In an effort to track down the person who posted a sneak peek of an art book for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Nintendo has issued a subpoena naming Discord.
Someone who owned a copy of the art book for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom shared an early look at it on Discord back in February.
As the art book and the game are both not expected to be released until next month, photographs from the book have leaked spoilers for the game’s adversaries, locations, and goods.
Nintendo has reportedly been using Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) files to remove the leaked photographs since the release, according to Torrentfreak.
Nintendo attorneys identified Discord in a DMCA subpoena at a district court in California last week (April 4) in an effort to track down the person who leaked the art book for Tears Of The Kingdom.
If the subpoena is accepted, Discord will be required to reveal the leaker’s identity and provide their name, address, contact information, and email address.
On behalf of Nintendo, Discord helped remove the leaked photographs prior to last week’s filings. In February, the Zelda creator asked Discord to remove the photos, and Discord immediately complied.
In a short while, Nintendo demanded the “prompt review and deletion” of the Discord channel where the leaks were initially posted because it was discovered that photographs had continued to be shared.
Although Discord warned the server, it refrained from eliminating it.
On May 12, Tears Of The Kingdom is scheduled to debut. Nintendo has released a number of new trailers highlighting the Breath Of The Wild sequel in the lead-up to its release.
February saw the debut of a second trailer for the Switch game, and last month developer Eiji Aonuma published a 12-minute demo of Tears Of The Kingdom in motion.
