Rumors have recently surfaced that Activision is working on a sequel to “Prototype,” featuring the return of the original protagonist, Alex Mercer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The source stated that they had joined a research group, which disclosed details about the upcoming “Prototype” game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to reports, the sequel is set in New York City, USA, allowing players to morph into other characters. Both Prototype<\/em> 1 and 2 were also set in New York City, with the second game portraying a city devastated by war and the Mercer virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Prototype 2” introduces a new African American protagonist named James Heller, replacing the first game’s main character, Alex Mercer, who has now become the antagonist. Although Alex Mercer meets his demise at the end of the second game, recent leaks hint that this scientist might still be alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, given the uncertainty surrounding this leak, it’s advisable to approach it with skepticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The commercial performance of Prototype 2<\/strong><\/em> fell short<\/strong> of expectations following its release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the publisher, Activision<\/strong>, the primary reason cited was the game’s failure to appeal to a sufficiently wide commercial audience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This outcome led to the popular Prototype<\/strong><\/em> series being effectively put on hold<\/strong>, its future uncertain for a significant period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further consequences included the unfortunate decision to close down<\/strong> its dedicated development studio, Radical Entertainment<\/strong>, directly linked to the disappointing sales figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the situation has seen major shifts<\/strong> since Microsoft<\/strong> completed its substantial acquisition of Activision Blizzard<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This corporate merger has brought about significant changes, particularly within the executive leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amidst this new landscape, fans have remained vocal, consistently demanded<\/strong> the revival of the Prototype<\/strong><\/em> franchise and the development of a new title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intriguingly, recent leaked information<\/strong> has begun circulating, and if these reports prove true<\/strong>, the persistent demands<\/strong> from the fanbase for a new Prototype<\/strong><\/em> game might finally be met<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
