I follow a lot of leaks, but I still remember my first leak. It also turned out to be one of the unlikeliest leaks ever.
A guy on a plane who saw a logo on a laptop.
I just posted this in r/gaming but was told of this subreddit. Anyway, I was on a flight where the lady in the row in front of me was working on a powerpoint presentation on marketing strategies of several gaming titles. And one that stood out the most was AC4: Black Flags, aimed for release 2013 Holiday season according to her slide. It already had a cool looking logo for it.

Kotako confirmed it 3 weeks later: https://kotaku.com/assassins-creed-iv-is-all-about-pirates-according-to-t-5987035
Of course, lots of doubts in the comments, but he turned out to be right.
A lesson that even the most barebones of leaks can turn out to be true.
edit: a guy who worked in a café also leaked it a few weeks earlier.
Whilst sitting in a San Francisco Cafe, I happened to overhear two advertising designers discussing a new piece of ACIII DLC, titled Black Flag, that will focus more deeply on naval combat. According to them, the tagline stands as "Survival is the Only Thing Worth Dying For," and the commercial being pitched involves an Admiral of the British Royal Navy attempting to arrest Connor Kenway on the high seas, whilst a Johnny Cash song sets the tone. The DLC is apparently nearly six months out and still in early development, but seems to be a definite project that Ubisoft is working on.
