An update regarding Insomniac and Marvel's Wolverine

On Twitter, Insomniac Games posted an update regarding the studio and Marvel's Wolverine.

I really feel for Insomniac Games. Hope these hackers get the punishment they deserve. All this aside, I can’t wait for Wolverine!

What sucks even more is it couldn't have happened to a more respected company. Not saying it should have been done to EA or whatever but insomniac is one of the most reputable dev teams out there so it makes this attack even more disgusting

[victorMaje]

So true. That’s what makes it hurt more. Of all the shitty companies out there it had to be Insomniac, smh…

[-Foxtrot]

Such a shame what’s happened

As they’ve said the game will evolve during development but I wouldn’t be surprised if in the future new ideas mean a chance of delaying it. Honestly I wouldn’t mind at all if it did, it’s understandable at this point, especially with how much is leaked

I’ve been trying to do a blackout over actual raw footage spoilers but Twitters shitty recommendation tab decided to just fill my timeline with it, already spoilt a couple things.

Hacking isn't even "cool" like they show. It has consequences. I hope they get prison when caught.

[blackblades]

I agree but if they hacked for justice then it would be cool. Like bad politicans and certain dictators that we know or corrupted cops.

[Demetrius]

Imagine getting 7 years or more for hacking someone else's work n leaking it to the net lmao🤦🏽 one of the dumbest crimes ever mane, they ought to know how fans get they're ruthless on the net and will want you locked up for that bs 🤣 folks really don't care about their freedom nowadays being locked up 24/7 with dudes sheesh

[where-eagles-dare]

This was organised criminal theft and an attempt to use blackmail & extortion to steal millions in cash. The despicable part is that the criminals even posted intimate knowledge of employees past and present details.

These are dangerous and ruthless, lowlife scumbags who deserve to feel the full weight of the law.

[Stanjara]

Yes continue... make it complete. The best response and action to take at the moment.

[Lightning77]

2026 is when the game release's. Hate the fact it'll be a little while longer. That's how development goes though.

[gold_drake]

i cant wait for wolverine

i cant image how damaging this has been for them.

[etown61281]

They should hack something worth hacking, not a knock on insomniac, i think they’re amazing. There’s just so much stuff going on in the world and they chose to hack a video game developer. That’s pretty low.

[badz149]

Wishing them the best. It's definitely not the Christmas "gift" they wanted.

They are still one of the best and most consistent devs out there. All the best to them and Wolverine that they are working on. Can't wait.

[Knightofelemia]

Somebody has to ruin it for everybody

[DarXyde]

I'd really like to know what kind of statement this sort of action was supposed to make.

Insomniac really didn't deserve this. They did everything in their power to keep the good times rolling and they've been stellar in this regard as the MVP studio for SIE this generation.

Regardless, what's done is done. Now, they move forward. The only people enthusiastic about this are those who love bad news for PlayStation which is a shame because they're just an excellent studio. I hate Microsoft and consider them passionless c**ts, but Playground has my respect as a talented, passionate studio. I hope people can look beyond who owns the studio and understand this is ridiculous.

I don't know if Sony could have done more to protect them—if so, I wish they did and they should be ashamed if they let this happen when they had a way to prevent it besides paying their dumbass ransom.

Anyway.... Neither here nor there. I'm going to continue to support their content. It is extremely unfortunate what happened. Really it is. I haven't seen anything beyond one video and I intend to keep it that way. Liked what I saw and I'm gonna buy it. Simple as that.

[darksky]

Insomniac needs to rework Wolverine quite a bit. From what I've seen from the leaked videos, It's a generic Spiderman, Batman rip-off. Make it something noteworthy and different, not the same old garbage.

You’re an idiot. It’s obvious you never read a Wolverine comic in your life. LMAO You’re only used to High Jackman’s Wolverine. If you read the comics, you would know that stealth and detective work is a big part of Wolverine’s character. Using sent is a big part of it too. Also what part of the combat and gameplay does it remind you of SM or Batman? If you read his comics, you would also know that he also used traversal and he climbs buildings with his claws. The game is close to GOW combat. But in now way is it a SM or Batman “ripoff”. Also you’re judging pre alpha footage. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

[darksky]

No need to be abusive you clown. Reported.

[__SteakDeck__]

@darksky You’re going to report me instead of countering what I said and having a debate? Lol I wrote that because you made a stupid point. You’re judging a game that is still in pre alpha. Also you made a dumb comment about how this is a SM and Batman “ripoff”, when it looks nothing like that. Wolverine does investigations and stealth in the comics, that’s not ripping Batman, that’s getting the character right. If anybody is a clown, it’s you for being a little girl and reporting me.

They should've had better opsec
