Indonesia Game Rating Flaw Leaks 007 First Light Footage

Published 13 April 2026

A security flaw in Indonesia's Game Rating System has exposed hours of unreleased gameplay footage online, including major spoilers for IO Interactive's upcoming James Bond title, 007 First Light, and content from several other anticipated games.

The breach, discovered over the weekend, allowed privately submitted videos—intended for rating purposes—to become publicly accessible. Developers routinely provide such footage to classification boards to evaluate elements like violence, language, or suggestive themes, but these materials are typically kept confidential until after release. In this case, the leak has resulted in over an hour of material from 007 First Light circulating on social media and forums, revealing key story moments and the game's ending. The incident also affected footage from Bandai Namco's Echoes of Aincrad, an action RPG set for release on July 10, where cutscenes depicting significant plot developments have surfaced. Submissions for Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake and Konami's platformer Castlevania: Belmont's Curse were part of the exposure, though no widespread circulation of their videos has been reported yet.
