After a long silence, a cracker going by voices38 released five titles back to back, each one stripped of its Denuvo protection. The list includes Mortal Kombat 1, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Star Wars Outlaws, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, and Persona 3 Reload. All five appeared within 24 hours, which for this kind of protection isn't routine — it's rare. Cracking a single game usually takes months. -

It's been a productive summer for the cracker going by voices38. In July he finished off Assassin's Creed Shadows, which had held out for almost sixteen months, and now it's Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced's turn. The remake launched on July 9, so its protection lasted a little over a month — a decent run for a major Ubisoft release, but the outcome was the same. Both games were covered by the same combination: the latest version of Denuvo plus the publisher's own proprietary protective layers, which until recently were considered unbreakable by classic cracking methods. -

The cracker voices38 hit two Denuvo-protected games on the same day: Crimson Desert and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. In Crimson Desert, the bypass makes Denuvo think the player has a valid license, but it does not fully remove the protection.
That means the crack still leaves Denuvo running in the background, so this is a bypass rather than a complete removal. In practice, the game can be launched without the protection acting as a full barrier, but the system itself remains in place. -
