Prey is finally up for preorder on Xbox One after we got a concrete release date. It seems like that is the rule Microsoft adheres to when putting games up for preorder because lately I’ve noticed a trend. The minute the release date for a game is announced, it goes up for preorder. The same applied to Mass Effect: Andromeda and Injustice 2.
Prey pits you against vicious aliens. When you awaken aboard Talos I, an immense space station orbiting the moon in the year 2032, you find yourself as the key subject of an experiment meant to alter humanity forever—but things have gone terribly wrong. The space station has been overrun by hostile aliens and you are now being hunted. As you dig into the dark secrets of Talos I and your own past, you must survive using the tools found on the station, your wits, weapons, and mind-bending abilities to defeat the Typhon alien.
