This Prey video shows how Mimic Matter turns the player into a turret and a coffee mug

By Stephany Nunneley

A new gameplay video for Prey has been released, and it provides a look at the various forms the player can take using the Mimic’s power.

As you can see in the Prey video above, the player can turn into everything from an apple to a turret.

Called Mimic Matter, this is one of the first alien powers the player will learn once acquired from the small, Mimic Typhon. The power can be leveled up, so expect to start out small before you can start mimicking more complex objects.

It seems to fool enemies rather well, and surely it’s a bit of a shock when a harmless teapot turns into a human with gun. Then blammo. They’re dead.

Be sure to give the video a watch.

Prey will be released worldwide on May 5 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
