Prey 2 Finally Confirmed, First Casting Talk Report Breaks A Major Franchise Tradition
After years of speculation and rumors, Bethesda Softworks has finally confirmed the development of Prey 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed first-person shooter Prey. The announcement was met with widespread excitement from fans of the series, who have been eagerly awaiting news on the game’s status.
But in a surprising twist, the first casting talk report has broken a major franchise tradition, sending shockwaves through the gaming community. According to sources close to the production, the role of the game’s protagonist, Morgan Yu, will be played by none other than actress Laura Bailey, best known for her work as Kanan Jarrus in Star Wars Rebels.
This is a significant departure from the previous Prey games, which have traditionally featured male protagonists. In fact, the original Prey’s protagonist, Tommy Hirsch, was played by actor Jeff Schine, while the 2017 reboot’s protagonist, Morgan Yu, was played by actor Jesse Brentson.
Laura Bailey’s casting marks a major milestone for the Prey franchise, which has always been known for its bold storytelling and innovative gameplay. Bailey, a talented voice actress with a wealth of experience in the industry, is well-equipped to bring Morgan Yu to life in a way that will resonate with fans of the series.
"It’s an honor to be a part of the Prey franchise," Bailey said in a statement. "I’m excited to dive into the world of Prey and explore the complex and thrilling story that the developers have crafted. I’m looking forward to bringing Morgan Yu to life and making her a memorable and inspiring protagonist for fans of the series."
The confirmation of Prey 2 and Bailey’s casting comes as a welcome surprise to fans of the series, who have been patiently waiting for news on the game’s status. The original Prey was released in 2006 to critical acclaim, and its 2017 reboot received widespread praise for its innovative gameplay and immersive storyline.
With Bailey on board, fans of the series can expect a new level of depth and complexity from the protagonist, as well as a fresh perspective on the Prey universe. The casting news has already generated significant buzz among fans and gaming media outlets, with many praising the decision to feature a female protagonist in the game.
Prey 2 is currently in development for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, with a release date yet to be announced. Fans of the series can expect more information on the game in the coming months, including a first look at the game’s story, gameplay, and characters.
In the meantime, the announcement of Prey 2 and Laura Bailey’s casting has sent a clear message to fans of the series: the franchise is back, and it’s better than ever.
