Bethesda partners with Alamo Drafthouse to show ‘The Matrix’ and other films that inspired Prey

Bethesda’s next major release is a science-fiction thriller, and the publisher is using film to reach an appreciative audience.

The Alamo Drafthouse chain of movie theaters is kicking off a Bethesda Softworks Presents film series dedicated to the upcoming Prey reboot from developer Arkane Studios. Prey, which debuts May 5 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, tells the story of Morgan, a lone human left on a space station called Talos I. As the subject of experiments, your character awakens to find that they (you can play as a man or a woman) must fight off an alien threat while uncovering what happened while they were asleep. In Prey, you’ll find a lot of familiar sci-fi themes, but Bethesda and Arkane are embracing that — and that’s why it is partnering with Alamo Drafthouse.
