On May 14, Arc System Works addressed the rumored leaks in a [URL='https://www.arcsystemworks.jp/portal/post-29912/'][U]statement[/U][/URL] on its official website. In the statement, the company confirmed that such a data breach had taken place, but reassured users that “as of May 12, we have not confirmed the leak of any user personal information or player account information due to the unauthorized access.” The company is currently working with outside experts to investigate and confirm the cause of the breach and determine exactly what data was leaked. It also urged people not to access the leaked data due to malware infection risks. However, Arc System Works did not comment on the content of the leak. According to [URL='https://www.dexerto.com/gaming/guilty-gear-strive-source-code-leak-explained-season-5-characters-discovered-3193826/'][U]Dexerto[/U][/URL], the leak contained a Guilty Gear Strive build that features all the remaining Season 4 characters, new moves, and what is believed to be the full Season 5 character line-up. Also apparently included in the leak, as reported by [URL='https://nintendoeverything.com/rumor-arc-system-works-leak-confirms-nintendo-switch-2-cartridge-theory/'][U]Nintendo Everything[/U][/URL], was information about the three formats available for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console: digital download only, a Game Key-Card, and a 64 GB physical game cartridge containing the full game. Codenamed “Potion” in the leak, the Game Key-Card is a sort of digital/physical hybrid, a cartridge that comes in a physical box, however it requires the user to download the game to play. So far, the Game Key-Card route seems a common choice among third-party game developers with games planned for the Switch 2. With two of these formats relying on downloads, this quickly raised concerns among video game preservationists as to how easily playable and accessible Switch 2 games will be when the console reaches the end of its lifecycle.
