"Sony's Exclusive X-Men Games Deal with Marvel Exposed in Insomniac Cyber Security Attack"
TL;DR
Sony has signed a deal with Marvel to produce exclusive X-Men games until the end of 2035, as revealed in the Insomniac data breach. The agreement prohibits Marvel from releasing or announcing any X-Men games on console, PC, or streaming platforms, or using X-Men characters as a "competitive advantage" in a game. However, X-Men characters can still appear in multi-family Marvel games. The leaked documents also mention upcoming X-Men games, including Marvel's Wolverine in 2026 and the first X-Men game in 2030. This deal gives Sony exclusive rights to develop X-Men games for the next 12 years.
