We’re afraid to report that, following the devastating ransomware attack on Insomniac Games, assets from Marvel’s Wolverine are beginning to appear online. Due to the criminal nature of this situation, we won’t be discussing any of the leaks here on Push Square. However, this is a warning that if you wish to avoid spoilers for the upcoming release, you may want to mute certain keywords on your social media accounts.
Allegedly, over 1.67 terabytes of data were taken from the Sony first-party studio, spanning over 1.3 million files. In addition to game footage and concept art, there’s also the personal information of employees, purportedly including passports, employment forms, and internal chat logs.
When news of the ransomware attack emerged, the Japanese giant issued the following statement: “We are aware of reports that Insomniac Games has been the victim of a cyber security attack. We are currently investigating this situation. We have no reason to believe that any other SIE or Sony divisions have been impacted.”

The whole roadmap for their next decade has leaked as well. Some BIG projects planned there.
Sucks for the studio and everyone who works there, but at least it's one of those leaks that ends up generating a huge hype, just like the GTA 6 one.
Ignoring the leaked roadmap and the footage of Wolverine, which is an obvious shame, the personal data being leaked is the biggest crime here. Just before Christmas too, got to feel for the staff.
Absolutely disgusting. Hopefully a lot this footage gets suppressed as much as possible.
After what i just played with Spider-man and Spider-man 2 this game is going to be of the charts good. I said for years i had little interest in Marvel games. I knew they were made well cause Insomniac is a killer studio. But i don’t tend to be a huge Marvel or DC fan and the little i do like them I’d just watch the movie. But i picked up Spider-Man remastered digital on the Black Friday sale for $25 and i need 3 more trophies for the platinum and bought Spider-Man 2 and playing it now. Outstanding games and i was wrong to brush them off and say they weren’t for me. They are made even better than I thought they were. Wolverine will be pre ordered the moment it hit’s the PSN store. Sorry to see the leaks tho, that is so wrong on so many levels but that’s one of the million downsides to the internet. For all it does good it does 1-2 things bad.
You have to be some special kind of pathetic loser to target a video game developer. Go hack the government or something if yer such a bad@$$.

That's not all that's leaked, their next set of games have leaked also, They include
Venom game scheduled for FY 2025, Spider-Man 3 in FY 2028, a new Ratchet and Clank in FY 2029, and an X-Men game in FY 2030
Sad to see Insonmiac basically turn into a Marvel Studio other than that Ratchet and Clank game which is too far away 🙁.
I love leaks. They do a better job at communicating with us what the game is than official trailers.
Well, it looks like the whole plot of Wolverine has leaked. I guess the game will be delayed a year or two just because of that (if not, it should)
@UltimateOtaku91
Thanks for this. I don’t like leaks of games devs have spent years of care putting together as it really ruins their sense of the release, but a roadmap of future releases? This is exactly what publishers should be providing.Looking forward to the new Ratchet and Clank at least.
@UltimateOtaku91 can you put that in spoiler tags mate. Many of us DON’T want to see the leaks. Thanks
so glad theyre going for realism with the graphics. if this was MS the game wouldve been some cell-shaded trash.
@themightyant Sorry, how do I put the spoiler tag? Never used it before.
Hope Sony&Marvel band together to go HAM after the leakers..
Even though I saw the roadmap and you could say relatively predictable if you use logic, rather seen it as a surprise when ready.
The leaks are one thing (it sucks) and i feel bad for Insomniac and Sony that their roadmap and communication strategies are disrupted, but MOST IMPORTANTLY , i feel bad for all the Imsomniac employees whose data has been compromised. Absolutely terrible. Happened to my organisation this year and it sucks! I hope all affected get the support they need
The slide titled "leapfrog" is very interesting, it's basically an internal document with Sonys thought on ATVI.
Sad to see Ratchet and Clank lost money, I enjoyed that game with my son and got the Platinum. Happy to see another one is still planned as Marvel is not really my thing, and Insomniac seem to be the Marvel studio now.
Sad day for the devs, got to feel for them today.
@UltimateOtaku91 It's coming in 2026 according to said road map. So we'll have to wait quite a while.
Sigh. Why did I read the comments.
Wolverine release scheduled for fall 2026? damn that's not looking good.
@UltimateOtaku91 put [ spoiler ] [ /spoiler ] around the text without the spaces between the words and the bracket like this

Digusting! Will be avoiding it the best I can.
@Mad001 nice gunslinger reference buddy
@Ryall Hi, see my original comment as I'm clearly doing something wrong as its not working for me.
@UltimateOtaku91 You can add a spoiler by adding
[ spoiler]around the text you want to hide[ /spoiler], just remove the space after the first square bracket on each tag.
I couldn't stop myself from seeing it. I will say this. Still hyped for the Wolverine game and will support the studio day one.
@themightyant Ah I see I've done it now I believe, once again sorry for spoiling that for you earlier, was not my intention.
@nessisonett I totally agree with you the game stuff is something you can ignore personal information getting leaked sounds like a nightmare. I'm always baffled that companies don't keep those totally separated.
@Mad001 What are they woke about i really struggle to see it in 40 years old and I see people gets more triggered by the year. I think that we are getting less and less free by the year.
I want to go even further that the right and left wing are starting to become snowflakes. Oh a girl two boys/girls kissing massive outrage. A message or opinion in a game god no i can't handle that.
I really don't see what they are woke with please tell me? How do you people function in the real world? Left or rightwing it's getting sad can you handle a movie nowadays it's so sad that studio's need to say we don't have a opinion.
I sometimes think that people rather have it like in Russia have a opinion you go to jail. You are gay lock him up equal rights throw away the key. Also if you look at the USA they are starting to become a country like the middle east the women are starting to have just as little rights as there.
I'm starting to think that the people where more open minded then. This goes both ways the left and the right slamming each other not being able to handle that people are different or have a different opinion so close minded.
Also you take the WWE as a example? As much as I respect the fighters their feats and fighting are fantastic to see the show around is just a joke and the treatment behind the curtains is not that fantastic either.

