Radical Entertainment confirmed the upcoming release of Prototype 2 for PC is still coming next month as planned. Activision said the studio will no longer create games for the publisher and laid off a significant number of employees yesterday.

"We're very proud of what we achieved with the Prototype franchise, but unfortunately, the Blacklight virus didn't spread as far as it could," Radical said on Facebook. "For PC gamers, rest assured that the PC version of Prototype 2 is still going to launch on July 24th as planned.

"And a special 'thanks' to the Prototype Army and all our extremely loyal and passionate fans for supporting Radical Entertainment. We couldn't have come this far without you."

Activision said it's looking over its options for Radical, which even includes selling studio.

    It would be interesting to see them sold to another publisher, but I don't think that will happen. Everyone seems to be downsizing.

    Hope it's a good port. I'll pick it up for PC definitely.

    Nice that they are making sure everyone can play their game.

    I suppose what confuses me is that they say Radical won't make games for the publisher. So why does Activision still lay people off if there's some faint hope for the studio? You'd think they'd just cut the studio out and let whatever happens happen. Can anyone educate me on this and their arrangement?

    Two months? Why do PC gamers usually have to wait so long for their games? Can someone explain this to me.

    I don't know if the game was any good but I never really saw any advertising for it. I only saw like two commercials.

    It shows how Activision feels about PC gamers when they declare the game a sales flop before it even launches for PC. I still plan on picking it up on Steam however.

    And watch it sell like 15 million PC copies somehow.
