Sharing a writer in Creator/ChrisAvellone, the games deal with similar questions of identity and one of Prey's more prominent story elements are the actions of previous incarnations - including Morgan being guided by several [[UnreliableNarrator former versions of themselves]], often at odds with each other.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: For some reason, Bethesda did not distribute review codes for ''Prey'' to reviewers and press until 24 hours before the release date. This unfortunately meant that reviews were either delayed or rushed, which gave many people who were on the fence about the game a negative initial impression.

Originally developed as a direct sequel to the original game with a "Cowboys in Space" vibe, with the player character working as an intergalactic bounty hunter of sorts.

* ThrowItIn: The "Reployer" machines that are found around the station started out as an object that nobody in the development team could figure out a plausible use for. As a result, it was nearly cut from the game...until someone suggested turning it into a meta-joke.
-->“We almost cut this from the game three times,” Colantonio says. “I even had a few ‘fights’ with [Lead Visual Designer] Manu [Petit], telling him I never want to see that thing again – until we eventually turned it into a joke and said, ‘What if no one aboard the space station knows what that object is? Let’s give it an obscure name like Reployer and let’s have people talk about it in emails.’”
