Apple's TestFlight servers from 2012 to 2015 have leaked containing thousands of iOS apps and games
Terabytes of data from Apple's TestFlight service between 2012 and 2015 have surfaced online, revealing various builds of popular games and apps, including some unreleased mobile titles.
The details:
The leak dubbed the “Teraleak” due to its size, has now been made public via the Internet Archive. The archives contain prototypes and early builds of various apps, such as development builds of games such as Cut The Rope, delisted titles like Infinity Blade, and even unreleased Angry Birds titles.
The "Teraleak" is being viewed as a fantastic opportunity to try to preserve games and apps that are no longer available on the app store for various reasons, particularly those built for older iOS versions. Some companies, such as Rovio, have delisted or updated older releases to encourage users to download more recent titles, such as the original Angry Birds being removed from the Google Play Store and renamed on the App Store, making preservation more important than ever before.
A similar “gigaleak” took place in 2020, where fans managed to get their hands on prototypes, cut content, and other development materials from classic Nintendo titles, including The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Yoshi’s Island. The leak also put an end to a two-decade-long rumor of Luigi being included in Super Mario 64 when a character model was discovered.
More gaming news:
The canceled TimeSplitters reboot reportedly began as a battle royale title before evolving into a remake of the franchise's second game with new content.
Naughty Dog has officially canceled its multiplayer The Last of Us title, stating that the game's development forced it to choose between dedicating resources to a live service game and continuing to make single-player projects.
