Earlier this month, Hacker group Rhysida threatened to release stolen data from Insomniac Games. They demanded a 50 BTC (roughly $2 million) ransom. Unfortunately, the 1.67 terabytes of data was released containing videos and images from the upcoming Marvel’s Wolverine, Insomniac’s release slate through 2030, and more including personal information of some of Insomniac’s employees. Recently, a playable PC dev build of the game made its way online as well. It features very select vertical slices of the game as well as new story details. Today, Insomniac Games has released a statement and an update regarding Marvel’s Wolverine.

“Thank you for the outpouring of compassion and unwavering support. It’s deeply appreciated,” Insomniac Games said. “We’re both saddened and angered about the recent criminal cyberattack on our studio and the emotional toll it’s taken on our dev team. We have focused inwardly for the last several days to support each other.

We are aware that the stolen data includes personal information belonging to our employees, former employees, and independent contractors. It also includes early development details about Marvel’s Wolverine for PlayStation 5. We continue working quickly to determine what data was impacted.

This experience has been extremely distressing for us.

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.

On behalf of everyone at Insomniac, thank you for your ongoing support during this challenging time.”
