Wolverine PS5 Exclusive Ported to PC Using Leaked Source Code and AI

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A solo developer has created a PC port of the PlayStation 5 exclusive game Wolverine, utilizing source code leaked from a December 2023 ransomware attack on Sony and Insomniac. The resulting PC version is described as a buggy mess, with missing textures and character models, and the developer has resorted to disabling Wolverine's head asset to make it playable. Despite the technical challenges and the game's perceived lack of engaging gameplay, the developer claims to have used AI for script assistance and asset conversion, while denying the use of specific emulation tools.
