Some of the details shared by the user align with what the Insider Gaming editorial team has heard. So we have a slight confirmation that they aren’t completely made up.
Is Prototype 3 coming?
However, this is not the only information that Bigbyy shared on Reddit. He said he got some info about a new game in the Prototype series, the last one came out in 2012.
He claims that in the new game, the main character will be Alex Mercer again, and we will be able to change shape and transform into other people to «infiltrate areas.» Meanwhile, the game’s setting will be in New York. Insider Gaming reached out to Bigbyy to learn the source of the details and received the given information:
[It] was YouGov survey which asked me to sign an NDA and confirm that I would not disclose the contents. It then confirmed a series of features that upcoming games will include and how popular this was with me [percentage wise]. It was not a playtest but did specify that these features were already planned as part of upcoming games.
Insider Gaming hasn’t yet verified the information regarding the new Prototype.
