Summary
- Activision has plenty of unused IP under its belt, but one of the most interesting is Prototype.
- We've not had a new Prototype since the sequel in 2012, but a focus group member claims that's changing soon.

A Reddit user ꧒claiming to be part of an focus test group h𒆙as claimed that a new game is in development and will bring back Alex Mercer from the first game.
As , Spyro the Dragon, and fans are more than aware of, Activision is sitting on a go🎃ldmine of abandoned or sleeping franchises. Those are some of the bigger examples that jump to mind when it comes to the co🦄mpany's unused IP, .
Forget Watch D♛ogs ⛦4, Take Me Back To Chicago
I’m not asking for a rem✱ake. Unless I am. You d🥃ecide.
, a series made by the now defunct Radical Entertainment that had you exploring an open-world New York City and wreaking havoc to it with destructive shape-shifting powers. The series had two games before disappearing completely, but that might be about to change.
Prototype Could Be Making A Comeback, Claims Focus Group Member
Don't Count On It Too Hard, Though
and , this alleged information comes from a recent focus study group from Activision. Alongside learning more about Black Ops 7, the Redditor was apparently told about a new Prototype gaℱme that's currently in development.
, but Bigbyy claims at the end that another Prototype is being planned with Alex Mercer, the protagonist of the first game and villain of the second, returni🥀ng in the lead role. Like other games in the series, gameplay will apparently involve "shapeshifting, transforming into other people to infiltrate areas" and will be set in New York City.
The New York City claim in particular strikes me as odd since e𒐪very Prototype game so far has taken place th🐽ere. It's been a while, sure, but it's hardly worth noting if it's the same location for the third time in a row.
, who said the info came from a YouGov survey with an NDA that then confirmed features that upcoming games would feature, seemingly including the new P꧂rototype. , but thought it was worth reporting on.
While games have leaked in a similar manner in the past, this one does seem a little far-fetched to believe with anything more than a grain of salt right now. Anyone can say anything over on Reddit and there's no direct proof for the claim right now, whi💧ch is a big one considering how long Prototype has been out of action. For now, it's nice to think about, but not worth gettin⛦g your hopes up too much.
