KEY FEATURES:
DEADLY SHAPE-SHIFTING ACTION Alex Mercer is a shape-shifter with amazing powers of combat, destruction and deception. As Alex, gamers can consume and absorb any living person they come into contact with while moving through PROTOTYPEs New York City backdrop, and as such, he can gain access to their memories, assume their physical identity and use any special abilities/powers they had, each time bringing him closer to solving the growing conspiracy behind his existence. Further, Alex can mix and match genetic traits to create incredibly deadly biological weapons, including razor sharp claws, blades, armored skin, shields and more. Used correctly, Alex Mercer the PROTOTYPE is the ultimate shape-shifting weapon.

UNPRECEDENTED LOCOMOTION AND AGILITY Alex Mercers movement in PROTOTYPE is based on the art of Parkour a French term meaning to move from one point to another as quickly as possible principally using the abilities of the human body. Being more than human, nothing in PROTOTYPEs bustling New York City setting is an obstacle for Alex. Players will vault over hundreds of cars, run vertically up the sides of skyscrapers, scale huge distances in single jumps and more.


DECEIVE AND DESTROY GAMEPLAY PROTOTYPEs Deceive and Destroy gameplay allows players the opportunity to blend in with the crowded population and covertly progress through the story, or fully unleash Alexs powers, moving through New York City as a walking slaughterhouse shape-shifting and consuming enemies in plain sight on the street, commandeering military vehicles, including Apache helicopters and Abrams tanks and causing destruction at every turn.
