Insomniac Games has finally spoken out after a devastating leak that exposed early development details on their highly anticipated Marvel’s Wolverine game. On November 16th, a hacker group called Laplace’s Demon claimed responsibility for a 1.67TB data breach of Insomniac’s internal systems. The leak contained sensitive employee information, contracts revealing 3 upcoming X-Men games, and an early build of Wolverine.
In a tweet, Insomniac acknowledged the “jarring and invasive attack” but vowed to push forward like Logan himself. They confirmed the leaked Wolverine footage represents work-in-progress from early in development. As such, fans should avoid judging the game based on this extremely rough alpha build.According to the hackers, Insomniac was specifically targeted due to its
reputation for passion and vulnerability from efforts against crunch culture. The breach exposed employee passports, compensation details, and other personal data.
