Human Head was allegedly forced to cancel their ambitious Prey 2, which would have set the game in a Blade Runner-ish alien space station. However, they've now started teasing the development of a sequel to their 2000 third person action title Rune. The developer at the time was a part of the infamous Gathering of Developers.
The developer recently posted a Rune Facebook page, showing off the older game's art assets and such.
The developer seemed to tire of teasing a Rune 2 when, finally, Human Head posted a note, "We are considering a sequel to the cult hit classic Rune!"
Sony take note. Acquisitions come with both benefits, and pitfalls. In taking control ZeniMax Media, Microsoft got its mitts on the incredible, innumerable IP found in the sprawling toy-box of this inimitable publisher. This of course includes Bethesda Softworks. Once beloved creator of the popular Fallout series, but crucially the sculptors of the incredible Elder Scrolls Universe. Sounds pretty good right? Well, following an amendment to a suit filed by Ragnarok Games, the $7.5b price tag might not tell the whole picture.
Why does Sony have to take note? Acquisitions happen all of the time in all aspects of business outside of video games. There are always risks and rewards.

Curious to see how this goes. Horde Events, Monsters, and New Dungeons Levels Showcased in Gamescom Debut Trailer.
RISE WARRIOR! Ragnarok, the end of days, is upon you. Heed the call of the gods as it’s the only chance to save mankind from the trickster Loki.
Would be nice. I really liked the first one, although I think it was pretty buggy if my memory serves me right.
