Bethesda officially announces Prey 2 -Updated-

More On: Prey 2
We knew this was coming from the leaked magazine cover, but Bethesda has gone and announced that they will be producing Prey 2 for 2012.

Human Head is, again, working on the game and it will be using the latest id tech engine. So, I think this might be the >first game to be announced  (Doom 4 and a new Quake game will use it also) that uses the id Tech 5 engine, but I could be wrong.

-Update- Prey 2 won't be using id Tech 5 as I previously reported. Pete Hines of Bethesda has confirmed to IGN that it will be using something else.
