10 Real Video Game Leaks Everyone Thought Were Fake
5. Final Fantasy XV's Entire Plot
Whenever an unverified user posts a bunch of "story spoilers" to a particular forum, there's a high chance that it's complete and utter nonsense. This is the internet, after all - the digital wild west. People like to troll.
On very rare occasions though, leaks like this actually turn out to be true.
This was the case when Final Fantasy XV launched in late 2016. Months before the game hit store shelves, an anonymous 4chan user posted a series of alleged plot details for everyone to read, from specific character fates, to the story's ending.
Of course, a lot of commenters dismissed these details as fake - mainly because of the source, but also because they didn't sound very exciting, and fans were hoping that the real story would be much better.
Well, unbeknownst to them, this was the real story. That random 4chan user was bang on the money, meaning that those poor souls who ended up reading what they thought was a BS leak... had actually spoiled the game for themselves.
Damn.
