When Human Head Studios sent along the help wanted
we posted
earlier, it got us to wondering about the status of
Prey 2, the sequel
the Radar Group
announced last year for Human Head's 2006
first-person shooter. At the time Radar Group said the sequel "is currently
being developed in cooperation with Human Head studios," so we asked Human Head
about this, and they indicated that they have not announced Prey 2, and the
Radar Group would be in a better position to answer our questions. Completely
coincidentally,
superannuation just linked to a pair of blog posts (which have since been
removed) from a Human Head employee; One is an older post saying employees were
taking week-long unpaid furloughs to help with cash flow since they had no
current projects, and the other is a more recent post saying they just signed a
contract for a major title, further indications that they were not working on
Prey 2. We contacted Radar Group to ask about the status of Prey 2, but 24 hours
later are yet to receive a reply, so we can just share what Human Head had to
say:
Unfortunately, we can't comment on the status of Prey 2,
other than to say that we've never announced that it has been in development, so
I'm not sure the starting assumption is actually valid.
However, we obviously have a strong attachment to the project, and it's
certainly something we're very interested in developing.
