Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Insomniac Games have announced Marvel’s Wolverine for PlayStation 5.
View the announcement trailer below:
Read details on the game below:
Back when we were working on Marvel’s Spider-Man, there would be times where all of us—Insomniac, Sony Interactive Entertainment, and Marvel—would brainstorm together about the future beyond the web-slinger. And even in those early discussions, Wolverine continually came up as the character we’d be really stoked to work on together. Fast-forward a couple years and we’re suddenly standing in front of Sony Interactive Entertainment and Marvel formally pitching a PlayStation 5 game starring the adamantium-clawed Mutant! (Since you just saw the announce teaser, we can confirm that the pitch seemed to go pretty well.)
So many of the Insomniac team are such huge fans of the character, and one of the key elements that drew us to him is surprisingly not that different from Spider-Man: Both heroes feel deeply compelled to defend people who are less able to do so.
Marvel’s Wolverine is a standalone game being directed by Brian Horton (creative director) and Cameron Christian (game director), who recently led the creative efforts on Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, a game we’re extremely proud of at Insomniac. In the vein of our Spider-Man games, our goal here is to not only respect the DNA of what makes the character so popular, but also look for opportunities to make it feel fresh and truly reflect the Insomniac spirit. Even though Marvel’s Wolverine is very early in development, from what I’ve seen of its emotional narrative and cutting-edge gameplay (see what I did there?), the team is already creating something truly special.

This right here was the surprise of the entire show.
-TAKE MY MONEY BUB! NINJA APPROVED-
Insomniac is hottest Playstation studio right now wow!
Honestly even before I saw the claws..... just the setting, made me think of the scenes in movies with wolverine.
When the claws popped out, I was like "oh yeah! its him". Easily one of my fav. Xmen characters. Hopefully game is good.
Same. I was very confident it was Wolverine the moment I saw his back. It showed the closeup of his hands, and I was just like, “come on. Let em out.”
Insomniac is freaking beast right now. I said years ago that Sony buying them would help them grow and flourish substantially, but they’ve actually exceeded my expectations. I thought it would at least take longer to get on this level.
Wonder if they're making the gaming version of the mcu.
Well there's a nice surprise. Hopefully Wolverine finally gets the game he always deserved.
What's with all the deleted comments here?
Imagine if they got Hugh Jackman playing Wolverine!
I was wondering this. He's stopped the role as it takes a toll on his body but his voice is fine. :)
The first X-men related game (other than Deadpool) in nearly a decade. I welcome it. EDIT: Bartkuz is excited. :P
You know by the developer this will be another AAA title to the PS5 collection. Curious how long it will take to come out though.
I am truly hyped fir this one judging how Spiderman turned out and my god on Insomniac firing on all cylinders!!
March 2024.
Why are there so many deleted comments? Spam?
Anyways my excitement will be based entirely on the rating the game gets.
Interested to see how it goes. But a long way away from being ready. Fingers crossed we see it in two years time, though i doubt it.
I knew it was Wolverine right when I saw. When I saw Insomniac was doing it I was blown away.
wolverine is going to be another big seller just like fcken spiderman 2018,
raining hotcakes everyone!
So many good memories of playing Wolverine's Revenge on Gamecube. That game was fucking dope. Can't wait for this.
