Insomniac Games Leak Confirms Plans For SPIDER-MAN 3, VENOM Spin-Off; Release Windows Also Revealed

Insomniac was recently targeted by the Rhysida ransomware group and, after they didn't get their $2 million, they've shared details on the company's plans for Spider-Man 3, a Venom spin-off, and more!

Insomniac Games recently became the latest company to be targeted by the Rhysida ransomware group. After the company refused to pay them roughly $2 million for the data they stole, Rhysida released a total of 1.67 terabytes of data which contains more than 1.3 million files.

There's a great deal of sensitive information included in the leak, including information about Insomniac employees such as passport scans and HR documents. Financial data about how much money the company earns from its deals with Marvel and Sony has also surfaced.

A Rhysida spokesperson tells Cyber Daily (via GameFragger.com), "Yes, we knew who we were attacking. We knew that developers making games like this would be an easy target. We were able to get the domain administrator within 20–25 minutes of hacking the network."

Unsurprisingly, what the leak reveals about Insomniac's plans has gone viral on social media, including the entirety of its upcoming slate. While we won't be posting or embedding any of the leaked material here, with much of the information now in the public domain, there are details about some of what it contains we can tell you about after they were shared on various websites.  

For Spider-Man fans, the biggest news is confirmation that a Venom game is coming in Q2 2025. It will reportedly be priced at $49.99 with an all-new storyline that picks up after Spider-Man 2 and leads directly into Spider-Man 3

Players will be able to switch between Venom and the two Spider-Men as they deal with Carnage-infected New York City boroughs. Like Spider-Man: Miles Morales, it will be a relatively short experience which takes between 8 - 10 hours to complete and features 12 missions and 3 bosses. 

As for Spider-Man 3, that's targeting a late 2028 launch and it may end up a two-parter with one instalment titled "Spider-Man: The Great Web." It appears those rumours about the web-slingers embarking on a Multiversal adventure were, in fact, true. 

A new Ratchet & Clank game is also being released in late 2029, while it seems Insomniac has ambitions to take its Marvel franchises to the online space as well (perhaps some sort of online co-op allowing gamers to play as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales). 

This leak is unfortunate for Insomniac, of course, but there's a huge amount of excitement among fans for these games and the bigger issue is obviously the sensitive data which could compromise plans for these titles - such as source code - and that employee information. Like the Sony Hack several years ago, however, there's not much Insomniac can do now aside from increasing its security protocols. 

As always, stay tuned for more on Venom and Spider-Man 3 as we have it.

Just saw a leak of Wolverine on YouTube 👀

Some unexpected stuff in there ngl but it basically looks like Spider-Man: Wolverine.

@FireandBlood - same. I see the vision though. Those mechanics with Wolverine as a character should work really well and make playing as Logan fun. Insomniac has cracked a code of sorts and found a system that works for them, but I do hope they push some boundaries as they grow.

That being said, I think there's potential to dig deeper and have combat that mirrors something like a Sekiro or Ghosts of Tsushima regarding the technique and speed of the fighting. Combat felt cinematic in those games.

Also, I think elements they need to exploit is Berserker Rage and how his senses work. That can bring something new.

Wait a second... If it's legal to steal digital information and extort companies then release the information when they don't pay the blackmail money, then why aren't these people legally stealing the governments information and releasing it to the public?

“This leak is unfortunate for Insomniac, of course, but there's a huge amount of excitement among fans for these games”

I know you’re a jobless bum Josh, but people’s sensitive information got leaked because of the team they were working in. People’s passports leaked online. This is not worth the boner that pre alpha Wolverine gameplay gave you. It’d be nice for you to live in the real world for once.

Bosses for a Venom game:
-Carnage
-The Jury
-Phage, Riot, Lasher, and Agony
-Toxin
-Knull

@soberchimera - Knull is too big for a short game like this. I imagine that the big boss will be Carnage. The other ones you mentioned are all possible though.

Haven't played the recent God of War games, so not sure if they're open world. But Wolverine should have 2 open worlds like in Metal Gear Solid V. One can be in the Canadian wilderness where he's fighting Weapon X members and another should be set in Tokyo where he's fighting The Hand, Silver Samurai, Gorgon, Shingen Yashida, etc.

@soberchimera - The current GoW games are semi-open world. Similar to MGSV or Metroid. There is a hub area and you transport to different locations, that you can freely traverse, provided you meet to the conditions in order to travel through them.

I figured Wolverine would takes it's cues from the modern GoW games. The combat seems to and given that Logan isn't as mobile as Spidey, his traversal would be limited.

Will probably get a rainbow coloured version of Venom.

These hackers are lames. Could do real good and hack corrupt politicians or elites but instead decide to ruin the gaming industry.

@GhostDog - Really not sure what sins corporate office workers committed to deserve this. This is a company that makes video games, it’s not lockhead martin or BP oil or anything. Employee info for the latter two companies leaking would be terrible but at least it would have some context; what they did here is full on evil.

Jokes on them. This just adds more hype 😃

The only real surprise is an X-Men game and the lack of Spider-Man 2 DLC. Although R&C is a long wait too. Could just slot that in before Spider-Man 3.

Hopefully, the timeline for 2031-35 will include this:

Marvel's Daredevil in 2031

A Avengers reboot game within the Insomniac-Marvelverse in 2033

MArvel's X-Men 2 to conclude the mutant trilogy in 2035.
