quick play for Typhon Hunter. Good news for people who want to set up sessions with friends only!][/QUOTE]

I will support almost anything they do given what I thought was going to be a throw away roguelike mode became one of my favorite things of 2018.

I'm afraid we will probably get more DLC as opposed to a full sequel despite how incredible the first game was. Seriously it was incredible.

Seems a bit early for a full sequel imo. My bet would be either a new DLC for Prey 2017 or even a potential Switch port.

I'm not falling for this again after how they teased a story expansion for months then dropped a roguelike DLC on us at E3. I'm still upset about that.

It's probably that multiplayer thing they were supposedly working on for Prey. Don't go in expecting anything more than that and you won't be disappointed.

Mooncrash is the best DLC ever made. I am down for whatever Arkane does next.

Literally nothing but your own expectations was saying it'd be story-based and being a roguelike doesn't mean there's no story (and there is one in Mooncrash.)

Give us more Prey
I enjoyed Mooncrash and I hate Rogue-like stuff. What a superb experience Prey was all around

Same thoughts, honestly I haven't played Mooncrash and will get to it once I can, but I was definitely disappointed when the reveal was that it wasn't a Story DLC, I was so hyped for something like that.

Anyways, hopefully some years down the line we get a Prey sequel, one of the best games this generation.

If this is an actual thing then it will be the announcement of the TGAs for me. I still need to play through Mooncrash though!

So Prey's twitter account posted this today.



It's been confirmed that Typhon Hunter and the PREY VR Exprience(s?) that were announced back at E3 2018 are still coming out this year. (And if you've not played Mooncrash yet, you should.)

I can't remember the location/scene from the twitter clip being a part of any pre-existing PREY media and it doesn't look like an in-game location from the main game or Mooncrash. The clip itself looks like a high-quality cinematic render of some kind, the stuff you'd expect a slick out-of-house VFX studio to produce. Similar to how PREY's original E3 2017 reveal trailer was slickly produced.

The PREY subreddit community is theorizing the same thing: a TGA reveal of some kind. Here's hoping!

Isn't this video an Alien reference?

I'm still sad the game didn't do well. Such a cool and unique game. They don't make these kind of games anymore :(

If I wasn't clear in the OP, I'm thinking that, yes, this will be the proper reveal of Typhon Hunter and VR stuff.

Also, for folks saying that they're disappointed that Mooncrash isn't story-focused, I'd argue that it does have its own story -- just that it's not immediately connected to Morgan Yu's story on Talos 1. It expands the PREY universe, if you will. It has 5 characters with their own unique stories that you'll slowly learn as you play. It also has the overarching narrative of "Operator" who you (outside the game, proper) control, who then controls each of the 5 characters inside the (in-game) simulation. Mooncrash itself makes a very compelling argument for what the Immersive Sim genre can be, moving forward, when fused with RL elements and shorter narratives and play session times.

I'll support anything they throw at us, honestly. It seems a bit early for a sequel, especially since the original game didn't do so well, but anything like Mooncrash would be fantastic.

Ah I didn't know it already had a name (the hunter thing).

I mean I hope it's a proper sequel and all that but with how bad it sold I just can't see it happening.

I loved Mooncrash (Even though the ending was really weak). Nothing about Typhon Hunter or VR interest me, so while I'll hope it's something different, it's probably just that.

Hoping for at least a SP expansion. I still haven't played Mooncrash, because I'm continuously adding to my backlog and keep forgetting about it.

Prey on Switch?

It is a fun have that I need to play more of, but I don't have a lot of time for it.

Hmm...I really enjoyed Prey, but I feel like it's pretty much a wrap for immersive sims at the moment. I hope I'm wrong.

Sure, I'll take any more Prey content I can get.
Bethesda should just release Human Head's Prey 2 for shits and giggles at some point

There's lots of smaller scale Immersive Sim-style experiences to look forward to.
Void Bastards, DUSK, System Shock 3, Blackout Club (kinda?), The Long Dark (kinda?), that ongoing project from the team (one guy?) who worked on Consortium: The Tower, etc. Here's an interesting article from PC Gamer about the "future" of Immersive Sims, if you're interested.

Underworld Ascendant was released not too long ago but it's been a bit of a disappointment. I'm still hopeful that updates could improve it a bit though.

A small part of me kind of thinks that FO76 also plays closer to an Immersive Sim than ever before now as well, even though I hesitate to plant it firmly in the genre. Everyone's already dead (hah!), lots of storytelling through notes, audio logs, the environment itself, etc. Crafting, survival elements, etc.

I'd probably have a heart attack if they released the remaining experiences, announced a new roguelike expansion like Mooncrash, and a sequel to Prey. Like I would probably expire. Mooncrash is so so good, and I love Prey.

Prey is ripe for a best in generation DLC like Minerva's End. Prey is a masterpiece that I think of more fondly as the months go on.

I'd love to get back to Prey so this is pretty good timing. I haven't done the DLC yet, and I wasn't even aware they were doing a VR "experience". TBH I'm kinda wary of what sort of "experience" it'll be since what little E3 coverage I checked seemed like it was a very limited thing, probably just something they've played with internally for R&D and decided to put out as free DLC. It would be interesting if the whole game could be played in VR with proper touch controller support. Doesn't seem like that's happening though.

Could be an expansion. I don't think the game does well enough to justify a full blown sequel.

Prey and Deus Ex are two franchises that desperately need a sequel at some point. I'll keep waiting.

I would love even a tease at a new game, but it is likely just upcoming content. I thought the mimic hunt mode was added with Mooncrash.
