I noticed that on Doomguy's shelf there's a book named "2 Prey or Not 2 Prey"
Now ofcourse it might just be reference to Prey, but I think this pretty much confirms a Prey 2 is in development. LET'S GO!

There's also a HL reference on that shelf

"Mesa Science Monthly: Predicting Unforeseen Consequences"

That book title also fits Doomguys character and the religious themes, to change pray to prey, but who knows? I would love a new Prey from Arkane.

You make a big deal about a reference that I am unsure is meant to be a sequel tease and haven't noticed yet that Markiplier's dad is immortalized through the first book's title?

Figures.

feels like its just an easter egg

especially since there are 2 Prey's already, to me sounds like a joke referencing that

I doubt it, they're just a bunch of books with various half-assed literary references mixed with Bethesda IP references

It's possible, but then they are making hints at so many games from id Software, Bethesda, and even Epic Games and others while they're at it. I don't see it as a direct callback to the fact a new Prey is being made, because they also hint at a new Quake, Fallout, Commander Keen or Rage then.

It's probably an easter-egg, but I would love to see Human Head Studios delivering their own original vision of Prey 2. They were aquired by Bethesda after all, so who knows, maybe there is a chance.

I think it is quite the opposite, given the huge amount of trouble that both Prey 1 (2006) and 2 encountered during production. There is also a Daikatana book there, and I'm sure that isn't being teased (though I do have a soft spot for that game).

It is just games that the original id employees went on to help develop. Tom Hall, John Romero, etc.

I'd imagine it's more of a dig at Bethesda on the whole Prey 2 fiasco. All the easter eggs on the bookshelf are pretty neat.

Seems like it's just a bunch of references to games made by Bethesda studios.

This is Bloodborne 2 confirmed in Deracine all over again.

Seems unlikely given Prey's poor sales performance. Don't see a straight sequel; maybe something more GaaS oriented if anything.

It is just an easter egg.

Hopefully they do release Prey 2 though. That game looked awesome and I am mad Bethesda pulled that shit with HH. Now that they ironically own them, I hope they end up releasing it along with a port of the original.