HELL YES! X-MEN GAMES COMING!!!!!! What a leak, but it's got me sooooo excited!!!!
@Mad001 I find it kind of funny that you say you don't understand what woke is, but claim it's not for you. Taking the specific example of Chevy Chase; maybe because it's well known how racist he is? Check out what his co-stars from Community had to say about him.
It just so happens that people are much more comfortable for calling out others bs these days, but those who get called out can't accept it and declare it as "woke", as if that's an insult (it's really not)
On topic: not so interested in the leaks other than the roadmap; nothing of interest for me until 2029 I guess!
2026? wow a lot later then i thought
@TrannosaurusBex I'm a big fan of national lampoon's, Fletch lives etc to be successful you have to be an *****, yes no idea about woke totally lost on me Im watching the old stuff and loving it anything from 20s to 00s big laurel and hardy fan , cheech and Chong Harold and Kumar lol what's happening in 2029?
@Mad001 New Ratchet and Clank hopefully🤞 Marvel and DC stuff doesn't interest me.
I don’t like that personal information got stolen and leaked, but I like knowing what’s coming, especially since PlayStation has been so tight lipped for years now.
Insomniac’s schedule is very exciting and the Wolverine footage looked great for its current state. You just have to beware it’s all subject to change.
@Sakai "The slide titled "leapfrog" is very interesting, it's basically an internal document with Sonys thought on ATVI."
You're joking, right? You think Sony created a slide to share with one of it's dev studios on the Activision acquisition, and they used an intro screen from a cancelled Spiderman game as a backdrop with Insomniac written in the bottom right corner?
I pray for the day the internet requires an entrance exam.
Also, f**k these losers. Leaking game information is bad enough, but doxxing people is absolutely disgusting.
@Intr1n5ic not a joke, it's real, part of the hack. As reported on by Eurogamer and many other outlets
@TrannosaurusBex yea it's been pretty much destroyed. Check out nerdrotic , Endymion , call me chato and wdw pro those dudes have their heads screwed on we need more like em👍
@UltimateOtaku91 weird how this is such a secret in videogames, when you see movie studios being far more open about roadmaps
@Sakai I'm well aware it's being being reported by Eurogamer, IGN ect. I'm equally aware that the "leapfrog" slide is text written over the intro background of a cancelled Spiderman game called The Great Web.
I'm genuinely curious what your response to this question is. Why would Sony send a slide to Insomniac, a game developer, talking about concerns over the ABK acquisition, and write it on the intro background of one of Insomniacs cancelled games?
@Intr1n5ic I think you are probably better off asking Insomniac those questions or someone internal at Sony, not a casual observer on the Internet. Why is there Bluepoint concept art in there? I have no idea. How am I supposed to know? But it sure is interesting to read
@Sakai Bluepoint is a fellow Sony studio. Studios sharing artwork, concepts, and development tools between each other makes perfect sense. What doesn't make sense is outlining concerns about ABK on a Spiderman background 😂
@Intr1n5ic well it came from Insomniac so there must be a reason, but unfortunately we will more than likely never know
Man. Everything about this is so disappointing. The leak itself, the roadmap, the gameplay. Everything
@Sakai Or, it came from some Xbox moron who took footage from the intro screen of a cancelled game and overlaid text in photoshop.
@Intr1n5ic Paul Tassi says its real, just like most outlets. Your theory sounds very far fetched to me.
@Sakai My theory sounds far-fetched, but a supposed Sony internal email on the industry being shared on the background of a cancelled Spiderman game sounds plausible? 😂
The only way this is legitimate is if it was written by someone from Insomniac, for the team working on the cancelled Spiderman mmo at Insomniac. It makes absolutely no sense for any higher up at Sony to write this using that template, nor does it make sense for them to share concerns about CoD of all things, with Insomniac.
@Ryall
thats kinda cool does it work everywhere
@CieloAzure You could've, you just chosen not to.
So Insomniac is now basically a Marvel 2nd party studio?
@MikeOrator It works across all the hookshot media sites. So Pure Xbox and Nintendo Life as well. I haven’t tried anywhere else so I can’t comment beyond that.
Guess they didn't pay the ransom.
Pretty stoked for an X-men game.
Love the leaks, except for the venom game. It's unnecessary. Could be DLC for one of the Spiderman games.
This is what people like to do now I miss the good old days when people weren’t able to hack into game code etc. it just spoils the game especially when they post it around everywhere.
Hoping Wolverine will be the next game out since it was announced back in 2021 same as Spider man 2
@Nem
Kinda hoped there would be a X men game after Wolverine
