Please proceed with caution when seeking out any information online regarding Marvel's Wolverine in the near future. Details about gameplay for the PS5 exclusive and the storyline have been leaked after developer Insomniac was allegedly hacked by a group called Rhysida. The group reportedly attempted to extort $2 million from Sony and, when their demands were not met, released private information. Prolific modder Lance McDonald documented the leaking of Wolverine footage and details on X (formerly Twitter), with gameplay videos now surfacing on platforms such as Reddit. The leaked data reportedly included a PC build of Wolverine, making it easier for spoilers and gameplay to be shared online.
The Insomniac hack not only included leaked information about Wolverine, but also contained a significant amount of personal data belonging to employees at the Sony-owned studio. This included employment documents, Slack messages, and internal emails. Additionally, unannounced projects from the developer were purportedly leaked by the hackers.
Very little has been officially revealed about Wolverine since the game's initial announcement at a PlayStation Showcase in September 2021. Insomniac has stated that the PS5 game is part of the same universe as Spider-Man and will have a full-sized, mature tone. A report from earlier this year suggested that Wolverine will be R-rated and may be released in fall 2024, possibly being delayed to 2025.
Insomniac recently released Marvel's Spider-Man 2, named one of the top PlayStation-exclusive games of 2023 on Our Website. The developer has hinted at the potential for a Venom spin-off game in the future.
Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I am both excited and concerned about the leaked Marvel's Wolverine spoilers. On the one hand, I am eager to learn more about the game and its potential release date. The leaked gameplay footage and details have given me a glimpse into what I can expect from the game, and I am impressed with what I have seen so far. The game looks to be a faithful adaptation of the Wolverine character, and I am excited to see how Insomniac Games brings the character to life in a video game.
On the other hand, I am concerned about the security breach at Insomniac Games and the potential impact it could have on the game's development. The leak of personal data belonging to employees is a serious issue, and I hope that Insomniac Games is taking steps to address the situation and protect its employees. I also worry that the leaked spoilers could potentially ruin the game for me and other fans. I try to avoid spoilers as much as possible, but it can be difficult to do so when they are circulating widely online. I hope that Insomniac Games is able to contain the leak and prevent any further spoilers from being released.
