If you thought a Ubisoft employee mouthing off about Assassin's Creed Unity was something, Square Enix had to suffer through an even more embarrassing indignity when the title of the third entry into their Tomb Raider reboot franchise, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, was leaked almost 18 months before the official announcement.

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.
