The latest breach shows that the Gen 10 Pokémon title is set to be a cross-platform release on both The Nintendo Switch and its successor. The news is now emerging a few days after it was reported that Pokémon developer Game Freak had been breached, suffering the loss of 1 terabyte of data. Some of the stolen materials include source code for older games in the franchise like Black and White 2, as well information about unannounced projects including the Gen 10 game codenamed Gaia, which played a big role. The leak also confirms that the previously reported next Nintendo console is called “Ounce.”
All About the Gen 10 Pokémon Game Being Leaked
Along with the Gen 10 game, leaks have revealed other future projects from Game Freak. The developer is also working with ILCA on a game called Synapse, which the insiders say will be a multiplayer PvP battle-focused title. That said, there are also a few traces of the rumored Pokémon MMO fans have been hoping for over the years. Game Freak may not be the only game developer with a big data breach on its hands.
In another embarrassing high-profile incident last year, Insomniac Games, the developer of Marvel’s Spider-Man and Ratchet and Clank games, had a large amount of sensitive data stolen by ransomware attackers including employee personal details as well as vital data about upcoming projects. The events underscore a worrying pattern in the game sector, where more and more confidential information is endangered by cyberattacks.
While interest from fans heightens for this revelation, concerns mount on the issue of data security and its wider implications with these leaks. The upcoming Gen 10 game, alongside other projects like Synapse and the rumored MMO, promises to be an exciting time for Pokémon enthusiasts, albeit under a cloud of concern regarding the safety of game development processes.
