Anyone know what "Project Jackal" is? (Found on BB; removed)

I was browsing games for PS4 on Best Buy's website. I organized the games by Release Date, and the name "Project Jackal" showed up under Medieval (page 2) with no cover art. Whenever I clicked on it, the page had already been taken down and there's nothing there any longer. Whenever I clicked back the page refreshed itself and the listing was also gone. Anyone know what this might be? Link below in a quotations so as to not turn into a page preview:

"https://www.bestbuy.com/site/project-jackal-playstation-4/6255127.p?skuId=6255127"

I couldn't find anything on the internet so I was wondering if anyone had a scoop. I'm assuming Best Buy is preparing for E3 listings.

pre-post edit: I actually got the listing to appear again, this time it's updated with a $10 preorder bonus. I took a snip of the listing but I don't have access to Imgur at work so I'm unsure how to link it. Maybe someone else can get it to appear and post it. Thanks.

It says the publisher is Activision. That codename sounds familiar but can't find anything about it

Perhaps that From game that George R. R. Martin had been working on. That was rumored to be @ E3 with Microsofts conference. I'd imagine the overall success and acclaim that Sekiro garnered would make Activision want to work with 'em again, no?

Also potentially true but I'm thinking they wouldn't go up against themselves for Call of Duty. If I could have seen the publisher I would have probably assumed the new Modern Warfare and not posted this!

Eh, those games are likely going to share two totally different markets. Call of Duty didn't stop Sekiro or Crash being huge hits on their own.

Hmm, but why would BB listing have a temp. codename (assuming Project Jackal is not a literal title)?
