Indonesia's Game Rating System (IGRS) handed out major spoilers like discount coupons this weekend, exposing over an hour of late-game footage from IO Interactive's upcoming 007: First Light, including an extended look at the ending. The security flaw left privately submitted classification videos from developers publicly accessible through a backend vulnerability, turning a routine ratings process into an unintended premiere.
Affected titles extend beyond Bond's origin story to include Bandai Namco's RPG Echoes of Aincrad, Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed: Black Flag remake—internally tagged Resynced—and Konami's recently announced Castlevania: Belmont's Curse. While footage from 007: First Light has circulated online, clips from the others have not surfaced as of this writing. Compounding the issue, the breach dumped approximately 1,000 developer emails, including contacts from AAA studios and Hoyoverse, ripe for phishing or worse.
Community reactions on Reddit and X lean toward spoiler warnings rather than outrage, with outlets like VGC and Eurogamer advising filters and avoidance. Neither IO Interactive nor the IGRS has issued a statement, but the site has since been patched. Developers worldwide now have one more reason to triple-check where they send pre-release assets.
This isn't the first ratings board leak, but exposing emails alongside spoilers elevates it from nuisance to genuine industry liability. The paper trail here leads directly to preventable oversight.
