A new rumor suggests that Prototype, the cult classic action game, might be getting a remastered version. According to dataminers and community sleuthing, recent Steam updates appear to add hidden test maps, new credits, and references to studios known for remasters—fueling speculation that this long-dormant franchise is getting revived.

Clues That Sparked the Speculation

Recently, both Prototype and Prototype 2 received unannounced 600 MB updates on Steam. What raised eyebrows wasn’t just the lack of patch notes; dataminers discovered test maps, new developer credits, and even mentions of Ubisoft Connect — a platform that didn’t exist when the original game first released. New credits list Iron Galaxy Studios, a developer with a track record of remastering older titles. That connection is seen as one of the stronger hints backing these rumors.

What This Could Mean (And What’s Unknown)

If this remaster rumor is true, fans may see updated visuals, modern compatibility fixes, and possibly even new content. That said, nothing has been confirmed by Activision or the original developers. It’s not yet clear which platforms would be supported, how extensive the remaster would be, or when it might launch.

Until there’s an official announcement, this remains speculative—but the recent Steam updates and credit changes are giving fans reason to remain hopeful.
