Activision has announced today that the upcoming shape-shifting game Prototype will release in the United States on June 9th, and in European territories on June 5th. To go along with the announcement the official site has opened giving players a loot at some videos and images of the game.

“PROTOTYPE lets gamers feel the power of being the ultimate shape-shifting weapon. You are the PROTOTYPE: Alex Mercer – a genetically mutated man without memory, armed with amazing shape-shifting abilities, hunting to discover what created you and determined to make those responsible pay. As Alex, gamers tear through a densely populated contemporary New York City moving with Parkour-style fluidity, consuming anybody that gets in their way…assuming their physical form, memories and abilities. 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!”

The game seems to remind me a bit of Crackdown and that is not a bad thing, it will be fun to see how this turns out after the delays and axe of co-op.
