Ubisoft appears to be grappling with a challenging situation concerning its unannounced game, Project U. Gameplay leaks first emerged in 2022, shortly after the closed beta testing phase began, and these leaks have resurfaced two years later, indicating that the project is still in development. Recently, following what seems to be a reboot of the game's development, an introductory cinematic has been leaked online.
The origin and authenticity of this cinematic have not been officially confirmed. It was shared by blogger Shaun Weber, known for leaking gaming content. Weber hinted that more videos from Project U might surface if the game continues to be developed for an extended period.
Project U is anticipated to be a session-based cooperative shooter, drawing 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 combating this extraterrestrial threat.
As of now, Ubisoft has not provided any official information regarding the formal announcement of Project U.
