No Matter Studios and Bethesda seem to have gotten into conflict over the word ‘Prey’, which is being used in the former’s upcoming title Prey for the Gods. Bethesda is also releasing a game called Prey which has apparently trademarked the word ‘Prey’. The indie studio has announced that they will be changing the name of their game to Praey for the Gods. You can read the official newsletter announcement below: Oh yea that… so we didn’t want to do this but we had to change our game name from Prey for the Gods to Praey for the Gods. Thankfully we get to keep the logo but we will spell it “Praey for the Gods”. Honestly, we could make this entire newsletter about our thoughts on this.

Prey for the Gods is a brutal journey set on a desolate frozen island, where your only chance of survival is to destroy the very gods you believe in. In Prey for the Gods, you play a lone hero sent to the edge of a dying world to discover the mystery behind a never-ending winter. Arriving with only the clothes on your back, you must survive the colossal dangers that you encounter. To restore balance and reclaim the land from the brink, you will be faced with questions that not even a God knows the answer to. The trailer shows the hero fight against giants (possibly the gods), and its very reminiscent of Shadow of the Colossus. We have high hopes for the game, and will be bringing you more news soon.
