Why there are no leaks here
Files for unreleased content ship inside the current public build — that is how dataminers know what is coming. Our extraction pipeline sees that content and deliberately withholds it: an entity is only published once it appears on an allowlist a human has approved against an official Capcom announcement. Everything else is stored unpublished and never rendered.
That is a deliberate trade. We will be later than the leak accounts on every Ascendance reveal, and we will still be here when the expansion ships.
