About Prototype®

In Prototype you become Alex Mercer, a man stripped of his memory but gifted with astonishing shape-shifting powers, carving a path toward the heart of the conspiracy that made him and forcing everyone responsible to answer for it. Combat is fast and brutal, letting you reshape your own body to fit the moment. Claws, blades, hammers, and whips are all on the table, and when the fight turns against you, you can harden into a shield or armor or switch on thermal and infected vision to hunt down enemies.

Movement is just as extravagant as the violence. Alex bounds seamlessly from rooftop to rooftop, sprints up walls, and vaults off cars, with adaptive parkour keeping him fluid across the open-world sprawl of New York City. A darker skill lets him consume any person at will, absorbing their appearance, their memories, and their special abilities to slip through the city unseen.

The action and adventure unfold against a dense, conspiracy-driven storyline. Waking with no past, only strange powers and a thread leading to a small town in Idaho, you dig into the truth of your origin, the real nature of your abilities, and your place in a plot four decades in the making on PC.
