The much delayed and formerly homeless title, Prototype, has finally been given a release date from its publisher, Activision Blizzard. The game, which is often confused with another open-world, supernatural game, inFamous, has had one of the most difficult development cycles in recent memory. But…..You will be able to slice and dice via Prototype on June 9th in North America and, suprisingly, June 5th in Europe. I have been watching over this game ever since the GameTrailer TV episode that featured the title and tickled my open world fancy. I can’t wait to get my hands on this game and you should not forget it, even though it was supposed to come out months ago. Hopefully, Prototype has only been polished during the delays. Look for more as we get it. I have posted the press release below for your reading pleasure.

Fueled by a three-way war between Alex, the Blackwatch (military) and a viral outbreak known as the Infected, players venture into a deep, dark conspiracy 40 years in the making!
