Can you provide a bit of context? Where does this document come from, who leaked it?
*As of July 2023
Insomniac is just all Marvel all the time now, with a little dash of other stuff here and there, eh?

Considering the other part of the leak showing Ratchet losing them money, this isn't surprising.Insomniac is just all Marvel all the time now, with a little dash of other stuff here and there, eh?
Just like all of Playstation's major developers - Marvel games, TLOU, Horizon and God of War. That's it.

Probably helps that their games aren't as long as other Sony games. And they can work with a lot of reused environment assets, particularly with Spider-man.A little disappointing that they’re being railroaded into just being the Marvel team but their games have been good so I can’t complain. Honestly, their projected output is just insane. What are they doing to get games out that fast? Hardly anyone else is managing that
Rift Apart lost money, so makes sense they'd prioritize MarvelReally thought a new Ratchet and Clank would be sooner. Oof.
Wolverine not until 2026 is wild.
There is that but, even considering all that, it’s still all rather impressiveProbably helps that their games aren't as long as other Sony games. And they can work with a lot of reused environment assets, particularly with Spider-man.
When you see what Insomniac games sells, you'll see why Sony is pushing this so hard. Rift Apart lost money according to internal leaks. All their Spider-Man games have made serious cash. Marvel games make a lot more sense with Sony's fans than Ratchet or their other IPs.not a fan of the whole superhero factory idea
In an attempt to wrap my head around everything seen across many different presentations and slides (I feel like i'm going to pass out comprehending all of this...):
- Spider-Man 2 Online / Wolverine Online / X-Men Online (multiplayer concept; targeting 2024 / 2026 / 2028 respectively; seemingly rejected)
- Spider-Man: The Great Web (another multiplayer concept; seemingly rejected)
- Spider-Man 2: Director’s Cut (considered for late 2024 as an alternative to Venom; seemingly going with the latter now)
- Spider-Man: Venom (2025 or 2027; conflicting information on which is the more up-to-date release target)
- Wolverine (Fall 2026; previously targeted 2025)
- Wolverine Spin-Off (featured on a single slide, unclear if this is anything that exists)
- Daredevil (considered for 2027 in one document; presumably never greenlit)
- Spider-Man 3 (2028; previously targeted 2027; the end of Insomniac’s Spider-Man series)
- Ratchet & Clank (2029)
- X-Men 2 (2030; previously targeted 2029; sequel to Wolverine)
- New IP (2031-2032)
- X-Men 3 (2033 and beyond)
- New IP 2 (2035 and beyond; unclear if a second New IP or a sequel to the first New IP))
Really not digging the Wolverine concept art, but Venom could be good. I'm guessing PS5 Pro releases around 2029?
I'm no marvel/super hero fan, but there's 2 revealed new IPs there with unannounced ones laterPlaystation is so creatively bankrupt, just sequel after sequel.
If they make Spider-Man 3 a two parter... Just wow. I watched the new spider verse a few months back and I was supremely disappointed at the end because of how they're handling there being a part 2. It felt like exposition for a product which wouldn't be out for another few years. I can't imagine buying a game like that and feeling satisfied.Apparently Spider-Man 3 is planned to be a two parter. I'm not buying it though.

Heck we're seeing part 2 of a FF7 remake trilogy come out in a couple of months lolWhile I agree, games ending on big cliffhangers/unfinished stories like Halo 2 and God of War 2 where not uncommon back in the day. "finished stories" isn't always a guarantee.
Apparently, according to the leaks, Rift Apart did not make money.A new Ratchet and Clank not until 2029. wtf!
Yep. And they stole far more than dev resources. They have personal data of Insomniac employees including passport information.oh jeez it was a ransomware huh?
don't see the point of doing that. just gonna be a waste of money and time to reboot everything. might as well just go ahead and release it and pretend that the leak didn't happen. sure everyone will know what happens in the story but it's a superhero game not shakespeare.oh yeah wolverine might just go through an entire development reboot since the leaks apparently includes source codes, a playable build and the entire story
Devs gotta eat too.I don't get how this could be creatively fulfilling. Then again what do I know.
