Dan Trachtenberg Urges AAA Third-Person Open-World Predator Game

Overview

• Trachtenberg said he is “desperate” for a third-person, open-world Predator game in the vein of Uncharted or Assassin’s Creed in a newly published IGN interview reported by GameSpot and GamesRadar+.
• He did not announce a project, framing the idea as a public call for a high-budget single-player entry for the franchise.
• The director has cited games like Shadow of the Colossus, Half-Life 2, Prince of Persia, and Uncharted as creative influences on Predator: Badlands.
• He acknowledged the 2005 single-player Predator: Concrete Jungle, noting he missed it and that it holds a 47 score on Metacritic.
• The franchise’s most recent game, Predator: Hunting Grounds, was ported to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S last year, keeping the IP active alongside his films Prey and the animated Killer of Killers.
