Ubisoft has been grappling with a series of unfortunate events surrounding its unannounced game, Project U. The leaks started as early as 2022, right after the closed beta testing phase began, and have resurfaced recently, indicating that the project is still in development. The latest development includes the leak of an introductory cinematic, hinting at a possible reboot of the game's development.
The origin and authenticity of the leaked cinematic remain unconfirmed. It was shared by blogger Shaun Weber, known for his history of leaking gaming content. Weber suggested that more videos from Project U could emerge if the game continues to be developed for an extended period.
Project U is anticipated to be a session-based cooperative shooter, taking inspiration from the success of Helldivers 2. The leaked footage suggests a storyline centered around an alien machine invasion of Earth, with players stepping into the shoes of selected individuals tasked with repelling this extraterrestrial threat.
As of now, Ubisoft has not provided any official updates or announcements regarding the release or further details of Project U.
