Bethesda had been trying for a few months now to convince Arkane to work on the game. Last week, the tipster says, Bethesda finally forced their hand: Arkane would develop Prey 2, scrapping all the work that Human Head has done and starting from scratch, with a targeted release date of late 2016.
Some people at Arkane Austin are upset about this decision, our tipster said, but higher-ups at the company are telling the team to forget that it's called Prey 2 and just treat it like a new System Shock—the first-person PC series that inspired games like Bioshock and Arkane's last project, Dishonored.
The Prey brand carry no weight, but that Prey 2 trailer from 2010(?) did/does/something!Why not just cancel this altogether and make a new IP? It's not like the Prey brand had any weight in the first place...
The bit about it being turned into a System Shock spiritual successor is more interesting than Obsidian having been involved for a few months.

... Yeah, this is all a bit strange.
Agreed! That concept sounded very cool, albeit a bit flimsy since they didn't show that much in the end. Now it's potentially gone from just being flimsy, then MIA (presumed KIA) to full blown French Duke Nukem Forever.2011. The Alien Planet Open World (possible RPG elements) concept sounded really neat. Shame that everything went down the toilet.
Given their track record they'd make it turn basedWow, the thought of Obsidian making an FPS. Can't even imagine how bad that would be.

What gif?
I'm sure their System Shock spiritual successor will be as good as their Thief spiritual successor
