An unofficial website tracking the Epic Games library might have just leaked a host of upcoming games, as Wccftech reported. The site, named EpicDB, went offline shortly after it published information obtained from the Epic Games Store catalog on Monday, but this didn’t prevent people from capturing the list and sharing their discoveries.
The Leak: A Look at Upcoming Titles
You can find the list of games from publishers such as Bethesda, Sega, Sony, and Square Enix in screenshots shared by a user on a ResetEra forum. While some games, like Turok, are easily identifiable, others are listed under previously rumored codenames like “Parkside” or BioShock 4.
Speculations and Codename Mysteries
There are also titles under codenames that are new to us. Some users speculate that “Momo” might indicate a Final Fantasy 9 remake, while “Selma” could be the PC port of Red Dead Redemption 1. The codename “Utah” is believed to hint at the PC version of The Last of Us Part 2, which is rumored to be nearly ready for launch.
Epic Games’ Response to the Leak
Epic Games responded by pushing an update to prevent sites like EpicDB from scraping its list of unpublished games. “We released an update tonight so third-party tools can’t surface any new unpublished product titles from the Epic Games Store catalog,” said Epic Games spokesperson via an (Epic PR agency).
The Unanswered Mysteries
Despite the update, there are still many titles under unknown codenames, such as CurlyWurly from Sega and Brownie from Bethesda. This leaves internet detectives with plenty of puzzles to solve.
By monitoring discussions and forums, fans continue to piece together clues about these mysterious game titles. The excitement and speculation surrounding these leaks show the high level of interest in upcoming releases from major publishers.
The Impact of Leaks on the Gaming Community
Leaks like this can create a buzz in the gaming community, driving discussions and fueling anticipation for upcoming releases. However, they can also disrupt marketing plans and spoil surprises that developers have carefully planned.
