Ever since he was announced as the new incarnation of Prey by Arkane Studios, one of the powers that have most intrigued customers was to Mimic , Imitate in Italian, which will allow us to become any object we see with the ability to control its movements to a limited extent in order to overcome various types of environmental puzzles.

Bethesda has now released a trailer that shows us precisely this power, explaining also how it works:

One of the first powers that you learn is Imitation . Acquired by mimic Typhon, this power allows you to assume the form of almost every physical object lying on Talos. We start from smaller (a Cup, a lamp, a banana), up to imitate more complex objects such as security turrets and robot operators.

"Imitation is a flexible power and fun," says head designer Ricardo Coffins. "The most obvious benefit is the stealth, which allows you to hide from an alien too powerful for you. Or ambush without being noticed. It's also a good way to access areas otherwise forbidden. You are missing a key? No problem. Transform yourself into a very small object to squeeze through a gap in the locked room. "

At the second level of Imitation you can take the form of more complex objects like the turrets. "Not only do you get the appearance of a tower, but also its functionality," says the Chief Systems Designer Seth Shain. "If you run out of Ammo, it is a great way to deal with enemies." Enhancing the skill, you can imitate the robot operators and fly for robotic devices and Talos with weapons.

With more than 400 objects to imitate, Prey offers eclectic style of play thanks to a single power. "The opportunity to look around, to activate the ability imitation and choose which object become never ceases to amaze me," says producer Susan Kath. "There are many elements to be imitated."

We leave you now to your movie, enjoy!
