Ubisoft's uPlay Hacked to Grant Access to Unreleased Titles Including Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon

[Shawn Zipay]

Yesterday, word started to spread that a number of people were playing the unreleased and unannounced title Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. How? Well, it seems as though a group of Russians discovered an exploit in Ubisoft's uPlay distribution platform that would grant them access not only to games that were unreleased but also to any other title available on the platform.

The Russian hackers created a tool that tricks the uPlay program into thinking a user has ownership over games that they don't actually own. As such, they are then able to download the game sand play them offline, thus bypassing the uPlay DRM.

If you happen to see a number of gameplay videos popping up on YouTube today featuring gameplay footage from Blood Dragon, now you know why. TGN does not condone the use of this tool.
