Prototype delayed until 2009

Posted on May 6th, 2008 at 03:55 EDT

Sierra Entertainment has confirmed that the forthcoming action game Prototype has been pushed back to an as-of-yet undetermined release date in 2009.

Speaking in a statement issued this week, a spokesperson for the publisher commented: "Sierra Entertainment and Radical Entertainment have made the decision to shift Prototype to launch in 2009.”

"Since its announcement, Prototype has been regarded by many as groundbreaking and taking the open-world genre in new directions, and in the simplest explanation possible, we need more time to deliver the game the team initially set out to create."

In response to whether or not the revised launch date would have any impact on the possible inclusion of multiplayer, the spokesperson added, "As we've stated previously, Prototype's multiplayer development was never 'off the table' but rather under evaluation and on hold.”

“Now, with the updated 2009 timing, Prototype multiplayer is still on the table for evaluation, and further details will be revealed down the line."

Prototype is due for release on PlayStation 3, PC and Xbox 360.

Most titles these day get delayed so I'm not suprised or upset. I will get the game as soon as it comes out though.  I hope the keep it single player and don't try to attach multiplayer in the mix.

I'd prefer them to delay and make sure its released the way they want it to be rather than it get rushed and turn out to be a porr game.

psn id: gingo... for once a delay could be a good thing, this game was looking fantastic but with so many other games this year it might have slipped under the radar so coming out in 09 is going to benefit it

I'd much rather have a delay for the better of the game than a stupid delay like Ubisoft did for business reasons.  I'm not a big multiplayer guy myself (except for Halo) so I hope they don't have to push this game back another 6 months.

well this game is going to be badass either way... but if they add multiplayer they need to do it right, not like they did with dark sector, the multiplayer on that game could have been way better
