Walmart blames "glitch" for the massive leak

The listings were also apparently "speculative in nature."

As we recently reported, the Canadian branch of Walmart caused what might be the biggest leak of the year, including plenty of unannounced games like Rage 2 and Gears of War 5, a lot of which may be revealed at E3. How did such a thing happen though? Well, Walmart has the answer... or an answer at least.

Anika Malik, director of corporate affairs for Walmart Canada, provided a statement to Vice that claims a technical error was to blame:

"Walmart experienced a technical glitch that allowed certain items to be posted to our website for a short period of time. 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."
