Santa Monica, CA – April 8, 2009 – No conspiracy here…we promise… Activision Publishing, Inc.

PROTOTYPE lets gamers feel the power of being the ultimate shape-shifting weapon.

Fueled by a three-way war between Alex, the Blackwatch (military) and a viral outbreak known as the Infected, players venture into a deep, dark conspiracy 40 years in the making!
