Insomniac have at last broken their silence about the massive hack, describing themselves as “saddened and angered about the recent criminal cyberattack on our studio and the emotional toll it’s taken on our dev team”, while promising that the Wolverine game “will no doubt evolve greatly” beyond the materials that have been leaked.
“We are aware that the stolen data includes personal information belonging to our employees, former employees, and independent contractors,” reads a statement posted on social media. “It also includes early development details aboutMarvel’s Wolverinefor PlayStation 5. We continue working quickly to determine what data was impacted.”

“This experience has been extremely distressing for us,” the statement continues. “We want everyone to enjoy the games we develop as intended and as our players deserve.
“However, like Logan… Insomniac is resilient. Marvel’s Wolverine continues as planned. The game is in early production and will no doubt greatly evolve throughout development, as do all our plans. While we appreciate everyone’s enthusiasm, we will share official information about Marvel’s Wolverine when the time is right.”
Publisher and parent company Sony have yet to comment on the Insomniac hack beyond an initial statement that they were “investigating this situation” and had “no reason to believe that any other SIE or Sony divisions have been impacted”. The company have, however,reportedly been sending Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedown requeststo anybody downloading the stolen Wolverine build.
