The highly-anticipated horror sequel Resident Evil 5 has been leaked to torrent sites and P2P, a full ten days before its official release date.
The game will hit store shelves on March 13th, however a cracked Xbox 360 version of the game is being heavily downloaded as we speak, with users even noting that you can already play online. The ISO image is 6.71 GB.
Capcom, like all other major publishers, has complained of piracy woes in the past, even citing piracy as the main reason Devil May Cry 4 had stagnant sales. The publisher said the PC version of the game had been "pirated to hell" and that Capcom Japan refused to release it digitally as a result.
Regardless, RE5 should still be a major blockbuster for the publisher, with demo downloads topping 4 million last week.
