Earlier this morning, Reddit user Tagg9 posted an image claiming it to be a leaked document from Sony's upcoming Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale. This image revealed tons of new characters and levels never before seen by the public. The whole thing was obscured by a highly-obtrusive watermark, and the original post now seems to be conspicuously absent from Reddit, giving the whole thing an air of a scam. But further digging by one NeoGaffer has revealed that this fishy story may be more than just a rumor.

NeoGaf user Miladesn claims to have cracked the game's beta, and released some pretty legit-looking images of the game's levels here and here. New stages revealed in these images include a Sly Cooper level, a colorful LocoRoco level, and even a level in Bioshock Infinite's floating city of Columbia.

The only thing absent from Miladesn's report is the character list that appeared in Tagg9's original image. This roster included new combatants such as Evil Cole, Sackboy, Ratchet, and Raiden from the Metal Gear series. While concrete images of these characters are nowhere to be found in this diligent user's report, the filenames are all there. The following filenames were dug up from the game's cracked beta:

coleevil.ctxr

coleg.ctxr

dante.ctxr

heihachi.ctxr

jak.ctxr

nariko.ctxr

raiden.ctxr

ratchet.ctxr

sackboy.ctxr

sirdaniel.ctxr

spike.ctxr

toro.ctxr

colradec.ctxr

fatprincess.ctxr

kratos.ctxr

nathandrake.ctxr

parappa.ctxr

slycooper.ctxr

sweettooth.ctxr

That roster includes all of the currently revealed characters, as well as plenty of other exciting combatants, giving the whole thing an air of authenticity. Of course, this whole report should still be planted firmly in the "rumor" category until Sony speaks on the matter. We've mailed them asking for comments, and we'll have their official word should anything change.
