Epic Games Store Leak: Everything We Know so Far

An Epic Games Store leak points to a variety of future releases that will be coming and here is a list of everything that we know so far.

The database leak was only out for a brief shining moment before it was plugged close, but not before showing players some of the titles that they can expect in the near future. These titles include the Final Fantasy 9 remake and The Last of Us 2.

The leak was first discovered by the Famiboards forum and people later realized that EpicDC's publisher search results were including unreleased titles along with live games.

Many of the titles were listed under codenames, but some users were able to puzzle their way in based on related listings, such as the names of associated DLC.

While the links are now all dead, Momo is presumed to be the Final Fantasy 9 remake due to the presence of the Thief's Knives preorder bonus and Tetra Master Starter Pack early-purchase bonus.

On the other hand, Skobeloff was said to be Final Fantasy 16 due to the cloud save folder, according to PCGamer.

Many people also assume that some of the games that were leaked out from the EpicDC were fakes that were enabled by Epic's self-publishing tools. But there was enough in the leak that looked legitimate enough to get people talking online.

Adding to this legitimacy is the fact that the apparent EpicDC creator, or at least the one who is claiming to be on Discord, is ximton. The user has, until a couple of years ago, been a prolific Fortnite dataminer and leaker.

At this point, everything is entirely speculative but the situation also brings to mind the great Nvidia leak of 2021. That was also considered to be "speculative," in the words of Nvidia not long after the leak began to spread.

The list of games featured titles by various publishers, including Bethesda, Sega, Sony, Square Enix, and others. Another codename that was seen was Selma, which is believed to be the PC port of Red Dead Redemption, said The Verge.

A New Update To Address the Issue

Epic Games had pushed an update that would prevent sites such as EpicDC from scraping its list of unpublished games.

In a statement, Epic Games spokesperson Brian Sharon said that they released an update so that third-party tools cannot surface any new unpublished product titles from the Epic Games Store catalog.

The Nvidia leak that happened a few years ago included some shocking entries, including as Kingdom Hearts 4, which many fans of the franchise presumed to be an elaborate fake. However, one by one, many, not all, of the leaked titles were proven to be real.

Now, there is always the chance that some of the games included in the recent Epic Games Store leak are fake, speculative, or simply there as placeholders. But since the update that Sharon talked about, the website for the EpicDB tool also now reports that the Cloudflare server for it is down, according to Kotaku.

With the release of the latest update, it is now unlikely for users to see similar leaks from Epic for any more of its major titles. Now, only time will tell whether the recently leaked games are actually accurate.
