A recent Steam update is stirring up excitement among fans of the iconic Prototype action series. Observant users have noticed changes that hint at either a remastered version of the original game or possibly an entirely new title in development. These discoveries have reignited anticipation for the long-dormant franchise.

Signs Point to a Prototype Comeback

The Steam patch released on September 29 introduced updates to the game’s DirectX files and a new user agreement. Interestingly, new references to “$Downloadable_Content” and “Ubisoft Connect Version” in the credits suggest a visually upgraded remaster or a new edition compatible with Ubisoft Connect could be on the way.

Iron Galaxy and Activision Involvement

One key detail is the involvement of Iron Galaxy Studios, known for their work with Activision on the Spyro remaster. Their participation adds credibility to the Prototype rumours. Additionally, the mention of Demonware indicates that the game’s online systems may be getting a modern overhaul, pointing to a true remaster rather than just a simple graphics update.

No Official Confirmation Yet

It’s worth noting that these developments are still just rumours—there has been no official word from Activision. Some players have also reported that certain mods stopped working after the update.

While the updates are promising for Prototype fans, nothing is official until there’s a formal announcement. Still, the clues found in the Steam update give hope for a possible revival. Any statement from Activision or Ubisoft in the near future will reveal whether these rumours are true.
