Tommy Returns in Prey 2
The protagonist from the first game to play a big role in the sequel.
At a glance Prey 2 is quite a bit different than its predecessor. It's still a first-person shooter, but stars a new protagonist, Killian Samuels, is set in a vastly different environments and is structured in a new way. Instead of a linear corridor shooter through the gurgling corridors of an alien ship, the sequel is set in open-world style environments across urban alien sprawls on a planet called Exodus.
The drastic shift in style and setting between games doesn't mean all elements are being left behind. Tommy, the protagonist from the original adventure, is back in Prey 2. According to Human Head's Chris Rhinehart, he's meant to play a significant role. "He's a character that you encounter many times throughout the game. It's not just a single cameo where he shows up and takes off. He's integral to the story and events on Exodus. One of the big things is, the unique abilities that Tommy has, specifically spirit walk and death walk, are integral to his role and how he actually fits into the story."
According to Rhinehart, it was part of the plan to include Tommy as soon as work on Prey 2 began. "When we started we didn't want to reveal Tommy initially. We wanted to hold it back and make it a surprise for people that Tommy is still an important part of the game."
So why not make Tommy the main character in Prey 2? "Really what it comes down to is we wanted to tell other stories in the Prey universe. We wanted to expand it and show the breadth of this universe that we were creating. New character, different mechanics, new visuals, but Tommy is still a critical character."

Dafür scheine ich jetzt Gewissheit zu haben, dass meine Ur-Sendung jetzt wirklich nie bei mir ankommen wird. Hoffentlich kriege ich wenigstens das Geld wieder.
