A recent leak from the Epic Games Store revealed a number of upcoming titles that have yet to be officially announced. This unexpected revelation has caused quite a stir in the gaming community.
A newly developed tool for extracting data from the Epic Games Store database has revealed several entries that were apparently not intended for public knowledge.
Possible Upcoming Games Revealed Through Data Mining
Data miners using a new tool to read the store's data made this leak from the Epic Games Store possible. These talented minds came across information that was not directly visible on the site, but hidden in the code. Their findings include a variety of code names for games and projects that have yet to be officially revealed, indicating that their release on the Epic Games Store is planned for the future.

Notable Titles In The Leak
So which specific games are involved? The leak mainly contains code names such as "Momo" and "Skobeloff", which the data miners have interpreted as referring to certain expected titles. According to their findings, some of the notable games include:
- Final Fantasy 9 Remake
- A new Turok game by Saber Interactive
- The Last of Us Part 2 (PC version)
- Red Dead Redemption (PC version)
In response to the leak, Epic Games has already taken action. If you were hoping to take part in cracking those code names, you might be out of luck. As reported by Kotaku, an Epic spokesperson has confirmed that the store has since been patched, making the data extraction tool ineffective.
For now, fans will have to wait for official confirmations and announcements regarding these potential releases.
