Rumor: Prototype Could Be Making a Comeback

There’s a new buzz suggesting that a remastered version of Prototype is currently being worked on. The original Prototype game came out in 2009, and Radical Entertainment created a distinctive open-world experience for players.

Prototype follows Alex Mercer, a man who wakes up with amnesia and incredible powers, driven to get revenge for being made into a powerful weapon. The game stands out because of its quick and exciting fights, where Alex can change his body into things like weapons, shields, or armor for protection, and use special skills to find his enemies. He can also move rapidly through New York City by jumping and running, and has a unique ability to disguise himself for stealth. Prototype is a single-player series that many fans long for, and there’s a new rumor suggesting Alex Mercer might return in the future.

Prototype Remaster Potentially in Development

A user named StanleyMitchel posted screenshots on the GamingLeaksAndRumors subreddit hinting at a Prototype remaster being worked on. Another user, Nixson, commented that they’re “starting to believe that the new Prototype game in development is true,” but didn’t share any details about what the game might offer. The original poster (OP) later added in the comments that cut missions, test maps, and other features have been recently added to the open-world game. It’s also visible on SteamDB that Prototype received an update on September 29, though official patch notes haven’t been released.

So, I was reading through the updates, and it looks like they’ve added some new names to the Prototype credits. What’s really interesting is that some of those names are people who worked on Crash Bandicoot 4. That’s got a lot of us thinking a remaster might be in the works! Everyone in the comments is hyped about the possibility of the Prototype series making a comeback, even if it’s just a fresh coat of paint. Honestly, it’s been a while since we last played as Alex Mercer – Prototype 2 came out way back in 2012 for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. It’d be awesome to revisit that world!

Players should view the information shared by StanleyMitchel with some skepticism, as it’s based on speculation and hasn’t been officially confirmed by the developers or Activision, the publisher of the original Prototype. It’s important to remember, though, that this isn’t the first time rumors have surfaced about the series making a return. Previously, claims circulated that Prototype 3 was in development, once again taking place in New York City and starring Alex Mercer as the main character.
