October 2024 Game Freak Leak#

'This page or section details content from theOctober 2024 Game Freak Leak.'''

On October 12, 2024, a terabyte's worth of data from Game Freak was leaked onto the Internet by a hacker. Among the leaks, a folder containing data from third party titles contains some materials from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's development. These were likely sent to Game Freak for feedback and approval.

Incineroar#

In ★派生作品\cross2\ガオガエン are two folders, ノーマル and リベンジ, meaning Normal and Revenge. They contain screenshots and videos of Incineroar, who was added as a new fighter in Ultimate.

Some of these screenshots depict Incineroar standing on the Battlefield from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, which was used to test the lighting engine during development.
