A gang of hackers posted more than a terabyte of data from the developer of the Spider-Man 2 game, revealing some of its highest-value assets and future game plans.

The Rhysida ransomware gang, a group of hackers who used secretly installed software to lock down their victim's computers, posted 1.67 terabytes of data on its website on Tuesday after the Sony-owned developer Insomniac Games failed to pay a $2 million ransom. The data drop, estimated to be more than 1.3 million files, included many valuable documents from the Sony developer that detailed its legal agreements, plans for future games, and footage of the upcoming Wolverine game.

Here's what we know about the Insomniac Games hack.

Wolverine

One of the most notable drops from the Rhysida data leak was footage, level designs, and character materials from Wolverine, which is expected to be released in 2024. The game is reportedly the first in a trilogy of X-Men games planned for release before the end of 2029 and 2033. There are also plans to release a third Spider-Man game.

Internal communications

The leak also contained details about internal communications. This includes software licensing agreements with Nvidia and the company's contract with Marvel. For example, it notes that the company has an exclusivity agreement with Insomniac until the end of 2035 concerning X-Men games and a commitment to invest more than $620 million into the deal.

The documents included nondisclosure agreements between Insomniac and Activision, Apple, NBCUniversal, and other game development studios.

There are also personal records referencing current and former employees, photos of an executive's credit card, and contracts detailing massive payments to executives after Insomniac was sold to Sony.

Rhysida's gambit

The ransomware gang contacted Insomniac on Dec. 12 and said it would release the data in a week if the company failed to pay a $2 million ransom. Insomniac did not comply, leading to the release. Rhysida has a long history of hacking, including the Nov. 24 attack on the British Library.

It is unclear if the data leaked are accurate or outdated. Sony confirmed Insomniac was the victim of a cybersecurity attack but said it was under investigation.

The Insomniac hack is the latest to affect the gaming industry. British teenagers broke into Rockstar Games in September 2022 and released alpha footage of Grand Theft Auto VI. The teenagers were eventually arrested and found guilty.
