“Prey is not a sequel, it’s not a remake, it has no tie with the original”, Arkane Studios creative director Raphael Colantonio stated in an interview recently released on Bethesda’s YouTube page, “you have to look at it like a re-imagining of the IP”.

First and foremost Colantonio makes clear that ” Prey is not a sequel, it’s not a remake, it has no tie with the original”, although there are similarities between the two.

Prey will be released on Xbox One in 2017.
