Ubisoft's upcoming title, Project U, appears to be mired in a series of unfortunate leaks that started as early as 2022, shortly after the closed beta testing phase began. These leaks have resurfaced two years later, indicating that the project is still in active development. Recently, following what seems to be a reboot of the game's development, an introductory cinematic has leaked online, adding to the buzz around this unannounced game.
The leaked cinematic, shared by gaming blogger Shaun Weber, who has a track record of leaking gaming content, has yet to be officially verified for authenticity or origin. Weber has hinted that more videos from Project U could emerge if the game's development continues for an extended period.
Project U is anticipated to be a session-based cooperative shooter, taking inspiration from the successful gameplay mechanics of Helldivers 2. According to the leaked footage, the game's narrative centers around an alien machine invasion of Earth, with players assuming the roles of selected individuals tasked with defending the planet against this extraterrestrial threat.
As of now, Ubisoft has not provided any official statements regarding a formal announcement or release date for Project U. Fans and followers of the game will need to stay tuned for further updates from Ubisoft on this intriguing project.
