Wolverine Dev Scares Fans With GTA 6-Inspired Delay Fakeout Before State Of Play
Marvel's Wolverine is set to take center stage during the June 2 State of Play, and Insomniac Games recently pulled off a clever prank that left fans scrambling. The developer posted a message that mimicked the tone and style of Rockstar Games, the studio behind the popular GTA 6 series, which has been notorious for its delayed release and cryptic updates.
The social media post began with the now-familiar phrase "Hey everyone," a wording that has become synonymous with Rockstar's announcements regarding GTA 6 delays. Fans immediately jumped to the conclusion that Insomniac was hinting at a potential Wolverine delay, echoing the same kind of uncertainty that has surrounded GTA 6 for years.
The reaction was swift and filled with confusion. Many commenters expressed their concern, believing that Wolverine might be facing a similar fate as GTA 6. Insomniac, however, had a different intention in mind. The studio responded to one of the concerned fans with a laughing face emoji, confirming that the message was a playful ruse rather than an actual delay announcement.
What to Expect at State Of Play
Wolverine will be one of the highlights during the June 2 State of Play event. The game is set to release on September 15 for PS5, and fans are eagerly anticipating what the developers have in store. The event will last approximately an hour and promises to be packed with exciting reveals and updates.
Speculation is running high about what other titles might be showcased during the event. Some are theorizing that Naughty Dog's Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet could make an appearance, as could a new entry in the God of War series or the return of Fairgame$. The event is scheduled to begin at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET on June 2, and fans are advised to keep an eye on GameSpot for real-time updates and coverage.
