Spider-Verse Game From Insomniac May Be in Development

Details of Insomniac’s future games have been released onlin amidst a major data breach at the company, revealing further games based around Marvel characters, timing of the next Ratchet & Clank game, and when the studio will next look to build out a new IP.

Sunset Overdrive may not have enjoyed the sort of universal, mainstream critical and commercial success that developer Insomniac Games would go on to enjoy with its Spider-Man games, but in spite of its relatively lower-profile nature, it had its own dedicated fanbase- one that has been holding out hope for a sequel for nearly a decade at this point. And as it turns out, a sequel was indeed in development at Insomniac once.

The recent Insomniac ransomware leak has been an eye-wateringly large scale one, revealing details on a number of upcoming titles planned for the next decade or so – from Spider-Man games and an X-Men series to a new Ratchet and Clank instalment and a new IP – as well as undisclosed sales figures for previously-released titles like Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Alongside that, much more recent sales figures for Insomniac’s latest release have also emerged.

Insomniac Games is not having a good time right now. The developer was hit recently by a ransomware group that stole a vast collection of documents. It was put up online for a week to get Sony to pay the group off. Unfortunately, it looks like the ransomware group went ahead and released the documents online, so details on upcoming titles like Wolverine have been posted, along with a roadmap of what’s to come, have emerged online. One of the leaked documents that have surfaced online is based on the development costs for their projects like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

Insomniac Games has enjoyed commercial success on a level it had never seen before with its Marvel’s Spider-Man games, but not all of its titles in the last decade or so have seen eye-watering sales. In fact, specifically where Sunset Overdrive is concerned, the money the studio has made off it is quite negligible, to say the least.

Details of Insomniac’s future games have been released onlin amidst a major data breach at the company, revealing further games based around Marvel characters, timing of the next Ratchet & Clank game, and when the studio will next look to build out a new IP.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty has been turned into a stop-motion animated short film, kind of. 

Insomniac Games has suffered a large-scale leak following a recent ransomware attack, and alongside plans for multiple major upcoming titles planned for the next several years, the leak also includes details on the development budgets and sales figures for a number of titles, both released and upcoming.

Insomniac Games was recently hacked by a ransomware group known as Rhysida, which claimed to have access to large amounts of internal, confidential data, including personal information of several employees. Following Insomniac’s refusal to pay for the return of the data, the hacker group has now released the vast majority of it online, as reported by Cyber Daily. In a statement provided to the outlet, the hacker group has said it viewed Insomniac as “an easy target”.

Insomniac Games seems to be going all-in with Marvel licensed games, as many of the studio's next titles will be based on popular comic book properties.

Insomniac Games has been hit with a massive leak that reveals all of the games it has in development all the way through to 2032, including Wolverine, a Venom spin-off, a new Ratchet & Clank, and an X-Men game.

Intense but unconfirmed speculation suggests Insomniac may be working on a Spider-Verse game, influenced by Sony’s recent batch of animated movies. Unverified information being shared online, purportedly part of a recent high-profile data breach, alleges that the title is in development – although we’ve been unable to corroborate anything, and the information is extremely loose.
