Prototype 3 With Alex Mercer As The Protagonist Is Rumored To Be In Active Development at Activision

Expert Verified By

Focus Group Testing Has Reportedly Already Begun!

Story Highlight
  • A new leak claims that Prototype 3 is already in development at Activision.
  • The game will revisit New York City and continue the story of Alex Mercer.
  • Activision is doing focus group testing already, suggesting it’s in active development.

The last Prototype game was released over 12 years ago at this point, despite the demand for another entry still being there. There have been rumors of a new entry for quite some time, which do seem to be real, as we have more details now. 

A new leak suggests that Prototype 3 is currently in active development at Activision. The sequel will likely return to New York City and will be once again focused on Alex Mercer, the protagonist of the original game. 

Why it matters: Fans loved Prototype for its unhinged action. It gives you a sense of power, navigating the open-world and killing the infected, and getting stronger as you progress through the story.

The leak comes from a now-deleted Reddit post (via TCMFGames) and states that Prototype 3 is indeed in development. The leaker has a record of legitimate information in the past, which makes this much more believable. 

Nonetheless, the game will put us in the shoes of Alex Mercer, who, of course, was also a part of the 2nd game as the primary antagonist. The leak claims Activision is doing focus group testing, suggesting it’s well into development.

The idea of Prototype 3 is really interesting, and fans will be hyped for it. However, for now, it is better to take this information with a grain of salt. If the development has begun, we will hopefully soon see an official announcement.
