Prey picks up early May release date and foreboding new gameplay trailer

If you've been looking forward to getting your hands on the upcoming Prey reboot, you now have a date to look forward to: May 5. Bethesda announced the release date for the Xbox One, PC, and PS4 shooter alongside a brand-new gameplay trailer that may leave you with a feeling of both excitement and dread. Check it out below:

Prey's gameplay takes place in the year 2032 aboard the Talos I, a space station that orbits the moon. You're a part of an experiment meant to "alter humanity forever," Bethesda says. And, as as you'd probably suspect when "altering humanity" is involved, things take a giant turn for the worse as you end up fighting for your life against aggressive aliens that have overrun the station.

Along with the release date and new trailer, Bethesda also revealed that anyone who pre-orders will get an exclusive Cosmonaut Shotgun Pack. The bonus pre-order pack also includes extra items like Neuromods, medkits, a starter kit for building tools and weapons, and more.

Will you be checking out Prey when it launches on May 5? For now, you can pre-order the game ahead of time, but let us know what you're looking forward to most when the game launches.
