Though the Insomniac Games hack and the information gleaned from it overwhelmed video game news for the entire week, it was the second “leak” to hit this week. Shortly before, big plot spoilers for Rocksteady’s upcoming Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League were posted online and quickly circulated. But for as far as they’ve spread in recent days, it may be that some of them straight up don’t even exist in the game proper.

Per Forbes, the alleged leaker who started the whole shebang came forward to say some of the events they described may have been “mischaracterized” or wholly fabricated. What they gave was a “bastardized retelling” of the game’s events from cutscenes they found in Suicide Squad’s files following its recent closed alpha test, and those cutscenes were “incomplete or out of context.” In their Reddit post (you can read here, but has some spoilers), they cited examples while adding those events were either vaguely implied, unconfirmed, or just don’t happen. Further, they admitted those leaks are missing events from the post-game story, along with “something major” that they claim “completely recontextualizes the entire story of the game.”
