Summary
A playable PC build ofMarvel’s Wolverinehas been leaked online, not too long after the massive data breach that revealed much about the upcoming superhero title. Insomniac, the acclaimed developer behind hit titles likeMarvel’s Spider-ManandRatchet and Clank, was recentlythe victim of a huge ransomware attackthat resulted in a large amount of data being leaked online this week. Included in this data was Insomniac’s slate of projects for the next several years, including Marvel-based games likeMarvel’s Wolverineand a plannedX-Mengame.
The majority of this week’s Insomniac leaks were centered aroundMarvel’s Wolverine, which was announced in the fall of 2021 alongside this year’sSpider-Man 2. Early alpha build footage of Logan in action was shown, in addition to details aboutWolverine’s cast of charactersand the actors playing them. While Insomniac itself has yet to make an official statement regarding these leaks, fans are being advised to practice caution due to the potential spoilers they contain.
To make matters worse, a playable alpha build ofMarvel’s Wolverineis now being circulated online, as reported byGamesRadar. Without getting into the exact details of this new leak, the build in question can be played on PC and contains certain vertical slices the developer is using the test outWolverine’s leaked gameplay mechanicsalongside potential story spoilers. It’s worth pointing out that while this leaked alpha build is PC-based, it isn’t an indication thatMarvel’s Wolverinewill be ported to PC after its PS5-exclusive launch likeMarvel’s Spider-Man: RemasteredandSpider-Man: Miles Moralesbefore it.
Ever since the massive Insomniac data breach earlier this week,other game developers have respondingby voicing their displeasure with the cyberattack. Remedy Entertainment, the studio behind this year’s award-winningAlan Wake 2, decried the hack as “disgraceful and shameful” while expressing sympathy for Insomniac’s staff. Other respected industry figures like Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann andGod of Wargame directorCory Barlog have also lent their support to Insomniac over social media.
Sadly, it appears that the unfortunate saga of Insomniac’s recent ransomware attack is only continuing, with a fully-playable PC build ofMarvel’s Wolverinebeing leaked to the public alongside crucial cast and plot details. Just like the leaked alpha footage before it, this build only representsMarvel’s Wolverinein its current, unfinished state, but players are being advised to avoid it either to dodge spoilers or out of respect for a studio that has created many hit video games over the past few decades.
