Activision announces PROTOTYPE will ship in Europe on June 5 and in North America on June 9, following-up on their previous announcement that the open-world action game would be released in June. The PROTOTYPE Website (which features the kludgiest 5-step age-gate ever contrived) celebrates the news with some new content, including the first half of the game's cinematic trailer. Here's the official party line on 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!"
