Prototype 2 Official Announcement

Activision has announced that a sequel to its 2009 hit game Prototype is currently in development for 2012. We reviewed the first game and loved it for the open-style gameplay and cool sense of power that the main character develops over the course of the game. You can check out a trailer for Prototype 2 below, where fans of the shape-shifting open-world action franchise got their first glimpse into Sgt. James Heller, and why he is going to destroy Prototype's original anti-hero, Alex Mercer. Gamers should also be on the lookout for the exclusive, in-depth first look preview of Prototype 2 in EGM magazine's April 2011 issue.

"When Prototype surpassed 2 Million units we knew gamers would want a sequel to find out what happens next with Alex Mercer," said Ken Rosman, Studio Head, Radical Entertainment. "The team here at Radical is sincerely grateful to the fans and we are laser focused on delivering an even bigger and better experience with Prototype 2!"

Prototype 2 is currently in development for the Xbox 360, Ps3 and PC platforms. The game is currently rated "RP" (Rating Pending) by the ESRB, with an expected "M" (Mature -- Content that may be suitable for persons 17 and older).
