Ubisoft's unannounced Project U has had a turbulent journey. Gameplay leaks, initially surfacing in 2022 following closed beta testing, resurfaced in 2024, hinting at the project's ongoing development. Now, a leaked introductory cinematic, shared by gaming blogger Shaun Weber—known for his history of leaks—further fuels speculation. Weber suggests more leaks may follow if development continues.
The cinematic's authenticity remains unconfirmed, but it paints a picture of a session-based cooperative shooter, seemingly inspired by Helldivers 2. The leaked footage depicts an alien invasion of Earth, with players as chosen defenders fighting back against this extraterrestrial threat.
While the leaked cinematic offers a glimpse into Project U's potential, Ubisoft remains officially silent on the game's announcement date.
