Insomniac’s brief post about the Wolverine game sent some fans into a delay panic just days before Sony’s PlayStation State of Play. The tweet began with “Hey everyone” and ended with “See ya Tuesday. Thanks!”, and for a few moments that was enough to make more than a few players think the game had slipped again.
That reaction landed at exactly the wrong time for a community already watching for signs of what Sony plans to show next. Wolverine is set to take center stage at the upcoming State of Play, with an extended look confirmed ahead of its September 15 release, so every word from Insomniac now carries extra weight.
The spike in concern came from a familiar place. Rockstar’s last two Grand Theft Auto VI delay notes both opened with “Hi everyone,” first to move the game to May 26, 2026 and later to push it again to Thursday, November 19, 2026. After that, the phrase has developed a bad reputation with players, and Insomniac’s own “Hey everyone” was just close enough to set off the same alarm bells.
But this time, the message itself was not a delay notice. Insomniac only pointed fans toward Tuesday, and the wording fit better as a light tease than a warning. The tweet was read by some as a joke playing off the recent Grand Theft Auto VI delay announcements, even as it briefly fooled enough people to become part of the pre-show chatter.
That leaves Wolverine in a cleaner position heading into the State of Play: the game is still on deck, the extended look is still expected, and the real question now is not whether the project has slipped, but how much Insomniac is ready to show when Tuesday arrives. For fans who spent a few uneasy seconds reading a delay into two short lines, the answer should come in the showcase itself.
