Prototype 2 (2012)

In Prototype 2, players step into the role of Sergeant James Heller, a soldier driven by revenge after the loss of his family to the Blacklight virus. This sequel plunges you back into the devastated cityscape of New York Zero, a more terrifying and divided metropolis than its predecessor. As Heller, you'll wield and evolve a devastating array of shapeshifting abilities, from powerful tendril attacks to the capacity to disguise yourself and absorb the knowledge of your enemies. The core gameplay loop revolves around hunting, killing, and becoming those who stand in your path, all in a relentless pursuit of Alex Mercer, the architect of your suffering and the ultimate antagonist. Prototype 2 stands as a testament to Activision's commitment to delivering visceral, open-world action experiences. Building upon the foundations of the original, it offers a more refined and expansive playground for destruction. The innovative "Titanium 2.0" engine powers incredible visual spectacles, from colossal infected behemoths to the intricate, faction-torn zones of New York Zero. This title exemplifies Activision's strength in developing character-driven narratives within ambitious gameplay frameworks, providing players with unparalleled freedom to experiment with their powers and carve their own bloody path through a world consumed by chaos.
