Insomniac Games responded to Data Leaks and Impact on Upcoming Project

Insomniac Games Wolverine

Earlier this week, Insomniac Games, the studio behind the critically acclaimed Spider-Man titles and Ratchet & Clank, fell victim to a cyberattack. Hackers infiltrated their systems, stealing sensitive employee data and, most importantly, gameplay files for upcoming titles, including the highly anticipated Marvel’s Wolverine.

So, what exactly went down?

According to initial reports, the incident commenced last month when unidentified individuals targeted Insomniac Games, stealing company documents and holding them hostage. The hackers issued a ransom demand, threatening to leak the stolen data if their demands were not met. However, Insomniac refused to comply, resulting in a widespread torrent of leaked gameplay footage and critical information about the studio’s upcoming titles on the Internet.

Insomniac speaks out

In the aftermath of the incident, Insomniac has issued a formal statement addressing the data breach and the leaked Wolverine footage. The studio expressed heartfelt gratitude to its community for their unwavering support during this challenging time.

The stolen data included the personal information of current and former employees, as well as individual contractors, so the developer told fans to not forward them.

The statement reassured fans that Marvel’s Wolverine remains on course, with the game in its early production stages. Highlighting the evolving nature of game development, the studio remains optimistic about the project’s future.
