2K Games and 3D Realms today announced that both the PC and the Xbox 360 version of their upcoming shooter Prey is now gold and will be in shops on July 11th in the USA and 3 days later in Europe.

Of course the PC demo is already available but an Xbox 360 demo is promised very shortly.

" prey raises the bar for first-person shooters and is a must-have game for the summer, " said Christoph Hartmann, President, 2K. "Its unique features, crisp graphics and in-depth storyline make it a truly revolutionary game."

Prey is a groundbreaking first-person shooter that turns the genre upside-down with new gameplay features and next generation graphics. Breaking the traditional first-person shooter format, Prey introduces innovative gameplay elements including wall-walking, portals, spirit-walking and gravity flipping, which allows for insane eight player deathmatches.

"We are proud to continue our tradition of releasing innovative and dynamic games for the PC and console game markets," said Timothy Gerritsen, CEO, Human Head Studios, Incorporated. " prey is the culmination of nearly five years work to bring a truly innovative product to a first-person shooter market clamoring for something new. "

" prey's greatest message is that a commitment to quality, polish and unique gameplay is a sure-fire way to build a brand and one we strongly believe will have staying power for years to come, " said Scott Miller, CEO, 3D Realms. "We believe Prey will be a major hit for gamers worldwide."
