A ransomware gang that just emerged this month dubbed Egregor claims to have hacked the source code to the upcoming gaming release, Watch Dogs: Legion.

In separate gaming news, a popular fantasy title called Albion - a massive multiplayer online role-playing game - has been hacked.

"In case Ubisoft will not contact us we will begin posting the source code of upcoming Watch Dogs and their engine," the hackers told ZDNet.

Albion is a fantasy-themed sandbox game in which players can go to battle, farm, forge alliances, defend territory, take on dragons and other monsters, and even invest in real estate.

On an underground forum, someone is offering what they claim to be databases for payments, the main game and the forum; and source code for the Albion website and the forum.
