Prototype Biohazard Bundle: A Blast from the Past

Activision has quietly released a bundle for all the hardcore gamers out there – the Prototype Biohazard Bundle. Initially launched on Xbox One, it is now also available on PlayStation 4. This bundle includes both Prototype and Prototype 2 games, complete with all the downloadable content.

Enhanced Visuals and Gameplay

According to Activision’s recent blog post, both games have received updates for “full HD rendering, improved framerate, and higher resolution textures and effects.” This means players can expect a visually enhanced experience compared to the original versions. The bundle offers a great opportunity to relive the action-packed anti-hero adventures of the Prototype series.

The Mysterious Release

Surprisingly, Activision and Radical Entertainment chose not to make an official announcement prior to the launch. However, leaks of trophies and achievements a few weeks ago had already sparked excitement among fans. The sudden release on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4 has taken many by surprise.

A Nostalgic Package

One thing to note is that the bundle doesn’t appear to offer significant visual upgrades. While it’s unclear if the games have been remastered specifically for Xbox One, the description and screenshots don’t showcase any significant improvements. Nevertheless, for those who missed out on the series or want to relive the nostalgia, the Prototype Biohazard Bundle is definitely worth considering.

Availability and Pricing

The bundle is currently available digitally on Xbox One for $49.99. As for PlayStation 4, the release date is yet to be confirmed, although leaks suggest a July 14 launch. However, Activision plans to release both games individually on August 11, giving players the option to purchase them separately.

We have reached out to Activision for more information but have not received an immediate response. We will update this article as soon as we hear back from them.

Our Take

As gaming enthusiasts, we have mixed feelings about this release. While the Prototype series may not have received the same level of acclaim as other titles, the first game, in particular, deserved more recognition. Unfortunately, it was overshadowed by the popular Infamous series on PS3.

It is a bit peculiar that the bundle is being released in its original form when Xbox One is set to receive backward compatibility for Xbox 360 games later this year. We hope this doesn’t mean that the original versions won’t eventually become compatible with Xbox One.
