The videogame giant was in fact the victim of a ransomware attack that blocked and encrypted data contained in the servers. Leading the attack - reports Capcom itself - is a group calling itself Ragnar Locker, who asked for money in exchange for the return of the stolen data. Following this complex scenario, leaks - or potential leaks - linked to Capcom's activities and future projects have followed one another on the network. The latter involve the main IPs of the company and have been summarized and collected by the videogame community active on Resetera. Below, the main information:
Resident Evil Village: publication on PS4 and Xbox One, launch in April preceded by a Demo; Project Highway / Village Online: multiplayer project linked to Resident Evil, a sort of battle royale; Ace Attorney: a collection coming to Nintendo Switch and PS4; "Guillotine": code name of a project coming to Nintendo Switch in February and to other platforms in May; "Project Reiwa": coming in May, no details; Monster Hunter Rise: on PC in October 2021; demo for Nintendo Switch in January and March; Monster Hunter Stories 2: in June 2021 on Switch and PC; Resident Evil 4 for Oculus VR; "Shield": new multiplayer shooter; In addition, details - or presumed so - on commercial agreements have appeared online. Among these, we note a $ 10 million expenditure by Google to bring RE7 and RE Village to Stadia, while Sony would have spent $ 5 million for RE7 VR and the exclusivity of the Demo.
Given the peculiarity and delicacy of the situation, we invite you to remember that the data disclosed could be entirely or partially incorrect. Resetera users also report that some information may have been extracted from dated files.
