This past week a leak occurred stemming from Nvidia's GeForce Now game streaming platform. The leak offered up a list of games referenced in GeForce Now's databases, seemingly revealing a number of unannounced projects whose development Nvidia may have been privy to. Following the leak, Nvidia stated that the list of games was "speculative" and not authoritative. It's a list used for "internal tracking and testing." However, a new Ubisoft takedown notice implies there may be more to the list.

Pavel Djundik, a reporter for Wccftech, confirmed on Thursday that Ubisoft sent him a DMCA order to take down the list of games from the Nvidia GeForce Now datamine. That implies that Ubisoft saw something in the leak that it felt was within its rights to defend from being shared publicly, and was willing to use legal force to do so. In other words, it meant something Ubisoft-related within the leak very likely wasn't just "speculative" or intended just for testing purposes.

Since the list scraped the entire Nvidia GeForce Now database and not just unreleased projects, there are a lot of Ubisoft games to be found. Ubisoft may have wanted the list pulled for that reason alone. However, it's much more likely related to four projects listed as in development at Ubisoft that haven't been announced yet. These titles include Project Meteor from Ubisoft Sofia, Project Over by Ubisoft Paris, Project Orlando from Ubisoft Ivory Tower, and Project Q.

Project Orlando, to choose one of the listed games, is said to be a new game in The Crew franchise. Recent information about the game is that it's a standalone open-world racing game spun out of what was supposed to be a DLC for The Crew 2.

That's just one of the four games listed in Nvidia's GeForce Now leak that's reported to be a genuine project and not just speculative. As such, it's likely safe to assume that all four Ubisoft projects are real. Project Meteor, as another example, is rumored to be Assassin Creed Valhalla DLC. That leaves Project Over, from the team responsible for Ghost Recon Breakpoint and the Just Dance franchise, and the mysterious Project Meteor.

So on one hand it's entirely believable that Ubisoft DMCA'd the Nvidia GeForce Now list to keep the codenames of its unannounced projects under wraps. On the other hand, the Streisand effect is in motion, drawing even more attention to the Ubisoft games on the list than they'd otherwise have likely received. Regardless, it will be exciting to watch for updates on Ubisoft's unannounced projects going forward.
