Preygrounds Renamed to Shadowgrounds - 17.6.05

Finnish developers Frozenbyte have announced the renaming of their upcoming PC action game from Preyground to Shadowgrounds.

The move comes as a mark of respect for 3D Realms, who apparently took issue with the similarity of the name to their resurrected sci-fi shooter Prey:

Shadowgrounds was originally known as Preyground but the name was changed
due to issues with U.S. based developer 3D Realms. "We changed the name
because 3D Realms told us that they are again working on Prey, a
first-person shooter originally announced in 1997", says Frozenbyte CEO
Lauri Hyvarinen and continues: "We respect 3D Realms. And we don't want Duke
to kick our butts."

Shadowgrounds is due for release in Q3 of this year, and according to Frozenbyte has been "developed in the Finnish woods in secrecy for almost two years."
