Marvel’s Wolverine to launch in Fall 2026 on PS5

Insomniac Games has revealed the launch window for Marvel’s Wolverine, set for release in Fall 2026 on PlayStation 5.

During PlayStation’s State of Play broadcast yesterday, the developer also showcased the Wolverine’s “much darker and more brutal” gameplay trailer.

“We’re breaking new ground with Wolverine, yes, but our penchant for telling stories about heroes overcoming colossal odds is as strong as ever,” Insomniac wrote in a blog post.

“We aim to deliver the ultimate Wolverine fantasy built on Insomniac staples like fast, fluid, and ferocious combat; exhilarating, action-packed set pieces; robust accessibility features; and a gripping story that taps into the core tenants of one of the most compelling comic book characters of all-time.”

Insomniac’s Wolverine was first announced in 2021. Two years later, the studio was victims of a ransomware hack with Wolverine being one of the many titles leaked.

Last October, Sony confirmed that Wolverine’s creative director Brian Horton had been replaced by Marcus Smith. He was previously creative director on Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Miles Morales, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.

Horton moved from PlayStation to Xbox to become the creative director for The Initiative’s Perfect Dark. However, the reboot was cancelled earlier this year following mass layoffs at Xbox, resulting in the closure of The Initiative.

Wolverine’s game director Cameron Christian was also replaced by Mike Daly, with Christian remaining at the studio “in a different role.”
