Ubisoft's unannounced project, known as Project U, has been plagued by a series of unfortunate leaks. The troubles began in 2022, shortly after the closed beta testing phase commenced, with gameplay leaks emerging. These leaks have resurfaced two years later, indicating that the project is still in development. Recently, an introductory cinematic has leaked online, suggesting a possible reboot of the game's development.
The source and authenticity of the leaked cinematic remain unconfirmed. The leak was shared by blogger Shaun Weber, known for his history of leaking gaming content. Weber hinted that more videos from Project U might surface if the game continues its development trajectory.
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 selected individuals fighting against this extraterrestrial threat.
As of now, Ubisoft has not provided any official statements regarding the formal announcement of Project U.
