Radical Entertainment, developers of Prototype, are closing down as the Prototype IP did not find a broad commercial.
RIP Radical Entertainment 1991-2012
Activision then confirmed to Kotaku that Radical Entertainment wasn't actually closed down, but that its staff has been reduced to a minimum:
Although we made a substantial investment in the Prototype IP, it did not find a broad commercial audience. Radical is a very talented team of developers, however, we have explored various options for the studio, including a potential sale of the business, and have made a difficult conclusion through the consultation process that the only remaining option is a significant reduction in staff. As such, some employees will remain working for Radical Entertainment supporting other existing Activision Publishing projects, but the studio will cease development of its own games going forward.
