Game Freak, the renowned developer behind the Pokémon video game series, has experienced a significant data breach, referred to as a ‘teraleak.’ This breach has resulted in the exposure of substantial employee records and information regarding upcoming projects. Recent reports indicate that a large amount of data has been made publicly available, purportedly taken from Game Freak studios. While specifics about the hacking incident and the perpetrators remain undisclosed, fans are now sifting through the leaked information for new insights into the future of Pokemon, including details about upcoming films.
According to ComicBook, Pokemon is toiling around for ideas for its 24th film, which has the codename Bauer. The film’s production originally began in 2021 with no developments so far. It was meant to drop; however, the release was pushed back indefinitely. Going by the latest leak, fans got their hands on a rough synopsis for the Pokemon film, which is said to be “darker.” Set in modern Kanto, the film will show Mew as the main mythical creature. It would tell the story of Light and Akari, who navigate the challenges of adolescence, including cyberbullying and suicidal thoughts.
