Bethesda and Arkane Studios are still hard at work on the new Prey title, and to prove it, they’ve released a brand new trailer for the game which digs into the backstory somewhat.
This new retro cartoon-style, Prey ? The History of TranStar trailer actually takes place during an alternate timeline in which the corporation’s space station, Talos I, becomes a place for performing human experiments after being used for the study of non-terrestrial life-forms. Needless to say, that kicks off some dangerous events which are outlined in the video.
Check it out below.
Prey ? The History of TranStar:
We?ve just released a new video for Prey, the first-person sci-fi action game from Arkane Studios, titled, ?The History of TranStar?. Discover more about the dark history of Talos I in this newly released alternate history video.
In the alternate future of Prey, President Kennedy survives the assassination, which sets off a turn of events leading to the central conflict. After recovering from the attempt on his life, Kennedy threw his nation further into the space race by taking control of a U.S./Russian joint program and transforming a Russian satellite into a fully functional R&D facility meant to study non-terrestrials. This facility later became Talos I, a highly advanced space station owned by the TranStar Corporation.
In the few years since TranStar took over, the station has been used as the testing ground for some morally dubious experiments, with people on board serving as subjects ? people like Morgan Yu. After awakening on Talos I, Morgan finds the station overrun by a previously contained non-terrestrial entity called Typhon, which the scientists had been studying and using to improve the scope of human abilities. Aided by strange alien-based powers, Morgan must survive the incursion, uncover the mysteries surrounding the Typhon and save humanity from the impending danger aboard the station.
Prey is slated for release in 2017 on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. Prey has not yet been rated by the ESRB. For more information about the game please visit www.prey.com.
