Prey Demo to Hit Consoles a Week Before Game’s Launch

ByChris McMullen 12 April 2017

Upcoming alien shooter Prey is to get a demo on April 27th, a week before the game is released.

Prey, published by Bethesda Softworks and developed by Arkane Studios, is a 3D shoot-em-up which pitches you against a hostile alien race. The twist this time around is that you’re not entirely human anymore, having gained alien powers which you can employ against your foes.

The demo, which will be available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, will let you play the first hour of the game. As yet, there’s no word on a PC demo.

Prey is released on May 5th on the PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The demo drops a week earlier on April 27th.

Chris has been gaming since the days of the Acorn Electron, which was allegedly purchased to 'help him with his homework'. You can probably guess how well that went. He’ll tackle most genres – football titles aside – though he has a taste for games that that are post-apocalyptic, horror-oriented or thought provoking in nature.
