New Developer Trailer for PROTOTYPE 2 - Hunt. Kill. Become.

Activision and Radical Entertainment have released a great new developer game trailer for Prototype 2 called Hunt. Kill. Become. The video takes you behind the scenes with the developers at Radical Entertainment as they talk about the new skills that James Heller has at his disposal in the new game. The trailer also shows off some great new footage from the game.

The game looks like a lot of fun, and fans of the first game should be looking forward to this. Here's a breakdown of the game.

The game takes place 14 months after the first Prototype, Manhattan has been quarantined and blocked from the other boroughs of New York City, which has been renamed New York Zero (NYZ). The boroughs of New York have been divided into three zones, the Red Zone, Yellow Zone and the Green Zone. Each region stands for how affected New York City is by the Blacklight Virus.

The Red Zone is the home of Alex Mercer, in it the Blacklight Virus grows unhindered, thrives and mutates, the Red Zone is the destroyed Manhattan. The Yellow Zone is a triage area full of shanty towns and the poor, it is very crowded and while the virus grows there, it is at a minimum and Blackwatch is also using the Yellow Zone as a petri dish. The Green Zone is non-infected New York City, except there is a heavy Blackwatch presence.

James Heller will have missions in each zone and each mission's difficulty will depend on which zone it takes place in. Blackwatch is credited as occupying and controlling NYZ, but they are said to know that New York actually belongs to Alex Mercer even though the latter has become a ghost and is only seen rarely and even then only a glimpse of him for a split second can be caught. 

Due to the mutation of the virus, Heller is not completely like Mercer in terms with the virus. The virus' mutation has granted it tendrils, which make's Heller's appearance more fluid and organic than Mercer's black and red, metallic coloration.

Prototype 2 will be released worldwide on April 24, 2012. Check out the trailer below and hit us up with your thoughts!
