Overview
- The leak, posted Tuesday, Aug 25, 2026, contains more than an hour of gameplay footage that sources say came from a PlayStation 3 development kit.
- Reporters who reviewed the videos say the build is clearly unfinished and unstable and contains placeholder assets and bugs consistent with an in-development demo.
- Gameplay in the footage shows fast aerial movement, physics-driven explosions, destructible environments, gadget weapons and melee sequences that resemble Avalanche’s Just Cause design and Batman Arkham–style combat.
- Former Avalanche co-founder Christofer Sundberg publicly confirmed in 2022 that the studio worked on an unannounced Iron Man game and said Disney cut roughly a year from the schedule, a change that forced Avalanche to cancel the project rather than expand staff unsustainably.
- The leaked Avalanche build is separate from EA Motive’s ongoing Iron Man project and the footage may renew public interest in how publisher deadlines and licensing decisions shape the fate of licensed games.
