Sam Woods Flags Wolverine Game Delay Fears After Hey Everyone Tweet

Insomniac's wolverine game briefly set off delay fears after a post starting with “Hey everyone,” appeared before the PlayStation State of Play. The reaction faded once the message continued with “See ya Tuesday. Thanks!” and the game remained set for September 15.

Rockstar’s delay language

“Hi everyone” has become loaded shorthand in this corner of gaming because Rockstar used it in two Grand Theft Auto VI delay notices. The first said, “Hi everyone, Grand Theft Auto VI is now set to release on May 26, 2026.”

The second followed with, “Hi everyone, Grand Theft Auto VI will now release on Thursday, November 19. 2026.” That history made Insomniac’s opening line easy to misread, even though the studio was not announcing a delay.

September 15 and State of Play

September 15 still anchors the wolverine game rollout, with an extended look set to be one of the showpieces at Sony’s upcoming PlayStation State of Play. For viewers, that means the news cycle around the game is now being driven by what will be shown, not by any change to the release plan.

June 1, 2026, is the date Sam Woods published the report that captured the brief panic. He noted that the tweet started with “Hey everyone,” and that wording was enough to send some fans looking for delay news before the rest of the message arrived.

That quick scare says less about Insomniac’s wording than about the market around this title. When a two-word opening line can trigger a delay read, the audience is treating every post as scheduling news, which raises the stakes for whatever State of Play reveals next.

For now, the practical read is simple: the wolverine game has not been pushed off September 15, and the next attention spike should come from the PlayStation State of Play rather than another social post. Insomniac’s prompt follow-through kept a small typo-sized scare from turning into a real release story.
