Everything you need to know about the Epic Games leak
The recent Epic Games leak from its store database has caused quite a stir within the gaming community, revealing a wealth of information about upcoming titles and projects that were previously only rumored or speculated upon.
The leak originated from EpicDB, a third-party website that functions similarly to SteamDB. These platforms scrape data from the backend of digital storefronts like the Epic Games Store to provide information such as game listings, price changes, and other metadata. EpicDB specifically accessed and compiled data from Epic Games’ servers, capturing details that were not intended for public release. Here is how the Epic Games Store leak happened:
- These scraping tools typically access the Epic Games Store’s Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that are intended for internal use by Epic Games and its authorized partners. APIs allow for programmatic access to data and functionalities within the Epic Games Store ecosystem.
- In this case, the leak occurred when EpicDB’s scraping tool accessed and retrieved more data than intended or expected. This could be due to a misconfiguration, oversight, or a loophole in Epic Games’ API security measures.
- The leaked information included a wide range of upcoming game titles, codenames for projects in development, and potentially sensitive details about unreleased products. This data was not intended for public dissemination at the time of the Epic Games leak.
- Gaming enthusiasts and industry watchers often monitor platforms like EpicDB for insights into upcoming releases. When unusual or unexpected data appears, it can quickly gain attention and speculation within these communities.
In response to inquiries and growing discussions, Epic Games eventually confirmed the authenticity of the leaked information and here are some of the upcoming titles from the Epic Games leak: Saber Interactive appears to be working on a potential remake or remaster of Turok, while the long-rumored Final Fantasy 9 remake has been essentially confirmed, complete with references to pre-order bonus DLCs. Additionally, Square Enix’s recent confirmation of a PC port for Final Fantasy 16 aligns with leaked information. PlayStation’s trend of porting its exclusives to PC suggests a forthcoming release of The Last of Us PC port, possibly after God of War: Ragnarok. Meanwhile, BioShock 4 is in development under Cloud Chamber, contrasting with Ken Levine’s current project, Judas. Rockstar Games’ project “Semla” hints at a PC port of Red Dead Redemption, judging by its file size, and THQ Nordic seems poised to conclude the Remnant trilogy with Remnant 3.
Epic Games acknowledged that the data was indeed sourced from their backend systems, prompting them to take immediate measures to prevent further unauthorized access and leaks of unpublished product titles. An Epic Games spokesperson informed Eurogamer that measures have been implemented to prevent third-party tools from revealing unpublished product titles in the Epic Games Store catalog moving forward.
