Those who are well-versed in Steam will likely be familiar with SteamDB. This publicly-available, unofficial database provides all sorts of figures and information about the games available in the storefront and now, a similar tool for Epic Games exists.
At least, it existed. The newly established EpicDB (which is now offline) was intended to provide all the same information for titles on the Epic Games Store but it looks like a little too much information was put on display. Within hours of going live, users were seemingly able to see codenames and titles for a multitude of unannounced projects from publishers including SEGA, Ubisoft, Saber Interactive and many more.
Having realised that its private date was being made public, Epic Games released an update to hide all unpublished titles on the database. Yet, as you'd expect, Reddit and ResetEra users were quick to note down all titles before they were removed and there are some rather interesting inclusions.
Perhaps the most notable for us Nintendo fans is the mention of a 'Turok' project from Saber Interactive. It's unclear whether this would be a new game in the dino-hunting series or a remaster, but a Switch release feels like a safe bet either way given the series' N64 origins and 2019 Switch remaster.
Other eye-catching mentions on the list are 'SanJose' from Square Enix (believed to be another Tomb Raider bundle), 'Osiris 2.0' from Bethesda ('Osiris' was originally linked to Doom 64) and mention of the Knights of the Old Republic remake from Saber Interactive under the 'Knightling' codename — one we already knew about, but it's nice to see it's still alive and well, all the same.
As highlighted by Eurogamer, EpicDB also included listings for Red Dead Redemption and The Last of Us Part II PC ports.
The full list of leaked codenames was shared to the r/GamingLeaksAndRumours Reddit forum by user -LastGrail- prompting speculation about what project could be attached to each. It's worth bearing in mind that many of the linked projects are nothing more than a guess at the moment, so take it all with a hefty pinch of salt.
Still, there are some interesting prospects here. On top of the rumoured Nintendo codenames which have popped up from renowned leaker Midori (みどり) in recent weeks, it seems exciting are times ahead. If only there were a Nintendo Direct around the corner to start confirming a thing or two, eh?
What do you make of this new batch of leaked codenames? Do any catch your eye? Let us know in the comments.

Do we have to have details of the rumours listed like that on the homepage!
I hope everything doesn't get leaked before the Nintendo Direct. It'll ruin all the hype and surprise.
@Anti-Matter really? You've never mentioned that before
That Turok is probably Rage Wars. The N64 ports have beem wildly successful and its the last one.
Interesting, looking forward to seeing which ones will get officially announced among these and when!
@Paraka It would be a waste to port that game over since it's just a multiplayer-only game with a short campaign.
If Saber is allegedly involved, it better be a brand new game since I kept hearing how Night Dive always wanted to make a new Turok game. And I'm all in support of them making a brand new Turok game with the same vibes as the original, after that stellar System Shock remake, I'd be fully confident in them making a new entry in the series.
Tomb Raider 4-6 remastered would be cute.
Why would ‘SanJose’ be about Tomb Raider?
@russell-marlow - Honestly, that wouldn't be that much a waste as they have done other multiplayer games in similar veins. Hell, many constantly suggest them skip over 3 for RW, wildly received better.
At this point, it is easy money.
@carlos82 - heheheh
@russell-marlow given that the multiplayer was absent from the switch releases,Rage Wars would be a smart move. Might not do that great on other consoles but for the switch alone,I’d say it’d be easy money
@Paraka You say that and funnily enough Night Dive put a message in the credits of Turok 3 Remaster to have fans stop asking for Rage Wars. So even Night Dive is annoyed and after they went to great lengths to get Turok 3 remastered.
Despite the reception, Turok 3 is still a fully-fledged single player game even if it's a bit short, it's still replayable.
Rage Wars is basically: "We have Quake Arena at home."
Not to mention, Turok 2 already has a multiplayer a mode, what's the point of having Rage Wars remastered if take up time and resources better spent on remastering other more popular games rather than a niche multiplayer game like that?
So yeah, if you really want Rage Wars, good luck finding the source code.
@MitchaK The Switch with it's crappy internet and low latency is sure going to encourage people to buy and play the game for about a week before everyone gets frustrated about it and moves to more greener pastures like Splatoon or Mario Kart.
Easy money down the drain😂
Would not be surprised to see a port of the 2008 Turok happening and not a new game. But, I don't fully expect much more outside of that as despite the excellent remasters I highly doubt we'd get a new Turok game as I don't think Turok has had a new comic in almost a decade so the franchise is pretty dormant. I could be wrong and would be pleasantly surprised, but I doubt it.
Tomb Raider wouldn't have anything to do with Square-Enix now. They retained most of Eidos' IP, so it could refer to another one of them; probably Just Cause.
I just find it funny that Timmy was caught with his pants down so obliviously. They really do not clean up their tables at all. How is EGS such a mess?
@Anti-Matter That's the kind of random assortment of AA publishers my weirdness typically only recognizes. Why do you have those tastes?
@Zeebor15 It could be a new Deus Ex or Legacy of Kain game. I think Embracer and Eidos expressed interest in going back to those franchises a couple years ago.
@Zeebor15
Because I only interested with something cute, something colorful, something looks kiddie / cartoonish but must be appropriate to see by kids.
Any inappropriate stuffs from video games I consider as something very offending and attacking me and I hate them.
Nintendo's big Summer Fest sale ends June 16th, and the next Thursday would be the 20th... Sounds about right. So either June 20th or the 27th... 🧐🧮📊⚖️
Removed - disrespecting others; user is banned
I’m genuinely shocked there aren’t more Tomb Raider games on Switch. Especially the newer ones like TR 2013 and Rise of the TR could run on the 360 so why no Switch. Even the ones released in the 2000s like Underworld and Legends would be welcome.
@russell-marlow - They put it in the game, not an actual message, so everyone is clear reading both our comments here.
That being said, we are not sure if they're just being cheeky. We have records of many companies denying requests about a game or release of something, and later still make it. Hell Nintendo of all people does this often when we are talking consoles. So it may be them trying to divert, but also not able to announce anything on a project they may be doing.
I mean, there is a reason Turok fans clamor for Rage Wars over MP in Turok 2. Many favor it as the defacto multiplayer experience.
It's why I bet on it, regardless if others feel different. But they can also go straight to Evolution and totally ruin all the goodwill they made. But no one is asking for that release.
Please, please let this Turok be a return to the dumb fun of 1 and 2. Fps can be fun again. Just do a fun boom shoot with dinos and robo dinos please.
@Wexter The leak specifies Square-Enix as the publisher so it can't be either of those two either. Square-Enix gave them 7 IP; Arena Battel Champions, Tomb Raider, Theif, Deus Ex, Kain, Championship Manager, and the mobile rights to Hitman.
@Zeebor15 Good point... yeah in that case Just Cause makes the most sense.
@Paraka I personally would love to see Turok Evolution on current systems.
What's the mention of Doom about?
A Tomb Raider Legend-Anniversary-Underworld bundle on Switch would be fantastic!
@Paraka In a recent podcast, there were fans who were asking for Evolution.
