Rumors of Prey 2 being cancelled were finally confirmed to be false today by developer Human Head although the potential for a sequel still is pretty bleak overall.
While the project isn't cancelled, it isn't being worked on either due to its current limbo status in development.
Nathan Cheever, designer for the game, made the announcement on Twitter last week which was only noticed recently.

"Prey 1 = Indians in Space. Prey 2 = Cowboys in Space," he Tweeted. "btw, P2 hasn’t been officially canceled, only in limbo."

The reason for the limbo status is also due to Bethesda moving away from the project in order to focus on other games to be developed after announcing earlier in the year the game would miss the 2012 release window due to serious quality issues.
