Ubisoft's Project U has been plagued by a series of unfortunate leaks, starting with gameplay footage that surfaced as early as 2022, shortly after the closed beta testing phase began. These leaks have reappeared two years later, indicating that the project remains active and in development. Recently, following what seems to be a reboot of the game's development, an introductory cinematic has been leaked online.
The authenticity and origin of the cinematic have yet to be officially verified. It was shared by blogger Shaun Weber, known for his history of leaking gaming content. Weber has 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. According to the leaked footage, the game's narrative centers around an alien machine invasion of Earth, with players assuming the roles of selected individuals tasked with fighting this extraterrestrial menace.
As of now, Ubisoft has not provided any official statements regarding the formal announcement of Project U.
