Wolverine PS5 Developer Frustrated by Fans’ Demand for Updates

Fans eager for news about the much-anticipated Marvel’s Wolverine on PS5 received a definitive response from Insomniac Games. The developer made it clear they would share updates about the game only when they’re fully prepared, regardless of external pressure.

With many players eagerly waiting for more information, Insomniac Games plans to release any news about Wolverine PS5 at their discretion. This decision became evident when a Twitter user, discussing a Spider-Man 2 port for PC, accused the studio of ignoring the PS5 audience who are eager for Wolverine updates. The comment, laced with sarcasm, praised the team seemingly for their lack of communication.

While Insomniac typically doesn’t reply to such tweets, their social media team decided to address this one directly. They made their stance clear by responding, “We’ll share news about the game when we are ready to share it,” placing significant emphasis on their readiness. They continued, “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 wait, the studio assured fans that they are “actively” working on Wolverine, reinforcing their commitment to the project.

The road to Marvel’s Wolverine hasn’t been without hurdles. Towards the end of 2023, Insomniac Games faced a significant setback with a ransomware attack, resulting in a leak of the game’s alpha footage. Though the situation was unfortunate, Insomniac stressed that the leak hadn’t influenced their development timeline or plans for revealing more about the game.

Announced in September 2021, Marvel’s Wolverine has been the focus of fan interest, yet substantial updates have been sparse. With lengthy development periods becoming standard in the gaming industry, it may take some time before players get a good look at the gameplay.
