My girlfriend asked me why I carry a gun around the house, what it was that scared me. I looked her straight in the eyes and said, “Motherfucking Mimics”. She laughed, I laughed, the chair laughed.

In Prey, you’re mankind’s last – and only – hope. Using badass weapons and powers, you’ll step into the TranStar uniform of Morgan Yu and fight through an alien-infested space station to save humanity.
