Prototype Announced for PS3 and 360

Sierra today announced Prototype, a completely new kind of open-world game, featuring a rich story line of conspiracy, deception and deadly shape shifting action.

Prototype tells the story of Alex Mercer, a man haunted by his past, fighting a secret war in New York City. As the action spirals out of control, a conspiracy tied to his origins threatens the future of mankind itself. Mercer’s amazing shape-shifting powers allow him to become an exact replica and steal the skills or powers of anyone who crosses his path.

“Radical Entertainment has a strong pedigree of critically acclaimed, bestselling open-world games, and Sierra Entertainment is excited to see them craft an original game that has already fired up the imaginations of press and gamers alike,” said Martin Tremblay, president, Worldwide Studios for Sierra Entertainment. “PROTOTYPE represents the strength of Sierra Entertainment’s internal studios and our commitment to creating original and exciting games.”

Prototype will hit the PS3 and 360 in Summer 2008.
