Video game leaks became more prevalent than ever in 2022, but that rise came with plenty of controversy.
This story is part of our 2022 in Gaming series. Follow along as we reflect on the year's best titles. Video games industry leaks and rumors aren’t a new phenomenon. Half-Life 2’s source code leaked in 2003, and rumors about what gaming companies would do next have always enamored gaming fans and media. That reached a boiling point in 2022, though.
When Sucker Punch confirmed no new Infamous or Sly Cooper games were in development in an anniversary post, though, Account NGT admitted that they had obtained the Star Wars Eclipse info by finding on on Quantic Dream’s website early and had then shared information they couldn’t verify from other sources. Account NGT stopped sharing rumors after that.
Leaks with substance Spheromancer cites rumors about The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom as being of particular interest to them. He highlighted how r/gamingleaksandrumours has seen a boom in growth this year alongside the emergence of all these new notable leakers and high-profile game reveals.
“It’s been quite an exciting year and 2023 is looking amazing, with a number of amazing games, but let’s face it, it’s not so much fun [for me] leaking new announcements anymore. In the end, users only want to know when GTA VI will be released, or if Messi will be a new Fortnite character. It’s something that doesn’t interest me.”
