Major information from Insomniac Games has been leaked, including the full synopsis, cast list, early test footage, and concept art for Marvel’s Wolverine alongside the studio’s roadmap for yet-to-be-announced titles. The leak also revealed personal information about some of the cast and crew working at the studio.
Earlier this week, a hacker group, Rhysida held Sony’s first-party studio, Insomniac Games to ransom, threatening to release over a terabyte of internal company data that had been stolen on December 12th. At the time, the group announced an auction price for the data starting at 50 bitcoins - which is the equivalent of roughly $2 million - and a seven-day deadline to pay. As Insomniac and Sony didn’t bow to the hackers’ demands, the footage was released on the morning of December 19, 2023.
Insomniac Games is one of Sony’s top first-party studios, producing acclaimed titles such as the Marvel’s Spider-Man, and Ratchet & Clank series. Therefore, many have been eagerly awaiting news surrounding their next confirmed title Marvel’s Wolverine, which was announced alongside Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 at the September 2021 PlayStation Showcase, but has had no further trailers.
It’s long been confirmed that the title will be darker than the Marvel’s Spider-Man games, which already had some darker moments, especially with the actions taken by their main villains. The game will be targeting a M-for-Mature rating, and the hiring of Spec Ops: The Line writer Walt D. Williams as the game’s lead writer further gave an idea of what to expect from the studio’s more adult take on the fan-favorite mutant.
Therefore, many were keen to see how exactly Insomniac would approach the material, and how it would tie into the studio’s shared Marvel Universe if it’s so different from the titles that came before. This was likely one of the reasons Rhysida targeted the studio specifically and threatened to share this early, and one of the reasons the group likely felt they could hold it to such a high ransom.
