New Prey Trailer Shows Off A Power That Turns You Into A Roll Of Toilet Paper Or An Apple

Bethesda has released a new trailer for Prey, the upcoming shooter developed by Arkane Studios.

The video spotlights the powers and abilities that players can make use of to fight off the evil alien forces. Not only do players have "upgradeable human-based abilities," but they can also acquire abilities from the Typhon aliens themselves and use the powers against them. One of these is called Mimic Madness--it looks and sounds pretty cool and unique.

"One of the first powers you'll learn is Mimic Matter," Bethesda said in a blog post. "Acquired from the diminutive (and aptly named) Mimic Typhon, this power allows you to take the form of just about any appropriately sized object aboard Talos I.

"You'll start small--a coffee mug, a teapot, a lamp, a banana--but as you level up this ability, you'll soon be able to mimic more complex objects, including an impressive array of security turrets and Operator robots."

Prey is due out on May 5 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. It's in development at Arkane's Austin, Texas studio, which is separate from its team responsible for the Dishonored games. In other news, Arkane recently confirmed that the game will have a "wide variance" of endings.
