Insomniac Games did have a fantastic year with the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 this year, however, they are having a bad ending in 2023. Recently, the developer has become the victim of a cyber security attack. A ransomware group named Rhysida reportedly hacked the developer and posted the details which they obtained as proof.
According to Cyber Daily, Rhysida has given Insomniac seven days before publishing all it obtained, but the organization has also put the data up for auction, with a starting price of 50 bitcoins (just over $2 million). The collected data included details about Wolverine Game, which is speculated to be released in 2024, as well as internal emails, files, and personal documents of Insomniac employees. One document reportedly belongs to Peter Parker voice actor Yuri Lowenthal.
In total, the data comes in at nearly 1.7 terabytes in size. A new leak revealed more details about Wolverine, especially gameplay footage. The leak also revealed the roadmap of Insomniac Games in the coming years.

Insomniac Games’ Future Project Timeline and Wolverine Gameplay Leaked
A new leak consists of an image depicting the release timeline of future Insomniac titles from FY 2025 to FY2030. As seen in the image, the release date of upcoming projects are as follows:
- Marvel’s Venom in Fall 2025
- Marvel’s Wolverine in Fall 2026
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 in Fall 2028
- New Ratchet & Clank in Fall 2029
- Marvel’s X-Men in Fall 2030
- New IP in 2031/2032
As with all of the dates given, things can and will change in the coming years.
Insomniac Games has not released any details regarding the Wolverine project except a teaser. The released leak depicts battle as well as Wolverine climbing up and over walls and knocking up villains with his distinctive adamantium claws.
The leak also indicated that stealth will play an important role in the game, with the character learning how to remain in bushes and pursue his victim in typical Wolverine fashion.
Similarly, the character will be able to use his enhanced scenes to aid with battle and tracking, as well as heightened hearing, smell, and other senses. Of course, some of the information revealed could be from an early build or based on an old or outdated version of the game. Take that into account before proceeding.
We’re not sure what all of this means for Insomniac Games, as it might potentially delay the game. Sony told EuroGamer that they are currently investigating this hack and also mentioned that they had no reason to believe that any other SIE or Sony divisions have been impacted.
