Surprise update hints at upcoming Prototype 1 remaster

One of the more underrated franchises from the 7th-generation of consoles was Prototype – a series of open-world titles in which the player can obtain a suite of overpowered abilities including shapeshifting; wall running; air gliding and much more. Unfortunately, the Activision-published series saw just two entries, with the most recent arriving over a decade ago. While a Prototype 3 is nowhere in sight, it appears as though a remaster might be in the works.

As part of an odd update made to the original Prototype on Steam, fans noticed that the 2009 title’s developer credits had been updated, listing additional Activision support team as well as Iron Galaxy – a studio primarily focused on remastering/remaking older games.

Perhaps most curiously, the update also seems to have added in some internal test maps alongside other minor changes.

Of course, we will have to wait for an official announcement, but it appears as though this cult-classic series could be getting a revival; especially in the wake of rumours from earlier this year. Hopefully an announcement is coming sooner rather than later.

It will be interesting to see just how much of a ‘remaster’ this winds up being – and whether it does justice to the original.
