Prey 2 trailer throws down the gauntlet for cool

By Ryan Fleming June 3, 2011

After the release of the original Prey, developer Human Head Studios announced that they were already hard at work on a sequel. That was five years ago. The rights were acquired by ZeniMax in 2008, but since then there hasn’t been much talk about the game. The sequel was confirmed to still be on the way, and earlier this year it was confirmed for a 2012 release, but we haven’t really seen much more about it. E3 should take care of that.

We still don’t know too much about the game’s details, but none of that really matters at the moment because the trailer is awesome. Just watch it.

Prey 2 will be released sometime in 2012 for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2: release date, trailers, gameplay, and more

Senua stares at a burning tree in Hellblade 2.

Given how impressive Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice was, it seemed inevitable that there would be a sequel. The game, despite being made independently by Ninja Theory, blew even the highest-budget games on the market out of the water in terms of graphical fidelity and storytelling. Microsoft realized this potential as well and purchased the studio to provide a bigger budget to the team for the eventual sequel and to secure it as a console exclusive for its then-unreleased Xbox Series X and S systems.

Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 was one of the earliest games shown off for the Xbox Series X and S, and was even initially thought to be one of the system's launch titles. That didn't come to pass, but the team has taken that extra time to craft this sequel into something that looks to be even more impressive than the original. Between the first Game Awards event where the game was announced and the latest footage we've seen, we have a very solid understanding of the important details surrounding this sequel. We have all the information you need to know about Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2.

The biggest gaming news of 2023: Insomniac leak, GTA 6 reveal, and more

Lucia and her partner rob a store in GTA 6.

2023 was a roller coaster for the video games industry. On the software side, it was a historic year for new releases. We got everything from big success stories like Baldur's Gate 3 and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to memorable indies in Venba and Chants of Sennaar. But from the business side, 2023 was a lot more tumultuous. While some notable studio acquisitions and game announcements happened, thousands of developers were laid off, entire studios were shut down or hacked, and the provider of one of the most popular game engines landed in hot water after trying to roll out a controversial change.

The most notable gaming news stories of 2023 run the gamut from genuinely exciting to thoroughly disappointed. That speaks to a video game industry bound to head into an odd 2024 that lacks the known quantity bombshells of this year and continues to reel from layoffs. In last year's iteration of this article, my editor said that the 2020s are shaping up to be "the most pivotal decade in gaming history when all is said and done." If this year is anything to go by, that will almost certainly be true. These were the gaming stories that defined 2023, for better and much worse.

E3 needed to end, but its demise is a net negative for the gaming industry

It's official: E3 is dead.

For over two decades, the Electronic Entertainment Expo was the video game industry's most important event. For enthusiastic gamers, it was Christmas and the Super Bowl rolled into one trailer-full event. It served a more important role on the business side, as it was a key way for smaller developers to get their games seen and make deals with publishers. Now, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) announced it's formally retiring the once powerful event for good. It is, quite literally, the end of an era.
