(Footage captured on PS5)
It used to be called Prey to the Gods but they got a C&D from Zenimax (because of Prey) so they changed it.
How is this even a thing. Especially when the word is only used as part of a longer completely different sentence. Just seems absurd a C&D can be sent for this sort of thing, likewise with God's and Monsters.
Totally forgot about this.
Seems it changed A LOT visually from what I remember years ago.

DualSense support is great. If this is as good as everyone is saying it is, it could turn into a seller in its own right.
This has been on Early Access on Steam for a year.

Praey For The Gods review (early access)
Praey For The God's developers have a keener understanding than most of what made their favourite games work so well.

Praey for the Gods, a spiritual successor to Shadow of the Colossus, has us hooked
The early access title already has plenty of polish

Impressions seem to be good so far.
Homage?
Just Prey. They've literally just added an A to avoid Bethesda.
Oh well that's how you read Præy too. Since they didn't use that character, i thought it was read different.
Meh, you've got to protect your IP or you lose it. It sucks but that's how things work. Things set precedent and then someone comes along with a game called Prey Too and you can't do anything about it because there are multiple other Prey games around. It is what it is.
They (Praey For The Gods) had the name for years at this point anyway so it's not like it's troubled their launch. I think this name change happened in 2017? Very early into development.
These things happen all the time and will always happen.
Been waiting for this one for a while! It's still stupid that they had to change their name due to Prey. There was no consumer confusion. Anyways, this looks way better than I ever thought they would get with such a small team. Nice work!
god damn why have I never heard of this? Looks so good. I'm hopeful. As a big Zelda and Colossus fan I've got to try this
oh what the fuck
same shit happen when Mojang announced Scrolls, now title Caller's Bane. Bethesda/Zenimax had them change it.
Yeah, had a Kickstarter in 2016. Been available in Early Access on Steam since early last year I think.
Which is surprising because this game was okay.
(Back in 2008, but still)
A C&D can be sent for damn near anything. It's unlikely it would hold up in court, but that's what a big corporation is banking on; that the smaller company will make the necessary changes rather than deem it worthy to spend the time and money to fight it in court.

I don't think Bethesda bought the IP until 2010/2011? I think by 2008 2k had given up on it. Not surprised nobody gave a shit.
I don't know, seems very close to SOTC is somebody getting sued for this? I mean I love the original but this looks very similar.
They could try and dispute it, however that would take time and cost money. Sometimes it's easier to just change the name than get into protracted legal proceedings.
When protecting a trademark it is important to be seen to be actively protecting your rights and challenging similar usage. My understanding is that if you are shown to knowingly let others use the same or similar terms it can dilute the value of the trademark and potentially have it fall into common usage and invalidate it completely. Therefore it isn't always a challenge on the specific usage, but simply trying to protect and ensure the value in the trademark.
