With the release of Prey in 2022, the world of Predator got a bit, new expansion. It took the formula, the world, and the action in a new direction. But what comes next?

We’re soon to get a live action follow up. But in the meantime, today, we get a new animated anthology from the team behind Prey, including writer/director Dan Trachtenberg. This one introduces us to new characters and, again, expands the world of Predator. It drops today on Hulu.

In the film, we get three stories set in three different time periods. First, we meet Ursa (Lindsay LaVanchy), a Viking warrior who is guiding her son Anders (Damien Haas) on a battle mission. She’s also trying to impart skills and the world on him. They are nearly successful in battle, when a Predator arrives.

In the next vignette, we are taken to feudal Japan and the conflict between close friends and brothers, Kenji and Kiyoshi (Louis Ozawa). A rift forms between them as youths when they’re vying for a spot as a samurai. Twenty years later, when their mentor dies, they clash again. But before they can settle their differences, a Predator arrives.

Finally, we’re taken to World War II and young pilot named Torres (Rick Gonzalez). When his squad comes under attack, he takes to the air. They are set to battle a mysterious technologically advanced ship flown by a Predator. Can they survive?

We see each of these stories play out and find out their connection in a third act that takes us to the heart of the Predator planet. The film also includes a nod toward Prey in the closing moments that will provide connective tissue and fan service. But this is a story, or set of stories, that stand out their own.

The animation style is unique, following more of an Eastern look. It’s not quite manga, but it looks set apart from the typical Western animated style. It works for this production, which does a nice job of telling different stories in different periods and bringing them all together. If you’re a fan of the world of Predator, this will be a fun expansion.

It didn’t work quite as well for me as Prey, and it’s not quite as dynamic, but it was an interesting ride that made some emotional connections. It’s worth checking out for fans and makes for a quick binge, clocking in just under 90 minutes.

Predator: Killer of Killers is now streaming on Hulu.
