Predator: Badlands 2025

By Mackday Philss

The hunt evolves once again.

From visionary director Dan Trachtenberg, the mind behind Prey and Predator: Killer of Killers, comes a new chapter in the legendary Predator saga - Predator: Badlands (2025). This thrilling adaptation brings readers deep into the heart of the Predator universe, where the line between hunter and hunted is redefined forever.

Set on the Predators' home world, Badlands explores the culture, conflict, and code of honor of the Yautja species. For the first time, the story follows Dek, a young Predator outcast exiled for being a runt. Driven by survival and the need for acceptance, Dek's journey reveals a side of the Predators no one has ever seen - their emotion, loyalty, and inner war.

Alongside Dek are Thia and Tessa, advanced Weyland-Yutani synths brought to life by Elle Fanning in a remarkable dual performance. When the ambitions of humanity collide with the traditions of the Predator race, an epic confrontation unfolds - one that will test courage, compassion, and the meaning of power.

Every scene pulses with cinematic intensity. From its visually charged world-building and creature design by Studio Gillis and Wētā Workshop, to its breathtaking score by Sarah Schachner and Benjamin Wallfisch, Predator: Badlands delivers the perfect fusion of science fiction, emotion, and action.

This book also features insights into the film's creation - from its groundbreaking visual effects and Predator language development to the Marvel Comics prequel that sets the stage for the events of the movie.

For fans of Prey, Alien vs. Predator, Mad Max 2, and The Book of Eli, this story dives deeper into the expanded Predator universe, exploring its myths, codes, and survival instincts like never before.
