Insomniac Games, the developer of “Marvel’s Spider-Man” and “Ragette & Clark”, recently suffered a shocking hacker attack, and earlier disclosed more than 1.3 million files on the Internet. Unpublished development files for “Marvel’s Spider-Man 3”, “Marvel’s Wolverine” and “Marvel’s X-Men” have been exposed.
Among them, the documents exposed for “Marvel Wolverine” include plot, cast, game stage, concept art, etc. There is also a 2022 game display animation, where battles and characters can already be seen.
If you are waiting for any game, it is recommended to be cautious about possible exposure on the Internet in the near future.
Other exposed documents include Insomniac Games’ development plan for the next 10 years. One of the documents is marked with “Marvel’s Venom” in 2025, “Marvel’s Wolverine” in 2026, “Marvel’s Spider-Man 3” in 2028, “Radget and Clark” in 2029, and 2030 “Marvel X-Men” and the like, or some unknown new IP plans, etc.
By the way, these are only expected plans. Whether or not the decision is finalized depends on actual development.
In addition, there is a cooperation agreement signed by former Sony Interactive Entertainment President (SIE) Jim Ryan and former Marvel Entertainment Chairman Isaac Perlmutter. The effective date of the document is July 2021. The agreement includes Sony’s plan to obtain more IP game development rights from Marvel, including “Wolverine”, three “X-Men” series games, “Venom”, etc.
According to foreign reports, Insomniac Games was shocked to be hacked last week. The hacker group Rhysida immediately disclosed evidence of the intrusion, claiming to have obtained up to 1.7T of files, and required a response within 7 days. The auction files were even made public at a Bitcoin price equivalent to approximately US$2 million (equivalent to approximately NT$62.7 million).
At that time, in order to win the public’s trust, Rhysida initially disclosed some information, including internal development plans, personnel information, operational management documents, and even the personal information of Yuri Lowenthal, who voiced Peter Parker in “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2”, was exposed.
