The biggest ongoing story in gaming leaks right now is
Resident Evil Requiem (aka RE9).
Physical copies leaked early, leading to widespread spoilers including full plot details, ending videos, major character fates (e.g., potential Leon death scenarios, no returns for Jill/Claire/Ada as playable), multiple endings, boss fights (giant spider, Mr. X, HUNK, Nemesis transformation tied to villain Victor), and story elements like Grace as protagonist, Victor as main antagonist (Wesker clone connections), and the Elpis anti-virus.
Capcom is struggling to contain it with takedowns, but spoilers are everywhere online—avoid social media/forums if you want to go in blind.
Review embargo reportedly lifts February 25 at 7AM PT, with launch on February 27 across PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch 2.
Other notable recent leaks and rumors:
- God of War trilogy remakes confirmed via Christopher Judge (Kratos voice actor): TC Carson (original young Kratos) returns, overhauled combat system.
New Santa Monica Studio game (not mainline) reveal expected late summer 2026.
- Bluepoint Games shutdown: Sony is closing the studio (per Bloomberg/Jason Schreier), despite their strong remake track record (Demon's Souls, Shadow of the Colossus, etc.).
Heavy criticism toward PlayStation leadership for this move amid other live-service pushes.
- Monster Hunter Wilds datamine: Evidence of a Switch 2 port, including local multiplayer support between Switch 2 devices.
- PS6 hardware rumors (via leaker Kepler clarifications):
RDNA 5-based with console-optimized features (not full PC desktop GPU parity), up to 30GB GDDR7 RAM, and potential high-end handheld variant.
- Other scattered bits:
Rumors of Chrono Trigger remake/remaster in development;
possible Witcher 3 expansion
(Zerrikania/Ciri focus) for 2026;
Sonic next big original title in 2027 with modern 3D art, large cast/story, and movie ties;
Highguard studio shutdown imminent (Tencent-backed).
For real-time chatter, r/GamingLeaksAndRumours is still the main hub—lots of RE Requiem roundup threads there right now.
