‘Alien Noire’ Website Possibly Teasing Prey 2, Definitely Counting Down

NeoGaf user EatChildren spotted website “aliennoire.com,” and upon inspection of its source code, found references to “Prey 2,” “Bethesda,” and “Human Head.”

Unfortunately, those references to Prey 2, Bethesda, and Human Head have since been removed. Only “Alien Noire” remains, along with a line at the very bottom that reads “Tommy needs your help,” which could be a reference to Prey protagonist Domasi “Tommy” Tawodi.

There’s also a countdown embedded within the source code that ends March 1, so whatever this is—Prey 2, something new—the reveal is soon.

Prey 2 was acquired by ZeniMax Media in 2009. It remains listed on Human Head Studio’s website as a project in development.
