Wolverine Dev Scares Fans With GTA 6-Inspired Delay Fakeout Before State Of Play

Marvel's Wolverine is going to take center stage at the June 2 State of Play, and developer Insomniac recently scared fans into thinking the game might be delayed with a cheeky post.

Posting on social media, Insomniac spooked fans by releasing a statement in the style of GTA 6 developer Rockstar's posts about the delays for that game. For reference, Rockstar's post about the latest GTA 6 delay began with "Hi everyone." That wording has become something of a meme these days.

So when people saw Insomniac's post that started with "Hey everyone," they thought Insomniac might have been informing fans about a Wolverine delay.

The replies to Insomniac's posts are filled with people saying they thought Wolverine was delayed due to the wording of the message. Insomniac responded to one person with a laughing face emoji.

Wolverine is among the PlayStation games that will be on display during the June 2 State of Play. The game is set to release on September 15 for PS5.

The State of Play will be about an hour long, and people are theorizing about what other games may show up, like Naughty Dog's Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, a new God of War game, or the return of Fairgame$. The event begins at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET on June 2, so be sure to keep checking back with GameSpot for all the news as it's revealed.
