Human Head Studios has shut down after a long run on the games market. However, comprised of staff from Human Head Studios, Bethesda has announced Roundhouse Studios, which happens to be working on a new unannounced game.
If you are questioning, “What’s up with the Prey 2 header image?” It’s simple, Human Head Studios — before it turned into the most recent Roundhouse Studios — worked on said game. The game appeared in various headlines revolving around the development studio and Bethesda.
With that said, here’s a list of games that Human Head Studios worked on besides Prey 2, like the critically panned and silent failure that is The Quiet Man, published by Square Enix:

Now that you know what Human Head Studios is all about, the new 2019 version of the company, now known as Roundhouse Studios, is working with Bethesda — which likely includes the publishing branch Bethesda Softworks and the developing arm known as Bethesda Game Studios — on something new.
I wouldn’t doubt that Bethesda’s subsidiaries like BattleCry Studio, Alpha Dog Games or id Software will help out with this new game, but for now, we know from gamesindustry.biz that Roundhouse Studios creative director Chris Rhinehart had this to say about the re-birth:
«Πλησιάσαμε στους φίλους μας στη Bethesda για βοήθεια και είδαν την ίδια δημιουργικότητα και πάθος στην ομάδα μας. Με τη δημιουργία των Roundhouse Studios, η Bethesda προσέφερε σε κάθε υπάλληλο της Human Head μια θέση στη νέα εταιρεία. Είμαστε ενθουσιασμένοι που η ομάδα μας θα παραμείνει μαζί, επιδιώκοντας το έργο που αγαπάμε, ως μέρος μιας εταιρείας που ήδη γνωρίζουμε και θαυμάζουμε ».
Todd Vaughn, best known as Bethesda’s SVP of development, says that he’s “sorry to hear” what had happened to Human Head Studios, but he’s also excited by the opportunity to bring them “under the Bethesda umbrella.” Additionally, Vaughn had this to say:
“We are delighted that the entire staff will remain together and is now part of the Bethesda family.”
With all of that said, what do you think about this new game coming from Bethesda and the creators of Prey (2006) Prey 2 (canceled), and contributors to BioShock: Άπειρο και Batman: Arkham Origins?
