The latest leak about Insomniac Games’ PS5 exclusive Marvel’s Wolverine reveals more confidential information, including the development of a hugely ambitious PlayStation 5 game.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was released on PS5 on October 23, 2023 and broke all records. In just 24 hours, Insomniac Games sold more than 2.5 million copies. A resounding success despite October’s backlog of video game releases, it shows Spider-Man’s enduring appeal. A full Venom game or spin-off could see the light of day if the public hears it enough, but in the meantime, the studio is continuing development on Marvel’s Wolverine.
A new PS5 exclusive has leaked ahead of schedule
This week Insomniac Games fell victim to a leak. Several sensitive information about developers or employees – such as Yuri Lowenthal, who plays Peter Parker in Marvel’s Spider-Man – was stolen and is the subject of a ransom demand. Despite this blackmail, the person responsible for this hack has already posted images of Marvel’s Wolverine online and leaked more information about the studio’s next PS5 projects.
If new documents are to be believed, Insomniac Games would be working on three PS5 games: RCE, Marvel’s Spider-Man 3… and a Spider-Verse project. The latter is also mentioned twice under this name. Is that really possible? It would be a nice surprise, but not really surprising. In Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 there is Miles Morales’ Spider-Verse outfit, with which you can recreate the very special animation of the animated films. It’s so well done that a talented filmmaker reproduced a scene from Spider-Verse in MS2.
And that’s not the only clue, as Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has an even more direct connection to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse that we’ll let you see. On the Reddit forums where the leak was shared, one user believes it could be Insomniac’s unannounced PS5 multiplayer game.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 and Spider-Verse games in development?
“It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Insomniac’s multiplayer title was a Spider-Verse game that would allow us to create our own Spider-Man. With full costume and power customization » (above Reddit). Considering how many different Spideys there are, a hero editor wouldn’t even be necessary. On paper, a PS5 Spider-Verse game is more than tempting given the visual style of the animated films. However, the presence of this name in the document may also refer to something completely different, such as DLC or something else. In any case, it seems like a bad start for the theory of a soft multinational. According to various job postings, Insomniac’s multiplayer game will instead be a new franchise, although nothing has been confirmed at this point.
And what about the other supposedly leaked projects? Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 really wouldn’t be a surprise given the success of the formula. Especially since there are important hints and allusions to a sequel at the end of the second part and during a side mission. RCE, on the other hand, is fascinating. What is behind this abbreviation? Is this related to Ratchet and Clank? Wait, look…
