Development of Prey 2 has not been cancelled but the game will not be released in 2012 as planned.
During a talk given today, they explained that the game had not been cancelled, but was not going to be launched in 2012 as they had previously planned. They informed us that the game was delayed as it had not reached a good enough quality and was not yet satisfactory.

The delay is due to the fact that game development has not progressed satisfactorily this past year, and the game does not currently meet our quality standards.
They backed up their statement by explaining that they did not want to release a product that gamers would not enjoy, and will only release it once it is 100% satisfactory to them.

Prey 2 has shown great promise and we regret disappointing our fans. We have made a substantial investment in game development to deliver the experience fans want. We are determined only to release the AAA game that fans rightfully expect, and are unwilling to compromise our quality standards to meet a release schedule.
This is excellent news as the game, which a Dutch website last month claimed had been cancelled, really stood out and shone to those who saw it at E3 last year.
Prey 2 does not follow the story from the original game; instead it follows a completely new storyline based around a character stuck on an alien planet who has to become a bounty hunter to survive. It will likely feature at this year's E3 event too.
