After months of waiting, Insomniac Games has finally showcased to the world the first look at Marvel’s Wolverine, which is its brand new franchise and a standalone single-player title that follows the same journey and approach as the Spider-Man games.

As fans expected, the trailer featured a complete look at Logan and his furious anger, where he uses his Adamantium Claws to slash enemies and cut off limbs. The gameplay is full of gore, graphical violence, and blood as Insomniac aims to stay true to the spirit of Wolverine. If you’re eagerly waiting to know more about its release window and gameplay, we’ve got all the info for you right here.

Marvel’s Wolverine Release Window

Marvel’s Wolverine is set to launch on PlayStation 5 consoles in Fall 2026. While the exact release date is not yet revealed, Insomniac has teased that the next big news about the game will arrive in Spring 2026 in a special livestream. Given that this year’s fall release is Ghost of Yotei, expect Wolverine to release next year around October, with the usual $69.99 price tag that most modern PlayStation exclusives are priced at.

Everything You Need to Know About Insomniac’s Wolverine Game

As per Insomniac, Marvel’s Wolverine will deliver an original take on the beloved character based on Marvel Comics. The Wolverine, AKA Logan, is played by actor Liam McIntyre, who taps into the rage, pain, and nuances of this iconic character.

In this story, he is on the hunt to uncover the secrets of a dark past that keeps eluding him. Unfortunately, in this world, he’ll have to dig his claws deep to pull any shred of information that may lead to answers. Often, that means shredding into a relentless onslaught of enemies who aim to stop him by any means necessary. Fueled by unflinching resilience (and a rapid healing factor), Wolverine won’t go down easy if it means keeping the mission on task.

The trailer showcased bloody combat sequences where Logan cuts through enemy limbs, digs his claws into an enemy’s skull, chases a foe on his motorbike, or even falls down a building while gripping against it using his claws. The gameplay truly immerses you in what it’s like to be a Wolverine.

Independence is often the way of Wolverine, although keen-eyed fans may have spotted some of the familiar faces he’ll encounter on his journey, like the elusive Mystique or the brutish Omega Red. Some will fight alongside Logan against all odds, and others will unleash all-out attacks on our hero, such as the Reavers, one of our enemy factions, who will keep our hero’s instincts on edge.

In this global thriller, Wolverine’s search for answers will send him on perilous excursions to exotic locales, including the island nation of Madripoor, the frosted wilderness of Canada, and the narrow city streets of Tokyo – all potential battlegrounds for fierce, bloody, destructive action.

Insomniac also says that Marvel’s Wolverine is built from the ground up for PlayStation 5 consoles, and the devs are injecting their Super Hero know-how into this new adventure, as this is an original take on Logan and his iconic adamantium-centric skillset.

The devs 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 tenets of one of the most compelling comic book characters of all time.
