Update: Epic would like us to include the following statement:
“We released an update so third-party tools can’t surface any new unpublished product titles from the Epic Games Store catalog.” – Epic
A recent leak from the Epic Games Store database has revealed several unannounced PC games. The unofficial site, EpicDB, functioned similarly to SteamDB. It allowed visitors to see secret game projects and compile lists. However, it has now been taken offline.
Unveiling Hidden Games
Before its shutdown, EpicDB enabled users to check different game publisher pages. This revealed unpublished titles, mostly codenamed. For instance, Saber Interactive’s page listed a new Turok game. SNK had Metal Slug Attack Reloaded, and Paradox Interactive showed Project Batman.
Other mysterious listings included PlayStation’s “Utah,” Rockstar’s “Semla,” and Square Enix’s “Momo.” These could potentially be PC versions of anticipated games. Users suggested they might be The Last of Us Part 2, Red Dead Redemption, and a Final Fantasy 9 remake.
A reliable leaker claimed that The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered for PC has been ready for over seven months. This leak has stirred excitement and speculation within the gaming community. The Epic Games Store has since updated its system to prevent third-party tools from accessing unpublished titles.
While the leaked games have not been officially announced, this incident has heightened anticipation. Gamers are eager to see if these titles will be confirmed and released in the future. The leak serves as a reminder of the dynamic nature of the gaming industry and the constant evolution of game development and announcements.
