DC Comics and Sierra Entertainment have announced plans to publish an all-new comic book series based on the upcoming open-world action video game Prototype. The series is set to debut this August via DC’s WildStorm imprint, with further details to be announced later this year.
“Prototype is all about shape-shifting action, and we’re using that key element to redefine the open-world game space,” said Al Simone, Sr. VP of Global Marketing, Sierra Entertainment. “Another key feature setting Prototype apart from other open-world games is its incredibly deep, conspiracy-based back-story, and by joining forces with the largest comic book publisher in the world – DC Comics – we can bring this new anti-hero and his tale to an even wider audience of comics fans and gamers alike.”
“We’re blown away with what Sierra and developer Radical Entertainment have shown us of Prototype, and know with absolute certainty that this will make for a terrific comic book,” said Hank Kanalz, VP & General Manager, WildStorm.
Prototype is currently in development at Radical Entertainment for next-gen console systems and PC, with a release planned for the autumn.
