"CNN/Money's Chris Morris posted an E3 preview article in which he mentioned 
that the oft-delayed and eventually canceled Prey will resurface at this 
year's expo. 3D Realms were the original developers behind the game but it's 
now rumored that Human Head has been handling Prey, which is now being built 
using the DOOM 3 engine. Take-Two Interactive would likely publish the 
title.

Prey has been around for quite some time, having a showing back in 1997. The 
plot centered around a Native American who fought against invading alien 
forces, but Morris could not confirm if the story is the same, vaguely 
similar, or vastly different. One fan took the time to create a timeline of 
the game. We'll know soon as E3 is barely over a month away."

"The show's biggest surprise, though, will likely be the revelation of 
"Prey". Gamers first heard of "Prey" in 1997. The game, originally about a 
Native American who fights several nefarious alien races, was thought to be 
cancelled, but quietly restarted a few years ago. The new version will use 
the "Doom 3" graphics engine and is said to be a visually striking title. 
There's no word on whether the story has changed.

3D Realms, makers of the popular "Duke Nukem" series, originally worked on 
"Prey," but word is they have handed development to a third party and are 
overseeing work on the game. Take Two Interactive Software (Research) is the 
likely publisher for the game, given its relationship with 3D Realms, but 
has not made any announcements.
