FULL STORY ======================================================================

Sony has officially responded to reports that Marvels Spider-Man developer Insomniac Games has been impacted by a cyber attack, and says that its currently investigating.

In a statement shared with Eurogamer , Sony explained: We are aware of
reports that Insomniac Games has been the victim of a cyber security attack. We are currently investigating this situation. We have no reason to believe that any other SIE [Sony Interactive Entertainment] or Sony divisions have been impacted.

The first report to mention the alleged attack came from Cyber Daily
yesterday (December 12), which claimed that the attack was carried out by ransomware group Rhysida.

Insomniac Games is the studio behind many of PlayStations most iconic franchises, from Ratchet & Clank to Spyro the Dragon (the first three games
in the series, at least). Most recently, of course, it developed Marvels Spider-Man 2 , which was nominated for Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2023 . The sequel to 2018s web-slinging adventure was met with high critical acclaim, including a four out of five-star review from TRGs editor-in-chief, Jake Tucker.

He wrote: Marvels Spider-Man 2 delivers a satisfying Spidey-saga that gives fans everything they could want from a Venom arc and also includes several surprises. It's a single-player open-world game that prioritizes fun above
all else, with a host of accessibility features to let everyone join in.

Right now, Insomniac is also working on Marvels Wolverine - a new game in development for PlayStation 5 in collaboration with Marvel Games. Very little is known about it at this point, with one single video teaser currently available to watch and no other information revealed about its plot, setting, or characters. Its not currently known when Marvels Wolverine will be released.
