Prototype

Prototype follows Alex Mercer, a man with no memory and powerful shape-shifting abilities. You hunt through New York City for the truth behind the conspiracy that created you, seeking to make those responsible pay.

Shape-shifting combat

You can reconfigure your body to meet different situations, using Claws, Blades, Hammers or Whips to attack, and a shield or armor to defend yourself. Thermal vision and infected vision help you track enemies.

Movement and disguises

Move through the open-world environments of New York City by running up walls, leaping between buildings and bouncing off cars and other obstacles. Adaptive parkour lets you travel fluidly through the city. You can also consume anyone at any time, take on their appearance and acquire their memories and special abilities.

The conspiracy

You wake with no memory of your past, mysterious powers and a link to a town in Idaho. As you investigate your origins and the true nature of your abilities, you uncover your role in a conspiracy that has been unfolding for 40 years.
