Insomniac Games has finally confirmed that Marvel’s Wolverine will launch in Fall 2026, exclusively on PlayStation 5. The studio dropped a brand-new trailer showcasing Logan’s brutal combat, darker tone, and the exotic locations he’ll carve through on his path to uncovering the truth about his past.
A Fresh Take on Logan
Insomniac describes their Wolverine as bold, volatile, and deeply scarred—a reluctant hero constantly wrestling with the beast inside. Portrayed by Liam McIntyre, Logan’s hunt for answers drags him into a global conspiracy that spans Madripoor, Canada’s frozen wilderness, and Tokyo’s shadowy streets. Along the way, he’ll clash with enemies like the Reavers, face the sinister Omega Red, and cross paths with Mystique.
The trailer ends with a tease of a menacing purple robot prototype, likely hinting at Sentinel involvement, which could tie Wolverine’s solo story to the broader Marvel universe.
Combat: Ferocious and Unflinching
Gameplay emphasizes Wolverine’s up-close brutality. Players can expect fast, fluid melee attacks with his adamantium claws, devastating finishers, and a momentum system fueled by his signature berserker rage. Combat blends dismemberment, environmental takedowns, and gadget-like abilities, setting it apart from Insomniac’s Spider-Man games.
Wolverine’s rapid healing factor also plays a role, allowing him to endure relentless assaults while diving headfirst into combat encounters.
Cover Art and Accessibility
Insomniac also revealed the game’s cover art, designed in collaboration with renowned comic artist Jock. The bold and minimal design highlights Wolverine’s rugged complexity while drawing on the expressive energy of comic books.
Like Marvel’s Spider-Man, Wolverine will include robust accessibility options and descriptive audio, ensuring players of all backgrounds can immerse themselves in Logan’s journey.
A Serious Marvel Adventure
Unlike Insomniac’s Spider-Man, Wolverine’s story aims for a grittier, more brutal tone. The game will explore Logan’s traumatic origins, his inner conflict as a weapon forged against his will, and the cost of unleashing his claws.
With cinematic set-pieces, intense melee combat, and a globe-trotting story, Marvel’s Wolverine is positioned to be Insomniac’s most ambitious Marvel title yet.
Release Window
Marvel’s Wolverine launches Fall 2026 on PS5.
More updates are expected in Spring 2026, ahead of release.
