To make sure that enemies do not overwhelm the player, Radical has created a dodging system and new, more realistic AI. Due to Blackwatch's actions in the Yellow Zone, if the player assumes the role of a soldier, people will react to him in a way that shows that they want nothing to do with him. Taking people's identities and shapeshifting into them has become more tactical. James Heller can shapeshift and assume other people's identities and memories by consuming them. While the game was a top seller for a period of time, its sales would eventually result in the downsizing of its developer. The story is one of revenge, as Heller wants to kill Alex Mercer, protagonist of the original Prototype, after his family was killed in the outbreak of the Blacklight virus. The game features a new protagonist, James Heller, as he goes on a quest to destroy the Blacklight virus. Separate versions of the games became available in August 2015. Versions for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One were released on Jalongside the first game as Prototype Biohazard Bundle.
The game was announced at the 2010 Spike VGA Awards. Developed by Canadian studio Radical Entertainment and published by Activision, it is the sequel to 2009's Prototype. Prototype 2 (stylized as PROTOTYPE) is a 2012 open world action-adventure video game.
