　　What we heard: In 2005, 3D Realms and Take-Two officially revived Prey after the property had spent roughly 10 years in limbo. Developed by Human Head Studios (Rune) for the PC and Venom Games (Rocky: Legends) for the Xbox 360, Prey's reception, while not exactly cold, was underwhelming given its decade-long development.

　　Sales of the extraterrestrial-invasion-themed shooter weren't exactly out of this world--319,000 units across all platforms in the US, according to the latest figures from the NPD Group. Nonetheless, 3D Realms chief Scott Miller said in a 2007 FiringSquad interview that a sequel for the game had been "mapped out...from a high-level story standpoint."

　　Further evidence that 3D Realms is prepping a Prey sequel surfaced today via a now-pulled page on the Web site for the Radar Group, a new IP creation and migration specialty company helmed by 3D Realms founder Scott Miller and Jim Perkins. Shacknews reports that earlier today, the site listed several projects in the works at Radar Group, including 3D Realms' Prey 2, Recoil Games' Earth No More, third-person adventure game Incarnate, and two unannounced titles.

　　Of Prey 2, the site gave a brief description of the game as well as an initial concept drawing. "This time, abandoned and framed for the disappearance of his family, Tommy escapes an Earth that no longer wants him for a future that cannot survive without him," reads the description (as related by Shacknews). The game was reportedly listed for release on the Xbox 360 and PC, though no developer was attached to the project.

　　As for the likely suspects, Human Head Studios announced in February 2007 that it would be teaming with fashion mogul Mark Ecko on an all-original action game, right before the developer's Madison, Wisconsin, offices burned down two months later. The studio currently has no other announced projects in the oven, as it were. Venom Games is currently at work on Take-Two's Don King-endorsed pugilist sim Prizefighter. As for 3D Realms developing the game internally, the developer's Web site clearly states that only one project is in development at any one time, and that project is currently Duke Nukem Forever.

　　The official story: Take-Two, Human Head, and 3D Realms all had not responded to requests for comment as of press time.

　　Bogus or not bogus?: Radar Group's knee-jerk reaction of pulling the site makes this look not bogus.
