Get ready to be blown away: Eidos Montreal is reportedly cooking up a massive, unannounced ‘AAAA’ title using Unreal Engine 5, and the gaming world is buzzing with anticipation. But here’s where it gets controversial—this project, codenamed P11, has been shrouded in mystery, with rumors of significant setbacks, hundreds of millions in investment, and a development cycle stretching back to 2019. So, is this game a risky gamble or the next big thing? Let’s dive in.
The news broke when a LinkedIn profile from an Eidos Montreal employee hinted at the studio’s involvement in this high-profile project. The discovery was amplified by LinkedIn scouter Timur222 on X (formerly Twitter), who shared the scoop (https://x.com/bogorad222/status/2011272772551614666). This aligns with earlier whispers I’d heard about P11, a new IP that’s reportedly an open-world, third-person action-adventure game—a genre that’s both beloved and fiercely competitive.
And this is the part most people miss: P11’s journey hasn’t been smooth. Back in December 2025, I connected the dots between Eidos Montreal’s layoffs (https://insider-gaming.com/eidos-montreal-lets-go-staff-more-layoffs-planned/) and this project, which has been trimming its team as it moves toward beta testing and eventual launch. With such a hefty investment, the ‘AAAA’ label isn’t just hype—it’s a high-stakes promise.
Here’s a fun twist: I stumbled upon P11 while researching for a book on canceled video games. Its design struck me as eerily similar to WiLD, a survival game by Wild Sheet Studio that was shelved. While I initially thought Eidos Montreal or Embracer might have acquired the IP, it seems P11 is an entirely new project—though the parallels are hard to ignore. Could this be a reimagining, or just a coincidence? What do you think?
As for when we’ll see P11 in action, that’s still up in the air. If all goes well, the game could be unveiled later this year. But with its troubled history, will it live up to the hype? Or will it join the graveyard of ambitious titles that never quite made it?
Here’s the real question: Are you excited for Eidos Montreal’s new IP, or does the ‘AAAA’ tag feel like too much pressure? Let us know in the comments, and join the discussion on the official Insider Gaming Discord server (https://discord.com/invite/vwj7zdWxaW).
