Many gamers remember the history of Prey 2 with sadness. The sequel of the famous shooter from 2006 attracted a lot of attention in its time and was remembered by an incredibly spectacular trailer with a chase on a futuristic lunar station.

Development of the game began immediately after the release of Prey, but, like the first part, it fell into a production hell, from which it could not get out? and in 2014 Bethesda decided to close the project, and in 2017 came out the eponymous game from Arkane Studios, which was incredibly good, but had nothing in common with the tittle from Human Head Studios.

Here's What We Know

Suddenly videos with footage of cancelled Prey 2, published on David Halsted's YouTube channel, began to spread in the network. Of course, now they have no practical value, but they allow us to understand what kind of game Human Head Studios was working on and what gamers were deprived of.

Although the shown videos show the game in its raw form, we can't help but notice that it looks cool and if such a shooter was released in the 2010s - it would have had all chances of success.

Let's dive into nostalgia and see the footage of the cancelled Prey 2.
