Wolverine PS5 Developer Frustrated by Fan Demands for Updates

Insomniac Games has set the record straight with its fanbase, addressing the clamor for updates on Marvel’s Wolverine for the PS5. The developers have been clear: they will only share news about the game when they’re fully prepared, making it clear that they won’t succumb to external pressure.

In a situation that unfolded on Twitter, a user expressed frustration, asking why the studio was “ignoring” the eager PS5 audience waiting for Wolverine news, even throwing in a sarcastic remark about the team’s quality. While it’s not typical for Insomniac Games to engage in such discussions, the social media team chose to respond this time.

Their reply was straightforward: “We’ll share news about the game when we are ready to share it,” emphasizing their agency over the process with a firm “we.” They further elaborated, “That will always be our answer. We can’t act on everything requested when things take time, resources, and the greenlight to share them.”

Despite the frustration from some quarters, there is a silver lining. Insomniac Games reassured fans that work on Wolverine is “actively” progressing.

Late in 2023, Insomniac Games faced an unfortunate ransomware attack resulting in a leak of significant Wolverine alpha footage. The studio was understandably upset by this breach but assured everyone that it hasn’t derailed the development or the planned announcements.

Marvel’s Wolverine first caught the public’s eye back in September 2021. Since then, it’s been radio silence, but this isn’t unusual. Extended development periods have become common in the gaming industry, so we might need to be patient a bit longer before we see substantial gameplay.
