Back in early September we reported that an un-censored beta version of Manhunt 2 had been leaked on to the net. Rockstar has been pretty quiet about it until now. Today, Rockstar confirmed to GamePolitics that they have found and "sacked" the leaker of this version of Manhunt 2. The interesting part is, the leak didn't come from ANYONE at Rockstar, it came from someone at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe! Here is a statement from Take2 Interactive to GamePolitics.

"Take-Two Interactive has confirmed that a former employee of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has acknowledged his responsibility for the unauthorized online distribution of an unrated play-test version of Manhunt 2 submitted for the European PAL PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system."

It's interesting to hear that the leak came from Sony instead of someone at Rockstar. It seems Sony needs to tighten up their security a little bit. All this does not currently have an effect on the release date and Manhunt 2 is still set for a Halloween 2007 release.
