Insomniac Games, the Sony-owned game development company that suffered one of the biggest hacks in the history of the gaming industry, is facing a series of problems. Now, a fully playable version of the far-from-finished new game Wolverine has leaked onto the internet and is now available for people to download illegally.
Video footage and information regarding the characters appearing in the film have been circulating for some time now, but due to the leak of illegal copies, countless spoilers have spread online. The game is still scheduled to be released in 2026, and leaks will likely be widely available by then. Some believe that Insomniac may be forced to change some aspects of the story due to this issue.
Of course, this article will not touch on spoilers of the story. No one thinks it’s “newsworthy” and it just ruins people’s experience. We also do not recommend downloading leaked games. Not only for moral reasons, but also because the version, which is likely to take years to complete, is extremely rough and unfinished, and I don’t think it’s the best way to experience the game. And, of course, there are security risks associated with downloading large amounts of unfinished game files that were leaked through hacking.
This case was a huge disaster for Sony and Insomniac. Incidents like this have only happened a few times in the past. An illegal copy of “Halo 2” was leaked a month before its release. Half-Life 2’s development was delayed by a full year due to a code leak. It remains to be seen how this issue will affect Wolverine’s development, but it’s easy to imagine that it and other games will be delayed, both short and long.
I would like to hope that players who are looking forward to Insomniac’s new releases such as “Wolverine” will work together to prevent leak information from spreading further, but in reality this cannot be hoped for, as seen in the past. You can tell by looking at it. This leak has already led to a “console war” between PlayStation and Xbox players. Some players have criticized Wolverine, citing footage from early versions of the movie, or claiming that people are treating Insomniac more leniently than they have treated companies that have suffered leaks in the past. I’m doing it. It’s no surprise that the gamer community lacks solidarity.
As mentioned above, there are multiple reasons why you should not mess with leaked copies. But no matter how hard you try to avoid it, it will be nearly impossible for many people to avoid spoilers surfacing everywhere on the internet with the release still several years away. It’s a big blow to Insomniac, which has faced a number of issues with the latest hack.
