Expect Marvel Games From Insomniac 'For Years To Come,' Exec Says

"Will we ever get a new IP from the studio that made Ratchet & Clank? Will we ever get Fallout: New Vegas 2? Will we ever get a true competitor to Steam? You'll be seeking concrete questions to all of these hypotheticals after today's edition of Morning Checkpoint, Kotaku's regular roundup of gaming news and culture. Dragon Ball Z has come to Minecraft. Finally there's an add-on I won't get angry at my kids for buying without my permission."

""We have been working together for more than a decade and developed such a shorthand across multiple Marvel's Spider-Man games that when the time finally came to bring Logan back in spectacular and visceral fashion, it was obvious to everyone on our team that Insomniac was the perfect choice," Marvel Games General Manager Haluk Mentes recently told Game Informer. "It was our shared culture and values that brought us together, and we're so proud to continue collaborating for many years to come.""

"Springfield's takeover of the battle royale led its main mode to spike at over 2.5 million concurrent players, according to stats on Fortnite.gg. "In 48 hours, we welcomed the biggest number of new and returning Fortnite players since last holiday season," Epic Games recently confirmed. It also touted an accompanying "Fortnite | The Simpsons" short popping off on Disney+ streaming. Some players are already calling on the company to extend the latest mini-season past its November 28 expiration date."

Insomniac appears set to continue focusing on Marvel properties, leveraging a decade-long collaboration and serving as the studio for the upcoming Wolverine game, limiting capacity for new original IP. Leaked hack material suggested plans for Wolverine to launch broader X-Men spin-offs, though confirmation remains absent. Fortnite's Simpsons takeover drove over 2.5 million concurrent players and brought new and returning users, with Epic citing a popular accompanying short on Disney+ and player calls to extend the mini-season past its November 28 end. Dragon Ball Z content arrived in Minecraft. Plans for Fallout: New Vegas 2 and a true Steam competitor remain unresolved.
