In the year 2134, Earth has become a scorched wasteland after decades of war, climate collapse, and mass extinction. Human civilization has crumbled into scattered outposts and survivalist clans. In the heart of this desolate world, rumors spread of a “metal god” stalking the desert — a being that hunts without mercy, leaving behind skinned corpses and scorched battlefields. But this is no god. It’s a new breed of Predator, adapted to Earth's hostile terrain and now using it as its personal hunting ground.
Ex-special forces soldier Rae Voss, now a reluctant mercenary guarding a refugee convoy, is forced into confrontation when her team stumbles upon the aftermath of a Predator attack. The survivors describe a creature unlike anything in human records — faster, smarter, cloaked in advanced tech built from human and Yautja parts. Realizing that this Predator has not only evolved but is collecting war tech from fallen human factions, Rae must lead the fight to stop it before it triggers a doomsday weapon hidden beneath the ruins of an old military city.
With only a ragtag crew of survivors, a dying android tactician, and a map encoded in alien glyphs, Rae ventures deep into the Forbidden Zone — the Predator’s chosen hunting arena. Along the way, she discovers horrifying truths: Earth was never just a battleground. It was a proving ground. The Predator clans, watching from afar, are using the Wasteland as a test — and this elite hunter is their chosen emissary. Rae must not only survive but become the hunted, drawing the creature into a trap using tactics learned from old Predator war archives and her own guerrilla warfare instincts.
In a final confrontation among the ruins of a pre-apocalypse weapons facility, Rae battles the Predator in a brutal, primal fight, blending ancient human cunning with scavenged Yautja tech. As the Predator initiates a countdown to a catastrophic energy detonation, Rae sacrifices the last of the android’s power core to disable the blast — and in doing so, wounds the Predator beyond recovery. In its final breath, the creature marks Rae’s face with its blood, recognizing her as a worthy adversary. As Predator ships leave Earth, their mission complete, Rae stands alone in the rising ash storm, a war-scarred symbol of resistance in a world that refuses to die.
