EA Responds to Leaked Iron Man Gameplay Footage
[EA acknowledges the leak and teases more gameplay soon.]
The internet is buzzing after leaked gameplay footage of EA’s upcoming Iron Man game surfaced online. EA has now officially responded, acknowledging the leak with a surprisingly nonchalant “well, that didn’t go as planned.” While frustrating for fans eager to see the full reveal, this response hints at more exciting content on the horizon.
A Glimpse of What’s to Come
The leaked footage, which appeared on ResetEra from an “Aug26 test” build, offers a tantalizing look at the game’s potential. As Bertie pointed out, it showcases a sense of freedom and speed as players navigate what appears to be an open-world city space and battlefields, seamlessly transitioning between aerial combat and on-foot engagements.
EA’s official statement reads: “Well, that didn’t go as planned. But now you know, and we’ve got a lot more to show you. See you when we’re ready.” This suggests that the game is further along in development than previously indicated, and that EA plans to unveil more substantial gameplay demonstrations soon.
The Iron Man project has been shrouded in secrecy since its announcement four years ago. Previous attempts at Iron Man games have yielded mixed results, including Avalanche’s unreleased title from 2012 (also leaked) and the somewhat underwhelming appearance of Iron Man in Square Enix’s Avengers game. Fans are hoping that EA Motive can deliver a truly compelling experience that captures the essence of Tony Stark and his iconic armor.
Activision Cracks Down on Cheat Sellers with In-Person Cease-and-Desist Orders

In a bold move against cheating in Call of Duty, Activision has taken its fight directly to cheat sellers, serving a cease-and-desist order in person. The roughly one-minute clip, posted on the official Call of Duty account, shows a representative pulling up outside a house and handing over paperwork to an individual whose face is blurred throughout.
“I just got some paperwork for you,” the representative says. “Attorneys for Activision… it’s a cease-and-desist order.” The target was Elocarry, a seller known for offering cheats not only for Call of Duty but also for other popular multiplayer games like Rust and Apex Legends. Before the visit, Elocarry had been selling cheat packs specifically designed for Black Ops 7 and Warzone, advertised as undetectable by RICOCHET, with subscriptions priced up to £79.99.
Following the in-person delivery, Activision shared a screenshot from Elocarry’s Discord confirming that sales of Call of Duty products had been “temporarily paused” while a “matter” is reviewed internally. However, the rest of the storefront was said to remain active. This action underscores Activision’s commitment to maintaining fair play and protecting the integrity of its online multiplayer experiences.
Activision claims this Ohio visit is part of a much larger operation, stating that they have served over 80 cease-and-desist demands, targeted over 375 reseller operations, and shut down more than 30 vendors entirely. The message is clear: “build cheats, sell cheats, we will find you.”
Activision also used the opportunity to highlight improvements to RICOCHET anti-cheat measures ahead of Modern Warfare 4’s release, noting lower infection rates, harder-to-evade hardware bans, and faster response times during last weekend’s beta. The second beta weekend is currently underway and open to everyone, offering a multiplayer test, a campaign mission, and a Warzone battle royale drop.
Modern Warfare 4 launches on October 23rd on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch 2. The full game will feature 12 6v6 multiplayer maps, a significant increase from the four available in the beta.
