Developer should have just responded with “Yep, we’re making a Wolverine game. Yup, this is what some of it looks like. Yes, things will change since it’s not the final product. Look forward to its release!” and moved on. Control the narrative and don’t give the hackers any money. They indirectly did this by letting the deadline pass at least.

Edit: now the employee info. That’s not cool.

The ransom shitbags plan backfired. This will only give more hype to the game.

It leaves a lot of employee personal data - that's really shitty and damaging.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Footage of Insomniac’s upcoming Wolverine game has started widely circulating on X after hackers published troves of internal data from its developer.

At the time, the group announced an auction price for the data starting at 50 bitcoins, roughly $2 million, and a seven day deadline to pay.

Wolverine is reportedly named as the first in a trilogy of planned X-Men titles, with the second and third games due for release before the end of 2029 and 2033 respectively, according to Cyber Daily.

In October Bleeping Computer reported that Sony Interactive Entertainment had notified around 6,800 current and former employees of a breach that exposed personal information.

Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt, Bandai Namco, and Riot Games have all disclosed attacks in recent years.

The alert noted that Rhysida has been seen to use VPNs to connect to internal company systems from the outside, often using compromised credentials with “organizations lacking MFA enabled by default.”
