Superhuman abilities, consuming targets and sabotaging military operations shape Heller’s campaign in Prototype 2. Hacking Blacknet terminals uncovers operations to disrupt, while consuming certain targets reveals information about the people and projects behind the outbreak.
Set two years after the original game, the story takes place in New York City, renamed New York Zero. Sergeant James Heller pursues Alex Mercer after his wife and daughter are declared dead. Mercer infects him with a strain of the Blacklight virus that grants him powers, then accuses Gentek and Blackwatch of responsibility for the renewed outbreak.
