Wolverine PS5 Developer Frustrated by Fans’ Persistent Update Requests

Fans eager for news on Marvel’s Wolverine for the PS5 have been met with a firm yet polite response from Insomniac Games. The developers are standing their ground, making it clear that they’ll only release information when they’re fully prepared, regardless of external pressures.

In a recent exchange on social media, a follower’s less-than-kind comments about the studio’s focus on a Spider-Man 2 PC port prompted Insomniac to break its usual silence. The fan accused the studio of neglecting PS5 players who are eagerly awaiting Wolverine updates and ended with a bit of sarcasm, implying their dissatisfaction with the game’s progress.

While Insomniac typically avoids engaging in such discussions, this time their social media team decided to respond directly. They stated, “We’ll share news about the game when we are ready to share it,” emphasizing their autonomy with a pointed “we.” They reminded everyone that development takes time, resources, and the right circumstances to share updates, ensuring that they cannot cater to every request.

However, the studio reassured fans that work on Wolverine is “actively” progressing, despite recent setbacks. Toward the end of 2023, Insomniac faced a major challenge when a ransomware attack led to the unfortunate leak of significant alpha footage from Wolverine. While disappointed about this breach, they assured that it hasn’t disrupted the game’s ongoing development or their announcement plans.

Since Marvel’s Wolverine was first announced in September 2021, fans have been eagerly waiting for more substantial updates. Given the industry’s trend of lengthy development periods, it might still take some time before we get a full glimpse of the gameplay. Insomniac’s commitment to maintaining control over their project is clear, promising a reveal that lives up to expectations when the time is right.
