Marvel’s Wolverine for PS5 is officially scheduled to launch on September 15, 2026.
The extended gameplay shown during PlayStation’s State of Play on June 2 indicates that the studio is ready to take a bold approach.
This State of Play event provided the most detailed preview of the game so far.
The footage showcased a more brutal style compared to Insomniac’s previous Marvel titles, featuring enemies being slashed, impaled, and thrown into environmental dangers.
The main combat system focuses on aggressive combo chains and counter techniques, enabling players to cut through enemies with ease.
Marvel Wolverine stands alone in Insomniac’s Marvel universe, maintaining continuity with the Spider-Man games while presenting a completely original story.

The premise is classic X-Men. Logan is on the trail of a group of mutants who have been hunted down and captured by the Reavers, a militia of cybernetic mercenaries. Their boss is Bolivar Trask, a billionaire industrialist with a fanatical belief in human superiority.
Logan can sneak up on foes, ambush them from above, or charge in with his claws out.
Special combat moves known as Techniques, like the Tornado Spin and Bull Rush, add a stylish touch to the brutality. Partnering with Jean Grey allows for Critical Strikes.
The creative team behind this project is impressive. Brian Horton and Cameron Christian are the creative and game directors, respectively, while writer Mary Kenney collaborates with Walt Williams, known for Spec Ops: The Line.
