Announced in today's Mooncrash Monday stream, release information on the free multiplayer update to owners of PREY: Mooncrash; Typhon Hunter, will be coming very soon. Here's what we know about it so far.

Typhon Hunter Details

The mode is a 5v1 game of hide'n'seek with a horrifying twist. One person takes on the role of the lone Morgan Yu, while five other players wreak mischief as the iconic shape-shifting mimics. They are free to transform into any of the many physics objects scattered around the currently unknown location(s?) of this mode. Morgan's goal is to find all five Mimics and kill them before the timer runs out, and the Mimics, their goal is to outlast Morgan. They have about 20 seconds to find a convincing spot to hide in, before Morgan is dropped into the game. Morgan is initially armed with a single wrench, but may run into a silenced pistol or special mimic-detecting psychoscope along the way. All object locations have been seeded to be a little bit random every time you play, so no experience will be quite the same. The matchmaking has been confirmed to be peer-to-peer and IT WILL STILL BE COMING OUT BEFORE THE END OF 2018!

Discord Server Reminder

We have Discord server in place for a way of fans of Prey to connect in a way that isn't quite possible here on reddit, and with Typhon Hunter dropping soon it's going to be more useful than ever. With several dedicated text and voice channels, you'll be able to chat instantaneously with fellow enthusiasts and hunters alike, with a special role that lets you quickly notify anyone up for a game. I look forward to meeting and hopefully playing with some of you! Join us using this link: https://discordapp.com/invite/ZWZJNgt. Make sure to share it around!

Special New VR Experiences

Owners of a VR headset will also be pleased to hear that along with Typhon Hunter being fully playable in Virtual Reality, several exclusive "Transtar VR escape rooms" starting with one set inside Morgan's Office, will be included in the same Mooncrash package. These locations are also specially made, and feature plenty of fun puzzles and objects for you to interact with.

So, share your excitement, opinions and any questions yu might have in the comments of this thread!

Prey: Mooncrash – Typhon Hunter Coming Soon

The free multiplayer Typhon Hunter update to Prey: Mooncrash is just around the corner. On December 11, you’ll be able to experience the game in a completely new way – with other people!

The free multiplayer Typhon Hunter update to Prey: Mooncrash is just around the corner. On December 11, you’ll be able to experience the game in a completely new way – with other people! Take the tense, treacherous world of Prey, throw in some asymmetrical multiplayer, and you’ve got a recipe for some serious jump scares. In addition to Typhon Hunter, the TranStar VR escape room mode will also be available on December 11. Check out the new Typhon Hunter trailer, and get more details on the new modes below.

TYPHON HUNTER
Imagine playing hide-and-seek. Now, imagine that your friends who are hiding from you are actually killer aliens. That’s the new Typhon Hunter multiplayer mode. One person hops into a match as Morgan Yu, and up to five others will play as shape-shifting Mimics. When your opponent can transform into nearly any object in your world, even the most mundane thing is a potential threat.

Each match begins with a period of prep time that the Mimic players can use to strategize, hide or prepare for an ambush. After that, the hunt is on. Morgan’s goal is simple: Kill all the Mimics before the time runs out, using only a Wrench or Pistol. The Mimics must stay alive however they can. They can stay hidden and wait it out, or they can try to take Morgan down.
Going on the offensive is risky for the Mimics, as they only have one life. But killing Morgan runs down the clock and gives the Mimics a bit of time to regroup while they wait for Morgan to respawn. As the Mimics, you’ll be able to use the environment to confound and surround the opposing player. There are endless strategies and places to hide in familiar Talos I locations like the Yellow Tulip Karaoke Bar or Morgan’s office.

Typhon Hunter will also be playable in VR, which will release as a free update to the game in early 2019.


TRANSTAR VR
TranStar VR is a single-player escape room mode designed exclusively for VR, and it is included in the Typhon Hunter update. Set just days before the events of Prey, TranStar VR puts you in the shoes of various TranStar employees, solving puzzles in some of the most memorable locations on Talos I. Each map will have its own unique story and objective.

MORGAN’S OFFICE
Play as Morgan Yu in this map, testing a prototype for a new invention called the Nullwave Device. This device may be the key to protecting humanity from the Typhon aliens, but you’ll need to use all the available scientific gadgetry in the correct sequence to get it working.

SIM LABS
In the Sim Labs you are Dr. Calvino, the genius behind the Looking Glass technology. It’s with this tech that you will convince Morgan Yu he is still in his apartment on Earth – but there are some kinks to work out and you’re the only person who can fix them.

YELLOW TULIP
As Abigail Foy, you receive a message from Danielle Sho asking you to meet her at the Yellow Tulip after hours. But the Yellow Tulip is empty when you arrive, and all you can find is a mysterious sequence of clues and puzzles for you to follow. Who knows what’s really waiting for you?

As an added bonus, the TranStar VR mode also grants you VR access to the expanded TranStar Museum, inspired by the museum in the Talos I lobby. From spacesuits and Neuromods, to weapons and several Typhon aliens, this is your chance to get a very up-close-and-personal look at some of the most memorable props from the game. While in the museum, you can also take an interactive tour and learn about the history of TranStar and Talos I, all told through a TranStar lens, of course.

Typhon Hunter and TranStar VR are both free updates to the Prey: Mooncrash DLC or the Prey: Digital Deluxe edition, both of which are available now.

My guess would be taking stuff for granted, and it finally caught up with them and now they are in total chock.

I was poking around the reviews focusing entirely on the VR stuff and I'm getting mixed signals. Since it's "only" about 8gb as a separate download, I'll try to give it a whirl on my HTC Vive tomorrow.

They should post the beta combat theme already, along with instructions to use it in-game, it was way less annoying than the final version.

Do you have some footage that featured the beta music? I remember it being different, but I don't know where to look. There was this 8 minutes of gameplay shown in December 2016, but combat with the Phantom is brief and sonically chaotic, and the Mimics just have a bunch of placeholder musical stings.

There's some videos out there where the music gets glitched on and you can hear it for longer, but this is all I could find quickly, sounds way better to me
