In a short trailer, IGN shared a sneak peek at an upcoming Tom Clancy game. While the 25 seconds of combat doesn't give too much away, we'll be getting a full reveal tomorrow, July 19, 11:15am PT.
It's possible that this currently unannounced title is the leaked "Battlecat" title. A leak from last month suggested it will be an instalment in The Divison series, while also being a gameplay mashup of Splinter Cell and Breakpoint. However, this is not guaranteed, as the leak also claimed that the game is in the early stages of development, and thus wasn't ready for the E3 season.

Ubisoft has now officially confirmed that it is a brand new game set in the "Tom Clancy universe", yet it seems that fans were hoping for Splinter Cell. Of course, they could get just that if it is indeed the leak from last month.
Much of the reception to this teaser is overshadowed by the ongoing abuse allegations within Ubisoft. While the claims of sexual harassment were first made last year, the story developed earlier this week when a French labour union launched a class-action lawsuit against the gaming giant. The lawsuit alleges that "nothing has changed" at the company, with current and former staff calling the sexual harassment "institutional". Many in the replies to IGN's tweet are highlighting this.
