New York, NY - July 11, 2006 - 2K, a publishing label of
Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), and 3D
Realms today announced that the first-person shooter Prey is
now available in stores across North America and will be
available at stores in Europe on July 14. Developed by Human
Head Studios and created and produced by 3D Realms, Prey is
available for Xbox 360 video game and entertainment
system from Microsoft and PC in both regular and Limited
Collector's editions. A groundbreaking first-person shooter,
Prey raises the bar and turns the genre upside-down with
awesome new gameplay features and next generation graphics.
Breaking the traditional first-person shooter format, Prey
introduces innovative gameplay elements including wall-walking,
portals, spirit-walking and gravity flipping, making it one of
the most anticipated games of 2006. Players can enhance the
experience with multi-player options that include eight player
deathmatch that will have both hearts and trigger fingers
racing. "Prey revitalizes the first-person shooter genre with a
new dimension of features including portal tactics and 360
degrees of gravity manipulating combat in an aggressive living
environment," said Christoph Hartmann, President, 2K. "Prey is
this summer's definitive next generation game." Prey tells the
story of Tommy, a Cherokee garage mechanic stuck on a
reservation and going nowhere. His life changes when an
otherworldly crisis forces him to awaken spiritual powers from
his long-forgotten birthright. Abducted along with his people
to a menacing mothership orbiting Earth, he sets out to save
himself and his girlfriend and ultimately his planet. A Limited
Collector's Edition is also available, which includes pewter
figurines of Tommy and Hunter, the Art of Prey illustrated
booklet, a free soundtrack download and more. Players can also
sample Prey with a free demo available for PC at major gaming
and download sites, and for Xbox 360 on Xbox Live®
Marketplace. Prey for Xbox 360 and PC is rated "M" for mature
