Which games are in the leak?

The list includes the project calledSemla
, which comes from developer Rockstar Games. If you compare its estimated file size with the PS4 version of Red Dead Redemption 1, the conclusion is obviousthat this is the presumed PC port.

Another interesting entry in the list is the projectUtah
, which is currently being developed at Sony Interactive Entertainment. Unsurprisingly, this is the PC version ofThe Last of Us 2, as the game is set in the US state of the same name.

Also on the list of leaked games areBioshock 4, which is currently being developed under the codenameParkside
anda new Turok For the younger ones among you: That was a series of first-person shooters with dinos that appeared in the early 2000s.

The remake of the classic role-playing game Knight of the Old Republic, which has been languishing in development hell for five years now, is also listed there.

How did Epic respond?
Internally, there must have been a lot of panic at Epic on Monday. The EpicDB analysis tool was shut down within a single day. This was apparently followed by an update for the internal product database. The company announced through a spokesperson:
We released an update last night so that third-party tools can no longer uncover new, unreleased product titles from the Epic Games Store catalog.
However, the damage is done. Because a leak like this cannot be undone. Now it remains to be seen how many of the revealed titles will actually be announced in the near future.
