This is a year old, but someone pointed it out.

Was a creative director at San Diego Studio, he got promoted to "Creative Director at PlayStation".

Would be cool if there were some secret studios at PlayStation.

Insomniac got hit by ransomware.

A lot of stuff has started leaking. Contracts for future games, Wolverine trailer, Wolverine cast, so far.

Not going to share anything here. I don't think we're going to prevent anyone else from posting here about it, but please put stuff in spoiler tags. 

This isn't someone on the dev team leaking, which is not great in the first place. It's stuff that's been stolen from Insomniac.

It seems like either:

- Sony has a new team somewhere that Blundell is heading. 

- Blundell is back at Deviation Games, and they're still working together.

The latter seems a little less crazy, but it still feels surprising after Blundell left, and seemingly things weren't good with PlayStation and Deviation Games. 

Either of those outcomes feels like it would be pretty crazy to me. 

Maybe there's a different situation, like he's at XDev or something, but that seems like an unlikely downgrade.

I have no issues with there being a new team and Deviation is still working on something (probably smaller scale) with Sony.

Though I read that XDev is also looking to get back into development after the TloU Remake situation. Nothing wrong with that: Studio Japan was a development house that also did publishing and co-work of games from 3rd party. I think it makes sense for XDev to evolve into something similar.

That Insomniac leak is damn good especially if you are a Marvel fan.

Marvel fans be eating.

Too bad the next Ratchet and Clank is

Spoiler!
2029.

Those Insomniac leaks are brutal.

Its a terrible thing to be dealing with during the holidays. Wishing the best for the developers, I hope they had enough time to have some measures in place to mitigate the damage.

Maybe it an Action-platformer RPG and all will be good. 

Too bad we are probably never seeing a Sunset Overdrive port (even though it may not be that great by today's standards)

Just saw the leaked lineup and holy crap.. that's some release schedule. Insomniac definately carrying PS Studios this whole generation, and (for it looks like) beyond. With one unannouced game really getting me giddly; thats not Wolverine

Spoiler!
- Xmen (2030)



A shame about the leak though. Got to be awful having all the hard work leaked just before Christmas.
