Alright, alright – this is getting ridiculous now. We can totally understand why some publishers want to announce their games early, and we can see how screenshots may get into public hands prematurely – but accidentally broadcasting your press conference rehearsal to Twitch? This Bethesda balls-up will go down as one of the greatest E3 moments of all time.
Twitter erupted earlier this evening regarding a conversation between Arkane Studios executives Harvey Smith – the co-director on Dishonored – and Raph Colantonio. The discussion, which was broadcast live on Twitch, sees the duo talking intricately about their press conference introduction. While the words Dishonored 2 are never explicitly uttered – well, would you bet on anything else?
Bethesda did try to pull down mirrors of the conversation from YouTube, but it's now being shared everywhere, leaving the publisher with no choice but to fess up to its mistake. "Twitch test a success," it said on Twitter. "Tune in tomorrow night at 18:45PM PT for more surprises." Why not save us all the hassle and upload your rehearsal to YouTube now?

Oh man, this is utterly heartbreaking for the devs.
But at the same time, this has now shot to the top of my list of most anticipated E3 games.
@k_andersen I love the ending of the video where they realise what's happened. An instant classic E3 moment.
@get2sammyb When things like this get leaked there's always a cynical part of me that is convinced they did it on purpose. But in this case, you can just hear the devastation in guy's voice. Exciting stuff!
The first game just didn't click for me. I liked the environment and the story was decent it just for whatever reason didn't keep me interested.
There are leaks and then there are LEAKS.
