Without a doubt, it’s been a rough couple of weeks now for Insomniac Games. After releasing their successful sequel to Marvel’s Spider-Man earlier this year, the focus soon shifted towards getting their next game ready. Marvel’s Wolverine was previously teased to the public, but we haven’t seen the game in quite a long time.

As you all know by now, that data was leaked online, and players could see a roadmap of upcoming games and some new details for Marvel’s Wolverine. An early game build was released, and fans got more synopsis, videos, and screenshots. On top of that, personal information was stolen from their current and former employees, including independent contractors. As you can imagine, that made for quite the headache for the folks over at Insomniac Games and Sony.
