It's been flying under the radar since it was re-announced, but there's a small chance Prey could scratch that BioShock itch you've been desperately trying to ignore. Bethesda has announced that the first-person shooter – created by Dishonored developer Arkane – will face-off against an extraterrestrial threat starting 5th May. That's probably a good release date for the game, as it should be a quiet part of the year.

We must admit, the combat does look entertaining – particularly in this brand new gameplay trailer. The video introduces an assembly line of attack techniques, from sci-fi firearms all the way through to the protagonist's ability to transform into a turret. Previous trailers have shown how you'll be able to morph into everyday items like coffee cups, too. The jury's obviously out, but this could wind up being a sleeper hit. We'll find out in a few months.
