PSA: Marvel's Wolverine Spoilers Are Spreading After Insomniac Hack

Gameplay and details about the PS5 exclusive have leaked online.

4 Comments

Be careful when spotting anything online about Marvel's Wolverine for the foreseeable future. Gameplay for the PS5 exclusive--as well as storyline details--have leaked out after developer Insomniac reportedly was hacked by a group called Rhysida. It has been accused of trying to ransom $2 million out of Sony before releasing private information when those demands weren't met.

In a series of messages on X (formerly known as Twitter), prolific modder Lance McDonald chronicled how the Wolverine footage and details could pop up, with gameplay video now appearing on sites like Reddit. A PC build of Wolverine was reportedly included in the leaked data, which could make it easier for spoilers and gameplay to be shared online.

Now Playing: Marvel's Wolverine | PlayStation Showcase 2021

In addition to the Wolverine leaks, the Insomniac hack includes a ton of personal infomation for employees at the Sony-owned studio, such as employment forms, Slack messages, and internal emails. Unannounced projects from the developer have also supposedly been released by the hackers.

There is little officially known about Wolverine since the game was initially revealed at a PlayStation Showcase in September 2021. Insomniac has mentioned the PS5 game is set in the same universe as Spider-Man and will be full-sized and mature in tone. A report from earlier this year believes Wolverine will be R-rated and could launch in fall 2024, though might slip to 2025.

Insomniac is coming fresh off the release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, which GameSpot listed as one of the best PlayStation-exclusive games of 2023. The developer has teased that a Venom spin-off game is a possibility in the future.
