Radical Entertainment’s 2009 action romp Prototype could be getting the remastered treatment, as the Steam version of the game has quietly added a bunch of new credits that includes Iron Galaxy as a remaster studio.
Posting on the Prototype subreddit, user StanleyMichel commented: “So one of the OG modders for the game data mined the recent update and has found a lot of interesting things. For Prototype 1, they have added some test maps and quite a few new names in the credits. There might be some hope for a remaster after all.”
The changes in the credits include new team dedicated to ‘downloadable content’ and another for ‘Ubisoft Connect Version,’ ‘Activision Localisation,’ Demonware, and ‘Iron Galaxy Studios.’ In total, the Steam version of Prototype includes 753 changes from the original release.

“One of the new studios in the credits worked in [sic] the Spyro remasters,” user Nixson commented on Discord. “This is 100% confirmed. They’re remastering the games. Likely using the same engine/code or some hybrid like Oblivion. There’s a lot of new names in the credits, mainly other Activision studios,” they added. “I’m starting to think the new Prototype game in-the-works thing may be true.”
Prototype was released for PS3, PC, and Xbox 360 in June 2009, and sees players controlling Alex Mercer, a shapeshifter suffering from amnesia who is attempting to stop an outbreak of the Blacklight virus in Manhattan. Prototype features an open world to explore, and outside of battling against the virus-mutated creatures, Mercer must uncover mysteries concerning his past while brushing shoulders with the US military and Blackwatch, a special operations force.
