Exciting developments are underway regarding the legendary action series Prototype. Updates spotted on SteamDB have raised the possibility that a remaster of the first game in the series or an entirely new sequel is being developed.
The Prototype series may return
A patch released for Steam on September 29th includes notable technical changes. This patch includes changes to the game’s DirectX files and the addition of a new user agreement.
More importantly, sections such as “$Downloadable_Content” and “Ubisoft Connect Version” have been added to the in-game credits. These details reinforce the impression that a visually updated version of the game, or a new version that will run on the Ubisoft Connect platform, is being developed.
The Iron Galaxy Studios team mentioned in the update is a studio that previously worked with Activision on the Spyro remaster project. This strong connection further solidifies the Prototype rumors.
Furthermore, the mention of Demonware in the update files suggests that steps are being taken to modernize the game’s online infrastructure. These technical updates highlight the possibility that the project is not just a simple “texture pack,” but a full-blown remaster or even a new game.
For now, this information remains merely rumors. No official statement has yet been released from the developer, Activision. However, it’s worth noting that some previously created mods for the game are no longer functional after this update. This suggests significant changes have been made behind the scenes.
