The latest “criminal cyberattack” has “saddened and angered” PlayStation studio Insomniac.
A hacking group disclosed sensitive stolen information including employee data, company communications, and early plans of a future Wolverine game.
The studio praised fans for their “overwhelming” support in a statement.
Insomniac stated that it waited several days to issue a statement in order for its team to “support each other” following the “emotional toll” of the breach.
It stated that while it was assessing the degree of the damage, the upcoming PS5 exclusive Wolverine “continues as planned.”
“The game is in production and will no doubt evolve throughout development, as do all our plans,” according to the statement.
“We will share official information about Marvel’s Wolverine when the time is right.”
