Prototype Series: Remaster or New Game on the Horizon?

A recent Steam update has stirred up excitement among Prototype fans, hinting at major news for the iconic action series. Observant users have noticed changes that could point to a remastered first game—or perhaps even a brand-new entry. These clues have reignited hope for the return of a long-dormant franchise.

Hints of a Prototype Revival

The September 29 Steam patch introduces updates to the game’s DirectX files and a new user agreement. More intriguingly, new references to “$Downloadable_Content” and “Ubisoft Connect Version” in the credits suggest we might see a visually enhanced remaster or a new version playable through Ubisoft Connect.

Iron Galaxy and Activision’s Role

A key detail from the update is the involvement of Iron Galaxy Studios, who previously collaborated with Activision on the Spyro remaster. Their participation adds weight to the Prototype rumors. The update also mentions Demonware, indicating efforts to modernise the game’s online features—hinting at a comprehensive remaster, not just a simple texture update.

Nothing Official Yet

Keep in mind, everything so far is based on speculation. Activision has not released any official statement. Additionally, some players have reported that certain mods have stopped working since the update.

While these developments are exciting for Prototype enthusiasts, nothing is confirmed until there’s an official announcement. Still, the details from the Steam update give fans reason to hope for a comeback. Any official news from Activision or Ubisoft in the coming days will reveal whether these rumors are true.
