A leak from Walmart Canada has reported numerous games, even though they have not yet been announced: Borderlands 3, Just Cause 4, Rage 2 or Destiny Comet. Now there’s a statement from Walmart regarding the major alleged E3 leak: It was based purely on speculation.
Walmart as a gossip. A supposed leak from Walmart Canada has made the rounds in recent days. The retailer’s website announced game after game on Wednesday. Among them Rage 2, Borderlands 3, Splinter Cell, Just Cause 4, and Destiny Comet. We reported on this.
Technical error leads to E3 leak
The big E3 leak. For some sites, this was the “big E3 leak.” Some thought Walmart had received inside information and that it had been published by accident. In this interpretation, it was a huge scoop: The leak purportedly revealed the entire setup of this year’s E3, some said. However, they will now be disappointed.
Purely speculative. In an interview with Motherboard, Walmart has now stated that the leak was of a technical nature. Due to an error, items were briefly posted on the website. These items were purely speculative. Only the publisher can make a release date or an announcement. Walmart apologizes for the confusion. They themselves look forward to the announcement.
Not soothing anyone. Conspiracy theorists are now stepping up: “Of course, they say that. What else could they say?” After all, Walmart could hardly admit that all the wonderful E3 secrets were spoiled in advance due to a technical error.
Leak seems credible to many. Because the leak also includes games that are known to be coming, like Destiny Comet or The Division 2, the leak is of great interest to many. It combines them with sequels and games that players have been waiting for a long time. It seems that Walmart simply hires a gamer who keeps track of current rumors and ideas. For many titles on the Walmart list, the gaming community is firmly convinced that they will come. No insider information is needed for that.
