Although the Predator franchise has been around for almost four decades, it hasn’t had a lot of video game adaptations that lived up to the original movie. Dan Trachtenberg–the director of Prey, Predator: Killer of Killers, and the upcoming Predator: Badlands–wants to see that change. And he believes Predator deserves a game on par with two AAA franchises.
“I am desperate for there to be a third-person action-adventure, Uncharted, Assassin’s Creed, that kind of open-world thing,” Trachtenberg told IGN. “Concrete Jungle was something that I missed unfortunately. And that was a long time ago. And there’s just so much fun to be had game wise, I think, with Predator. I hope it could happen.”
Predator: Concrete Jungle was released in 2005, and it put players in control of a Predator who had to reclaim his lost technology from the humans who stole it. While Trachtenberg didn’t play that game, he did reveal that he once designed a Predator video game level as part of a contest for the defunct gaming magazine GamePro.
It’s exciting to hear about the potential for the Predator franchise to expand into a game format similar to Assassin’s Creed or Uncharted. With such rich storytelling and iconic characters, it could offer a fresh and thrilling experience for fans. Looking forward to seeing how this develops!
I totally agree! A game inspired by the Predator universe could really explore the rich lore and intense action. Imagine blending stealth mechanics like in Assassin’s Creed with the thrill of hunting and survival elements—there’s so much potential for creativity!
Absolutely! The Predator universe has so much depth, especially with its various species and cultures. A game could really delve into the different hunting techniques and technologies, making for an engaging experience. It would be exciting to see how players could interact with both the Predators and their prey!
