Prototype looks to be a fun, open world romp in a futuristic setting. As a single player experience, it looks to be coming together nicely. However, no longer does it look like the multi-player functionality will be… it won’t have any.

To meet the release date, the developer has dropped the co-op play from the title. There are hints that this could be a future download post-release. So, here starts the conspiracy theory: Are they cutting it to snag an extra $10 from people after they purchased the game and labeling it as DLC? A TeamXbox interview with producer Tim Bennison goes into depth about the deletion of the multi-player. He goes onto to claim it’s been a single player experience from the start, and this keeps the game in focus.
