Over the last couple of years, developer Insomniac Games has earned critical acclaim for its work on Marvel's Spider-Man and its spin-off, Miles Morales. With a sequel featuring both Spider-Men on the way, the studio's next project is one that has Marvel fans excited as a legendary mutant is stepping back into the spotlight.

The last time that Wolverine had a solo game was all the way back in 2009 with X-Men Origins: Wolverine. A tie-in game to the film of the same name, Raven Software's single-player adventure was a gruesome and action-packed spectacle of blood, guts, and adamantium claws. More than a decade later, Insomniac's take on the X-Man is looking like a spiritual successor, and while the game is still deep in development, a few details about Marvel's Wolverine have surfaced since it was first revealed.

Release date

The biggest mystery--aside from Wolverine's ability to somehow heal both flesh and clothing in his 2009 game--is when this game will be out. Insomniac's busy right now with work on Marvel's Spider-Man 2, which has a release date of October 20 on PS5. After the game was first revealed in 2021, Ryan Schneider, head of franchise strategy at Insomniac, said that the game was "very early in development," suggesting a long wait lie ahead for fans of the surly mutant.
