Prototype 2 Pre-Order Offers 55 Pieces Of Content
In what is becoming a cool, increasing trend amongst publishers across the industry, Activision and developer Radical Entertainment are offering a free special edition of Prototype 2 that's packed with cool content.
Prototype 2's Radnet Edition is a limited offering for anybody who pre-orders the game at participating retailers before April 24.
The edition unlocks 55 pieces of varied content in weekly waves from April 24th through June 7. These include everything from events, friend vs. friend challenges, weekly themed rewards, bonus mutations for protagonist James Heller (usable in the main story mode), behind-the-scenes videos, and more. Weekly rewards are won by scoring a bronze medal in that week's event and a minimum threshold score in the challenges. Participate in all of the weekly events and challenges and you'll win what Activision is calling "the ultimate shape-shifting prize," which will be unveiled in March.
The free content also differs based on whether you get the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 version of the game. Xbox 360 owners will get five free Avatar items, while PS3 owners get five exclusive animated themes.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
