Director Dan Trachtenberg Pitches Open-World Action-Adventure Predator Game Akin to Uncharted/Assassin's Creed

Dan Trachtenberg, who is directing Predator: Badlands and plays a key role in the Predator franchise, recently told IGN he would be enthusiastic about a Predator game in the style of Uncharted or Assassin's Creed. He specifically stated, "I'm really hoping for an action-adventure third-person game, something open world. I haven't played Concrete Jungle in ages, but there's so much potential with Predator games. I hope someone makes it happen." Trachtenberg acknowledged that while Concrete Jungle was released in 2005, he believes it is time for a new title that meets the standards of modern blockbusters. Given his influential position within the franchise, his desire could significantly boost the game's prospects.
