Insomniac Games Finally Unveils Its ‘Wolverine’ Game

Since 2018, Insomniac Games has built out a solid series of Spider-Man games headlined by Peter Parker and Miles Morales. It was only a few years ago the studio revealed it was aiming to give Wolverine the same treatment, but it’s been quiet on the project since then—and that silence was further exacerbated with 2023’s hack.

But at today’s State of Play event, the studio rolled up with a first true look at the game. Players will take on the role of Logan (played by Liam McIntyre) as he travels the globe (including the Canadian wilderness, Tokyo, and Madripoor), fighting the Reavers and crossing paths with some familiar faces like Omega Red and Mystique. Where the Spider-Man games have emphasized those characters’ agility, Insomniac’s take on Logan is all about his brute strength and animal instincts, not to mention those sharp claws of his. And boy, are things gonna get bloody.

Following the trailer, Insomniac talked up the Wolverine game in a behind-the scenes video you can see below. Creative director Marcus Smith teased the title will deal with the memory problems that’ve defined the character. He’ll be an “unreliable narrator†throughout the adventure and “stay true to [the character’s] experience†while still providing Insomniac’s own distinct spin on the X-hero.

Marvel’s Wolverine hits the PlayStation 5 in fall 2026. Insomniac plans to show more on the action-adventure title in the spring.
