New York, NY (July 11, 2006) - 2K and 3D Realms today announced that Prey is now available in stores across North America and will be available at stores in Europe on July 14.

From 2K Games:

A groundbreaking first-person shooter, Prey raises the bar and turns the genre upside-down with awesome new gameplay features and next generation graphics. Breaking the traditional first-person shooter format, Prey introduces innovative gameplay elements including wall-walking, portals, spirit-walking and gravity flipping, making it one of the most anticipated games of 2006. Players can enhance the experience with multi-player options that include eight player deathmatch that will have both hearts and trigger fingers racing.

“Prey revitalizes the first-person shooter genre with a new dimension of features including portal tactics and 360 degrees of gravity manipulating combat in an aggressive living environment,” said Christoph Hartmann, President, 2K. “Prey is this summer's definitive next generation game.”

Prey tells the story of Tommy, a Cherokee garage mechanic stuck on a reservation and going nowhere. His life changes when an otherworldly crisis forces him to awaken spiritual powers from his long-forgotten birthright. Abducted along with his people to a menacing mothership orbiting Earth, he sets out to save himself and his girlfriend and ultimately his planet.

A Limited Collector’s Edition is also available, which includes pewter figurines of Tommy and Hunter, the Art of Prey illustrated booklet, a free soundtrack download and more. Players can also sample Prey with a free demo available for PC at major gaming and download sites, and for Xbox 360 on Xbox Live Marketplace.

Prey for Xbox 360 and PC is rated “M” for mature by the ESRB. For more information on the title visit the official website at www.prey.com.
