Ubisoft has just released an official statement following the discovery of a 2GB RAR file on its Ubi.com FTP server containing information, video, artwork and screens from its upcoming roster of titles.

Alongside assets from the likes of Far Cry Wii, Lost, Naruto, Open Season, Rainbow Six: Vegas, Splinter Cell 4, Surf's Up, Shaun White Snowboarding, Star Wars: Lethal Alliance on PSP, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Assassin's Creed, the file also detailed a number of previously unannounced titles, including brand new Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell games, plus Far Cry and Rocky on PSP.

The offending Ubisoft archive, has since been removed and the company has issued the following statement:
"We are clearly displeased that confidential information from Ubisoft has been distributed on the internet. The publication of this type of information can only be harmful to the game development process and we will take all steps necessary to prevent this from happening in the future. We are still investigating the events that lead to this information leak and at this time have no further comment."
In addition, these images have begun to dissapear accross the few sites that actually hosted them. Fortunetely for Ubisoft, the majority of the websites didn't host anything, just linked to the same 2-3 websites (like Imageshack) that actually had them. I have .PSD copies of all the Naruto images that were leaked, but will not post them until I learn more about Ubisoft's stand on what's going on.
