Hello everyone, the recent theft of data from Sony's Insomniac Games studio (Insomnia Group) has caused the industry**.
The hacker group Rhysida stole a total of 167T documents, and put them in an online auction, announcing that if no one buys them for 50 BTC within seven days, these materials will be made public.
Due to the insomnia group's insistence on not being blackmailed, these documents have been made public one after another.
Not only was a large number of undisclosed games and personal information of the Insomnia group **, but more seriously, the playable version of "Marvel's Wolverine" that had not yet been released was also leaked.
Marvel's Wolverine is scheduled to be released in 2025 2026 and is a Sony PS5 exclusive, but according to leaked documents, it will be available by September 2026.
A playable version has appeared on the web and will be available on PC. There are currently about 30 minutes of ** outflow, including character settings, combat tutorials, and a playable level. It seems to indicate that the game will also be ported to PC, but it is likely that the PC version is now available for the sake of ease of development and management observation.
Bizarrely, the game also offers intimate controller support.
Judging by the fact that the game takes an open-world format, it offers part of the setting in Madrid. Wolverine's stature is more stout, not Hugh. Jackman's version, which is more akin to the original comics.
He is able to attack with wolf claws and fists, each with a set of skill trees. L2 and R2 operate the left and right hands separately, making it easy to form a continuous technique, and holding down at the same time can grab the opponent's neck and lift it up for easy access to the execution technique.
During the battle, the clothes of the creeps will be torn by their claws, and they will instantly become bare-chested, don't think too much, it seems that only male miscellaneous soldiers can burst their clothes at present.
Relatively speaking, the boss battle is more abundant, after being attacked by Wolverine, there will be bloody scars on the body, and there will be bloody scenes such as severed limbs, and it is estimated that the rating will be higher than T level (over 13 years old) in Spider-Man 2.
In addition, there are jumping, defending, dodging, long-distance throwing, and interestingly, you can also stick your claws on the wall to climb, and you can explore high and low buildings like in Uncharted, and engage in stealth assassination battles.
There is also a scene in the Madrid bar, where Wolverine and the Chinese proprietress fight against the attacking enemy, and have to show their true identity, use the claw knife to fight the enemy, and encounter a difficult boss battle.
From the overall point of view, the sense of blow of "Marvel Wolverine" is stronger than that of the Spider-Man series, the sense of blow of the fist and claw knife is different, the move execution skills are also rich, and the environment can also be used to kill, which is generally more refreshing, similar to the feeling of the god of war.
In terms of exploration, it is not as comfortable as Spider-Man swinging between high-rise buildings, and needs to climb walls and jump, which is more like the gameplay of "Uncharted".
In terms of environmental damage, there are not many effects yet, by the way, "Dark Phoenix" Jean Gray can also play, she uses the ability to fight with remote control objects, like gas canisters, building debris can be thrown out, ** The black marks on the floor and the cracks on the wall are more obvious, and it should be strengthened in this area in the later stage.
In any case, the leak of "Marvel's Wolverine" has dealt a heavy blow to the insomnia group, and some employees even said that the future of the project is uncertain, and the future is clouded.
From the theft of Capcom in 2020, to the leak of the development version of GTA6 in 2022, to the disclosure of a large number of files of the Insomnia group, hacking attacks have intensified.
And now they are not limited to showing off their technology, but are naked blackmail, with only one purpose: to ask for money!
Fortunately, game companies don't leak undeveloped versions and plans at most, like the security department, so no company has given money to compromise to encourage hackers.
Hopefully, these hackers will use their technology for the right purpose, instead of destroying products and becoming a nightmare for manufacturers. Otherwise, the game that has not yet been released, you steal it out and sell it, so that a large amount of money investment and years of development will be wasted, and the manufacturer will really jump off the building.
More manufacturers expressed their support for the insomnia group and condemned the extortion. The insomnia group also said that they will be strong in the face of it: we will heal ourselves as quickly as Wolverine and continue to develop the game as planned, without being affected by negative factors.
That's all for today, thank you for your **.
Your attention is the greatest encouragement to me!
