Leaked info and potential spoilers ahead for Marvel’s Wolverine.
Even more information about the upcomingWolverinegame has been unearthed from the recent Insomniac data breach, including a possible trip to the legendary X-Mansion of Marvel Comics lore. Not too long after the successful launch ofMarvel’s Spider-Man 2, developerInsomniac fell victim to a massive ransomware attackthat led to major sales data and personal employee information being leaked to the public. Included in this was a possible line-up of future Insomniac projects, with many of them being connected to the studio’s growing Marvel universe.
The lion’s share of this leaked information was centered aroundMarvel’s Wolverine, a spin-off that was announced alongsideSpider-Man 2back in 2021.Wolverine’s plot, characters, and voice cast were all exposed, in addition to early alpha footage of the game. A fully playableWolverinedemo was leaked not too long afterward, prompting Insomniac to give out an official statement regarding the breach and DMCA notices to be sent to those who downloaded it. In the months after the initial data breach, dataminers are still discovering new elements within the leaked source code, such as footage of Logan’s trademark healing factor in action.
We will not be hosting or linking to the leaked footage in this post.
Earlier this week, a roughWolverinegameplay trailer was unearthed from the hacked Insomniac data files and posted online, showing Logan hunting robotic enemies in a forest using his enhanced senses in a way similar toBatman: Arkham’s Detective Vision. More recently, someone managed to get a playable sequenceset in what appears to beX-Men’s X-Mansionput together from files discovered about a month prior. While this sequence has no textures, it features Wolverine breaking into the mansion and fighting off more robots.
New Wolverine Leak May Connect To Insomniac’s X-Men Game
According to the Insomniac data breach, the developer is alsoworking on an X-Men game, which will allegedly be released in 2030. The sequence in this latest leak could likely serve as a connecting tissue between said game andMarvel’s Wolverine, though previous reports indicate that the latter is set sometime before the formation of the iconic team of mutant heroes. Sure enough, past leaks have suggested that Jean Grey, Logan’s longtime love interest and fellow X-Men member, will not only appear inWolverinebut be playable in some capacity.
Of course, all of theinformation revealed in the Insomniac data breachis subject to change and could be taken out of context, so fans should view it all with a healthy degree of skepticism for the time being. However, it would make sense for the X-Mansion to have some presence inMarvel’s Wolverine, either as the setting for a tutorial mission or to set up the X-Men’s forthcoming spin-off game by showing how the building eventually became the safe haven and training ground for mutants Marvel fans know and love.
