Prototype 2 RADNET Edition

Prototype 2 is an open-world action game set in New York Zero, a city devastated by a viral infection. You play as Sgt James Heller, a soldier whose wife and child have died and who was left for dead. As an infected protagonist with shapeshifting powers, Heller hunts, kills and consumes his way toward his goal: killing Alex Mercer.

New York Zero

The open-world city is divided into three zones, each shaped by the infection and the factions fighting for control. The Green Zone is heavily militarized, the Yellow Zone is crowded with refugee shanty towns, and the Red Zone is a war-ravaged area where the Blacklight virus has overrun shattered skyscrapers and much of the population. The Red Zone is Alex Mercer’s home, with infection and the risk of death around every corner.

Hunt and evolve

Heller can track enemies with a sonar pulse, then hunt, kill and become them. By absorbing someone, he can disguise himself as a soldier, scientist or other target, absorb their memories and acquire new abilities. You build a genetic arsenal of biological weapons and abilities as you progress.

You can also tailor Heller by combining Mutation perks. These can improve his speed and size when moving, sharpen his claws or enhance his disguise abilities.

Powers and enemies

Heller’s Tendril power can lift and tear apart cars and military vehicles, ensnare powerful infected beasts and rip apart groups of enemies. The city also contains building-sized Infected that charge through its streets, as well as highly trained Blackwatch soldiers. You glide and parkour across the city while fighting these threats.

Story

Heller’s hunt for Mercer unfolds against the conflict among New York Zero’s factions. His aim is to bring down Mercer, whom he sees as the devil, in a final showdown.
