Wolverine Gets First Gameplay Reveal, Launching on PS5 Next Year

After years of silence since its announcement back in 2021, the Marvel Wolverine game finally saw the light of day on Wednesday during Sony’s State of Play event. The game, featuring the popular mutant, is slated to come out next year.

Developed by Insomniac Games, Wolverine is a standalone story set in the X-Men universe that the developer says is going to be a bloody mess. Not much of the game was shown during the event, but it is confirmed, as of now, to be coming out in the fall of 2026. 

The trailer features snippets of gameplay with Wolverine slashing at his enemies with his adamantium claws. A few notable characters featured along with the hero include his longtime rivals Omega Red, the shape-shifter Mystique and the mutant-hunting Sentinels. 

In the game, Logan is out to find answers to some of the mysteries of his past. His search takes him to the island nation of Madripoor, the Canadian wilderness and the streets of Tokyo.  

Following the trailer debut, members of Insomniac Games spoke a bit about the upcoming title, emphasizing how the game would have special blood tech to make sure it featured the kind of bloody gameplay needed for a Wolverine adventure. 

Wolverine is set to come out next fall, but as has been the case with so many games of late, that could change. It’s currently a PS5 exclusive, although it might head to PC sometime later.
