    [​IMG]Arkane's Ricardo Bare talked with GamesIndustry.biz about Prey:

    "It's not a sequel," Bare said. "It's not fictionally connected. It's like, movies and books come out that have the same title all the time that have nothing to do with each other... I would not see it as a Prey game. I would see it as a game from Arkane that is called Prey. The name is a really good name, and that's the part that matters."

Bare acknowledged that 2007's BioShock sparked the genre in a big way, but prior to that, Arkane was one of a handful of studios carrying the torch with titles like Arx Fatalis and Dark Messiah of Might & Magic. When asked why the genre fell out of favor for a stretch, Bare said it was at least partly because immersive sims are just really difficult to make.
