Kotaku has what are purportedly internal Bethesda Softworks emails saying Arkane Austin is working on a rebooted version of Prey 2, the shooter sequel that was declared "delayed," "not cancelled"," and "in limbo" over the course of last year. More recently, there was a rumor in May that Arkane was the new developer on the game followed by word a few weeks later that Human Head's version of the game was complete, but was not up to Bethesda's quality standards. According to Kotaku's allegedly leaked emails, Arkane Austin is working on a reboot of Prey 2 that they pitched as a "spiritual successor to System Shock 3," which is weird, because there is no System Shock 3. They seem quite upset that Bethesda might be unwilling to reveal their internal plans ahead of schedule in denying this rumor, puzzling "Why mislead the public like this?" They still show willingness to trust again, though, reaching out to Bethesda for more comment and receiving this reply: "We aren’t talking about what Arkane is working on and we have no new information to share on Prey 2."
