Epic Games leak points to a number of yet-to-be-announced games

0

A recent database leak from Epic Games suggests that there may be a long list of unannounced games on the way. All of these games are expected to appear on the Epic Games Store at some point in the future. The game titles come from a variety of different publishers, including games from Bethesda, SEGA, Sony, and Square Enix.

The leak was discovered by users of gaming forum ResetEra and has since been spotted by Wccftech as well. The information collected from ResetEra users comes from a third-party tool called EpicDB. The leak, which surfaced on June 11 after EpicDB pulled data from the Epic Games Store, lists a variety of upcoming games. Some of these are listed under their actual titles. Oblivion, Morrowind, Fallout 4, Sonic Superstars, and God of War Ragnarok are all listed.

Epic Games database leak could hint at Final Fantasy IX remake

While the games listed above have all been released in some form on one platform or another, there are many games under codenames that have supposedly not been announced yet. One of these is the Final Fantasy IX Remake. Square Enix has never confirmed that this game is being made. However, it has appeared in leaks before. There was an old leak from 2021 around GeForce NOW that hinted at the possibility of Square Enix's popular RPG being remade in the same capacity as Final Fantasy VII Remake.

It would be released for modern platforms and may also come to PC at some point. The Final Fantasy IX Remake is not listed under that exact name in the EpicDB listing, but users suspect it could be a title under the Square Enix section codenamed Momo. There is also mention of a “Momo Deluxe Upgrade DLC.” This could indicate an expansion or an enhanced version of the game with additional in-game items or bonuses.

There are also a number of other titles with code names, including some that are presumably PC ports of The Last of Us Part 2, Red Dead Redemption 1 and Bioshock 4.

Third-party tools can no longer find unpublished titles

While there is no evidence yet that any of these unreleased games are actually real, Epic is apparently not taking any chances. The Epic Games Store has now been updated to prevent third-party tools from surfacing unreleased games. “We released an update tonight to prevent third-party tools from surfacing new unreleased product titles from the Epic Games Store catalog,” an Epic spokesperson told Wccftech.
