A recent update on Steam may be hinting at big news for the legendary action series Prototype. Changes spotted by users suggest a remastered version of the first game—or even an entirely new entry—could be in the works. This has sparked excitement among fans, raising hopes for the return of a long-silent franchise.

Signs of a Prototype Comeback

The patch released on Steam on September 29 includes tweaks to the game’s DirectX files and the addition of a new user agreement. Notably, new mentions of “$Downloadable_Content” and “Ubisoft Connect Version” in the game’s credits suggest the possibility of a visually enhanced remaster or a new version that runs via Ubisoft Connect.

Iron Galaxy and Activision Connection

One standout detail in the update is the involvement of Iron Galaxy Studios. Having previously worked with Activision on the Spyro remaster project, their presence adds weight to the Prototype rumors. The mention of Demonware in the update also points to steps being taken to modernize the game’s online infrastructure, hinting at a full-scale remaster rather than just a simple “texture pack.”

Still Unconfirmed

It’s important to note that all of these developments are still just rumors for now. There has been no official statement from Activision. Some users have also reported that certain mods stopped working after the update.

While these updates are certainly exciting for Prototype fans, nothing is confirmed until there’s an official announcement. Still, the details found in the Steam update offer hope for a revival of the series. Any official word from Activision or Ubisoft in the near future will clarify whether these rumors hold true.
