In October 2016, a Redditor posted an image they took on the Montreal Metro, which appeared to show an unspecified individual working on a presentation about Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

It didn't take the Internet long to figure out what was up, even if most were simply baffled that anyone working on a new Tomb Raider game, likely bound by NDAs, would risk doing this in a public space.

No word on whether the employee was fired for their sloppiness, though.
