- A Prototype remaster may be coming soon.
- The game’s files have been updated with new credits and maps, suggesting a new version is in the works.
- Recent rumors also suggested that the series would be coming back in some form soon.
The Prototype franchise, despite its long slumber, remains a fan-favorite to this day. This series offered a one-of-a-kind superhero adventure that fans still want more of, and it seems the wheels are finally turning for a return to the IP’s visceral action gameplay.
According to new updates to the game’s files and other hints, a Prototype remaster may be in the works.
Why it matters: Prototype is one of Activision’s best IPs that never got to properly shine. The franchise was quickly forgotten, but demand for a new entry or re-release still exists today.
A new post on Reddit highlights interesting changes to Prototype’s internal files. Datamines from the latest update reveal that the game’s credits have been updated with several new names.
Additionally, several test maps not part of the original game are now in the files. These two pieces of evidence indicate that something related to the series is in the works. All of this information comes from dataminer Nixson, who has been sharing interesting findings regarding the title for many years.
He also points to Iron Galaxy’s name in the credits, a studio known for its prominent work with remasters and remakes of all sorts. Adding further fuel to the fire, recent rumors suggested that another Prototype title was in the works.
For those familiar with the series, Prototype has already been re-released once for the PS4 and Xbox One. Therefore, the next re-release might be more than a typical remaster, potentially pointing to a middle-ground between a remaster and a remake.
This type of approach worked well for the recently released Oblivion Remastered, so Xbox and Activision might pursue a similar re-release for Prototype.
What do you make of the evidence? Let’s discuss in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
