• The "present day" scenes clearly aren’t on Earth. Torres asks how long he’s been asleep — with Ursa from the 800s and Kenji from the 1600s, it could be centuries. The Predator Warlord has Andolini’s pistol, hinting it was taken from Naru, though Predator 2 showed it given to Harrigan. It’s unclear if this happens before 1997 or if Harrigan was abducted later. 

In 841 AD, deep in the cold lands of Scandinavia, the Viking warrior Ursa, fierce and fearless, leads her son Anders and their clan on a mission of vengeance. She is seeking Zoran, the brutal Krivich leader who murdered Ursa’s father. They storm his fortress, and Anders delivers the fatal blow. As they were about to enjoy their victory, the real terror arrives in the form of a towering alien warrior, a Yautja. The creature decimates her men, and Anders is fatally wounded. In a brutal, one-on-one fight, Ursa manages to kill the Predator. But victory comes at a steep cost — she cradles her son as he breathes his last.

Centuries pass, and in 1609 Japan, brothers Kenji and Kiyoshi train under the stern eyes of their samurai father. During their final test, Kiyoshi scars Kenji, and in shame, Kenji disappears. Two decades later, Kenji returns as a shinobi to confront his brother who is now the lord of the land. But unbeknownst to them, another Predator has arrived. As the brothers clash. they are also forced to unite when the alien warrior attacks. They defeat it, but Kiyoshi succumbs to his wounds, leaving Kenji alone once again.

Fast forward to 1942 during the World War II. Torres, a skilled pilot, is drafted into the U.S. Navy. In the Atlantic, his squadron stumbles upon a strange aircraft, equipped with deadly, alien tech. Before long, a Yautja ship attacks. Torres, ever the quick thinker, tricks it into self-destructing. But just as he begins to rebuild his life, he’s abducted by another Predator.

Torres awakens in a cell and he's not alone. Ursa and Kenji are there too, all preserved in suspended animation. They’re thrown into a deadly arena, forced to battle for survival. The Predator Warlord watches as a massive beast is unleashed. Despite the language barrier, the trio bands together. Ursa and Kenji fight the beast whereas Torres is swallowed whole and finds a hoverbike inside the monster’s belly and blasts his way out.

In the bid for their freedom, Torres, Ursa, and Kenji take the fight to the Warlord.

Who will reign victorious? Humankind or alien?
