PlayStation-owned Insomniac Games has released a statement regarding the recent hack that it was a victim of.
In a post on Twitter, the company wrote that it was “saddened and angered” by the cyberattack, adding that the experience was “extremely distressing”. Insomniac added that it was not going to let what is a pretty massive setback hold it back.
The hack has included builds of the upcoming Wolverine game, as well as the studio’s plans for future Spider-Man titles. That’s on top of personal information about its staff.
“Thank you for the outpouring of compassion and unwavering support,” Insomniac wrote.
“It’s deeply appreciated.
“We’re both saddened and angered about the recent criminal cyberattack on our studio and the emotional toll it’s taken on our dev team. We have focused inwardly for the last several days to support each other.
“We are aware that the stolen data includes personal information belonging to our employees, former employees, and independent contractors. It also includes early development details about Marvel’s Wolverine for PlayStation 5. We continue working quickly to determine what data was impacted.
“This experience has been extremely distressing for us. We want everyone to enjoy the games we develop as intended and as our players deserve.
“However, like Logan, Insomniac is resilient. Marvel’s Wolverine continues as planned. The game is in early production and will no doubt greatly evolve throughout development, as do all our plans.
“While we appreciate everyone’s enthusiasm, we will share official information about Marvel’s Wolverine when the time is right. On behalf of everyone at Insomniac, thank you for your ongoing support during this challenging time.”
