In this case, Rhysida have circulated what they claim are annotated screenshots from the Wolverine game, together with character art, internal emails, signed confidential documents, and passport scans for Insomniac employees. The ransomware group have given Insomniac seven days to respond, and are running an auction on the rest of the data, with a starting price of 50 bitcoins or around $2 million.
Sony have now released a brief statement. “We are aware of reports that Insomniac Games has been the victim of a cyber security attack,” it reads. “We are currently investigating this situation. We have no reason to believe that any other SIE or Sony divisions have been impacted.”

The official images that exist for the new game give little away besides one location, the Princess Bar, a seedy dive in the fictional South East Asian city of Madripoor. I could be wrong, but it looks like there’s an eye-patch on the bar in the image at the top of this article, which could be a reference to the events ofthe Uncanny X-Men comics. Hey, look at me, I did a lore speculation! Do you have any hopes and predictions to share?
