With the recent news that Insomniac Games CEO Ted Price would be retiring, the company spoke to Variety about its upcoming game, Wolverine, saying that while the studio would love to talk about the game, fans will have to wait until “it’s time” to reveal details.
“We’ve announced Wolverine, and we’d love to talk more about Wolverine, but we have to be like Logan today, and remain very stoic until it’s time to pop the claws down the road,” said co-studio head at Insomniac Chad Dezern to Variety. “As much as we’re as much as we have pent up excitement, we got to hold on to it. So that’s, that’s about as much as we could say about our upcoming projects today.”
This latest statement tracks with what the studio said the last time it was asked about its upcoming Wolverine game. Back in May 2024, when asked about news about Wolverine on social media platform X, the studio responded by saying, “We’ll share news when the time is right, and the right time isn’t now.”
When it comes to the Wolverine game in general, Insomniac has been incredibly quiet since its original announcement of the game back in 2021. What we do know about the title is that it will take place in the same universe as that of the Marvel’s Spider-Man games (also developed by Insomniac), and that it will be a completely standalone game with its own story.
Despite its lack of any announced details, the studio has still been working on Wolverine, as it had revealed back in June 2024 in response to fans asking for a potential PS4/PS5 release of the studio’s open-world parkour-based shooter Sunset Overdrive.
“We’re busy with Marvel’s Wolverine!” said Insomniac in response.
While the studio itself has been quiet about the game, it was hacked by a ransomware group back in 2023 that managed to get its hands on more than 1.3 million internal files of the studio, which included details ranging from employees’ personal information, as well as details about Wolverine. All in all, the hacked data amounted to around 1.67
