15 Games That Were In Development Hell But Somehow Managed To Release

Prey

Prey 2 might have garnered more controversy for the rumoured meddling of Bethesda in Human Head Studios’ work. However, the first Prey also had a tumultuous development cycle, having been first announced in 1995. It saw the likes of Tom Hall (of Anachronox and Rise of the Triad fame) involved, multiple different designs and eventually ceased development. 3D Realms would pick up the game again in 2001 with Human Head Studios brought on to finish it. Prey would finally release in July 2006 and unlike Duke Nukem Forever, it actually received a number of positive reviews.
