Yesterday was certainly important for gamers thanks to events such as The Escapist Indie Showcase or the talked about PS5 The Future of Gaming, but in addition to these conferences, a certain Gods & Monsters received a sensational and important leak. In fact, the Google Stadia digital platform mistakenly entered a build of the online game, thus allowing players to try out a non-complete version of this work from Ubisoft. Today, therefore, Marc-Alexis Cote of Ubisoft Quebec released a statement to our colleagues at Eurogamer: explaining how the tone, character design, art style and even the title have now been changed. In fact, the one we have been able to witness - or some lucky users even try - is one build which was shown to the press during E3 2019.
Our vision for the product, formerly known as Gods & Monsters, has evolved in surprising ways, which is quite common when developing new and exciting worlds. The leak comes from a demo dating back to E3 2019, which was shown exclusively to the press during last June. Since then, a lot has changed inside: the tone, the character and the art design and even the name of the product. We are still working hard on it and we can't wait to show our project by the end of this summer.
A Google spokesperson finally released, in an interview with our Kotaku colleagues, a statement to publicly apologize to Ubisoft for this particular mistake.
Unfortunately, on Thursday morning, we mistakenly made available the demo version, of E3 2019, of Gods & Monsters. Hundreds of players have been able to play this version of the product, even if it is not intended or intended for the public. We sincerely apologize to our Ubisoft partners for this error.
Gods & Monsters, therefore, appears to be destined for change name by the end of summer. Waiting to find out more details on this new IP of the French publisher, we remind you of the announcement trailer published more than a year ago.
