Ubisoft's unannounced game, Project U, has been plagued by a series of unfortunate leaks. Initially, gameplay leaks emerged in 2022, shortly after the game's closed beta testing phase began. These leaks reemerged two years later, indicating that the project is still in development. Recently, an introductory cinematic from the game was leaked online, following what appears to be a reboot of the game's development.
The leaked cinematic was shared by blogger Shaun Weber, known for leaking gaming content. Weber suggested that more videos from Project U could surface if the game continues to be developed. However, the origin and authenticity of the cinematic remain unconfirmed by Ubisoft.
Project U is anticipated to be a session-based cooperative shooter, taking inspiration from the success 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 chosen individuals tasked with fighting this extraterrestrial threat.
As of now, Ubisoft has not provided any official statements regarding the formal announcement or release date of Project U.
