Wolverine PS5 Developer Frustrated by Fans Requesting Updates

In recent news, Insomniac Games has addressed the ever-growing demands from fans eager for updates on the highly anticipated Marvel’s Wolverine game for PS5. The developers have firmly stated that they’re holding off on sharing any details until they feel it’s the right time, and they won’t be rushed into making announcements due to external pressures.

Fans won’t dictate when Insomniac Games unveils more about the Wolverine PS5 project; the studio is intent on setting its own schedule. The spark for this latest interaction came from a tweet about the Spider-Man 2 PC port. One follower took the chance to criticize Insomniac for supposedly “ignoring” the PS5 audience who are clamoring for Wolverine news. They ended their comment with a touch of sarcasm, calling the team “such a great team.”

It’s not typical for Insomniac to engage in back-and-forth on social media criticisms, but this time, their team decided to make an exception. They responded clearly: “We’ll share news about the game when we are ready to share it,” highlighting “we” to emphasize their autonomy. They further explained, “That will always be our answer. We can’t act on everything requested when things take time, resources, and the greenlight to share them.”

On a reassuring note, Insomniac confirmed they are “actively” working on Wolverine, despite the clamor for updates.

The studio recently faced significant challenges after a major ransomware attack at the end of 2023, which unfortunately led to a leak of Wolverine’s early alpha footage. Though the breach was a blow, Insomniac maintained that the game’s development and future reveal plans remain unchanged by the incident.

Marvel’s Wolverine was first announced back in September 2021, and since then, there’s been a noticeable drought in updates. However, lengthy development cycles are commonplace in the gaming industry today, so it’s likely we’ll have to wait a bit longer before Insomniac is ready to showcase any gameplay.
