When Motherboard reached Walmart Canada for comment, however, a spokesperson said that the titles are "speculative."

"Walmart experienced a technical glitch that allowed certain items to be posted to our website for a short period of time," Anika Malik, director of corporate affairs for Walmart Canada, told Motherboard in an email. "The items posted were speculative in nature and only game publishers can confirm the announcement of a release. We apologize for any confusion this has caused. Like the gaming community, Walmart looks forward with anticipation to those announcements."

[Telpis]

We already knew about DC villains months ago but some please leak Pokémon switch

 

[Empyrean Cocytus]

Translation: "We fucked up, those responsible have been sacked, please still work with us game publishers."

 

[LordGorchnik]

Them damn glitches with appropriate names, pricing, platform and all.

Hate when those happen.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Speculative huh.

Rage 2 though.

 

[Charpunk]

Poor Glitch.

This makes sense. People like to jump to conclusions but this is usually how things work. You regularly find placeholder stuff in systems and usually close to E3 time. They want to be ready to get them preorders as soon as the news hits.

The first two parts are right. The third part? I mean. It's Wal Mart. You gonna do business with them regardless.

I would love if Bethesda is just using the Rage 2 leak as a red herring. Would be hilarious.

*wink*

 

[LiK]

Thanks for the confirmation that they're real.

 

[Shark]

Walmart definitely has 'speculative', totally not real products just waiting in their database all the time.

These pre-E3 announcements sure are evolving.

 

[Deleted member 25108]

Pretty much confirms the lot.

No ecommerce system is going to randomly speculate in sequels to Rage and Just cause.

 

[ShortNasty]

is there a thread for these leaks ?

 

[mrtl]

Hopefully nobody gets fired over a simple mistake.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

I'd believe it if it weren't for Rage 2. But they aren't going to make another Rage.

 

[OnanieBomb]

Is 'Glitch' the name of the cat that walked across the keyboard?

 

[Toumari]

A glitch, yet I could still see the games listed about 6 hours later.

 

[Blablurn]

Thats unfortunate

 

[FiXalaS]

Looking forward? Confirms it all.

 

[GazRB]

Nah, it's the name of the beginning pilot most likely to die in Battletech.

 

[Deleted member 15538]

Not like they spoiled anything exciting so whatever.

 

[Gradon]

I'm surprised they even bothered giving a statement. It's clearly all real though lol

 

[Avenger54321]

Glitch is about to lose their job.

 

[Animal Liberation Ⓥ]

Walmart: "There was a glitch in the Matrix. Nothing to see here, humans."

 

[LiK]

I'm surprised they even bothered giving a statement. It's clearly all real though lol

Better mention it was a glitch so the publishers don't yell at them, har har

 

[closer]

Glitch better have my money

 

[Gustaf]

so it is gears 5 or the spin off?

 

[Cantaim]

Yea sure ok

 

[mute]

Why do they feel the need to even key in all these placeholders a month+ before anyone would be attempting to preorder them?

 

[hyuckwut]

why would glitch do this?.meme

but the thing is, I am really not hyped at all about any of those leaks ;(

 

[Nathan.exe]

Fuckinh glitch ruining the fun for everyone

 

[Sangetsu-II]

Forza Horizons 5 and Gears 5 but no Halo. Weird E3 we gonna have this year.

 

[NoKisum]

"Glitch" is probably the nickname of their head IT guy. Who is probably fired and blacklisted after this. RIP Glitch.

 

[Deleted member 8196]

GLITCH

They confirmed a lot of games, E3 ruined.

 

[AlexFlame116]

So it's all real then?

[Plankton2]

Why aren't these people trying to just lie and say it's a mistake.
