Well, what does lend some credence is that Bethesda pulled the Prey 2 demonstration that was supposed to be at GDC.

What the fuck? I thought it had a really strong showing at previous shows and looked somewhat feature complete.

Maybe they fear it will bomb like rage did?

What a shame.

Is PSFocus the only source for this? As far as I can recall they're a preeetty small and insignificant Dutch site. It seems weird for them to have the exclusive scoop on this news.

I'm skeptical as well, because it seemed to me that every time it was shown off, it just impressed people.

I hadn't really heard any bad press.

Has PSFocus had any scoops in the past? Don't recall them having any deep contacts within the industry. Something might be going on with Prey 2, but I don't trust PSFocus to break this story first in any way.

Prey 2 looks awesome as fuck. If it got cancelled, I'd bet that it was heading towards or already in development hell and they decided to pull the plug before it wasted too much money.

That's a bit of knee jerk reaction. I don't think every game needs to chase after CoD sales figures.

But just to add fuel to fire:

Perhaps they realized the game did not have the potential to be properly annualized.
