Insomniac, the developer behind Marvel's Spider-Man, has fallen victim to a ransomware attack, with hackers threatening to release stolen data unless paid $2 million. After Sony reportedly refused to meet their demands, the hackers have released over 1.3 million files, including videos and images of upcoming game Marvel's Wolverine, personal staff information, and a contract between Marvel and Sony for future projects. The leaked data also includes a release slate for Insomniac's games up to 2033, estimated development budgets, and a bootable build of Wolverine. Sony has launched an investigation, but no official comments have been made by either Sony or Insomniac.
Insomniac Games, the studio behind Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Marvel's Wolverine, has been hacked by a ransomware group named Rhysidia. The hackers have stolen sensitive information, including details on the upcoming Wolverine game, internal emails, personal documents, and more. Rhysidia has set a seven-day deadline for Sony to pay a ransom of 50 bitcoins ($2 million) before they publish the data online or put it up for auction. Sony is currently investigating the cyber attack and has no reason to believe that other divisions have been impacted.
Insomniac Games, the developer behind Marvel's Spider-Man and the upcoming Wolverine game, has reportedly been targeted by a ransomware attack. The Rhysida group claims to have stolen personal data of current and former employees, including passport scans and emails, as well as unreleased information about the X-Men game. The hackers also claim to have acquired screenshots and character art for Marvel's Wolverine. They have given Insomniac Games seven days to respond or they will publish the data and are auctioning it off with a starting bid of 50 Bitcoin. Rhysida is a relatively new group known for targeting U.K. institutions, and their ransomware primarily affects Microsoft Windows users. Government agencies have warned organizations about the threat of Rhysida ransomware. Sony, the owner of Insomniac Games, has previously been hacked twice this year.
Insomniac Games, the studio behind popular PlayStation titles like Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Marvel's Spider-Man, has grown to over 500 developers split between three current projects, including Marvel's Wolverine and a mysterious multiplayer project. The increased staff may help the studio hit the 2023 release deadline for Wolverine.
Insomniac's lead engine programmer, Elan Ruskin, teased "very cool" new dialogue technology in the studio's next game, which could be Marvel's Spider-Man 2 or Marvel's Wolverine. Fans speculate that the technology could be linked to advanced dialogue trees or more intuitive NPCs. The Spider-Man sequel is set to release in Fall 2023, while little is known about the release date for Wolverine.
