What if we could take a look? No, this is not a leak (yet). Only our colleagues from IGN, who, because it should not fall into other hands, were already allowed to hear this Tom Clancy’s New Game and had the authorization (the duty?) To send a short gameplay teasing.

tomorrow July 19 at 11:15 am PT for the full reveal. pic.twitter.com/nZkZB8kKNf-IGN (@IGN) July 18, 2021
