[UPDATE:Prey 2 debut trailer]Prey 2 is in development..

Cover of French magazine Joystick hit the web and revealed something.....unexpected. A sequel to the portal-like FPS game Prey is in the works and bethesda made the official announcement.

Bethesda sure is one busy company and i didn't think a Prey sequel would come to light.The company recently acquired the Prey franchise from 2k games in 2009 and is aiming for a 2012 release on Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC. Development of Prey 2 is still being handled by the original team, Human Head Studios, and is using the id tech engine. id tech 4 might be the engine for Prey 2 sine They apparently have been in development for quite some time now so the use of the latest id tech 5 engine(the game engine powering rage) was never an option.

No other information about the game but at least Prey fans now have something to look forward to.

[UPDATE]: HumanHead Studio's just released a debut trailer of Prey 2. It's a live-action trailer and has no gameplay footage. Not too thrilled by the trailer but enjoy.

InFamous 2 User-Generated Content Beta

Sucker Punch has unleashed the beta test details for its user-generated content component in inFamous 2.  You have from now until March 21 to sign up for the beta here. Of course they won’t be accepting everyone so do yourself a favor and jump on this ASAP. The people chosen will be notified in ”early April” by the development studio.

You’ll also have to register for the site and all that hoopla which is understandable I suppose, and I’m sure you can’t wait to read the sweaty love letters you get sent.

As an additional bonus Sucker Punch will be choosing the best user-generated content and providing them with the game as ”Sucker Punch Selections” when the game is released. So not only can you get into the beta, you have the chance of having your handywork spread far and wide. I wouldn’t expect a revenue check though…always read the fine print.
