Marvel’s Wolverine has finally been revealed in greater detail, revealing tons of new information about Insomniac’s next superhero title. From story details that include iconic comic characters to burtal gameplay footage, players have a lot to look forward to in this brutal take on the X-Men’s most popular figure.
Both a gameplay trailer and a developer Deep Dive were shared during PlayStation’s September 2025 State of Play event, which showed Marvel’s Wolverine to cap off the showcase. Made by the creators of the Marvel’s Spider-Man series, this title offers a darker, grittier adventure starring the razor-sharp claws of the mutant Wolverine.
Marvel’s Wolverine Release Window
Do The Best At What You Do In One Year
Marvel’s Wolverine has a planned release window of Fall 2026, around a year from this time of writing. With more details about the game planned to be revealed around Spring 2026, players still have to wait for some time before they can unleash Logan’s berserker rage themselves.
According to additional information provided by a PlayStation Blog post about Marvel’s Wolverine, future updates will be provided through Insomniac Games’ social channels. This could eventually include an exact release date, but you shouldn’t expect one until at least the showcase in Spring 2026.
Marvel’s Wolverine Gameplay & Story Details
Brutal Combat That Utilizes All Of Logan’s Mutant Abilities
The gameplay trailer showed off a brutal display of third-person combat, similar in nature to Marvel’s Spider-Man, but with a far darker edge. Wolverine doesn’t just attack his foes, he chops up whatever threat is in front of him to ribbons, using fluid, fast-paced attacks that utilize his signature adamantium claws.
Each of Wolverine’s mutant abilities are mentioned to be present in Marvel’s Wolverine, from his resilient adamantium skeleton to his savage berserker rage and regenerative healing factor. Fast combo attacks seem to emphasize Wolverine’s speed, as he uses the environment to gain an upper hand against anyone who threatens him.
One of the most noticeable gameplay elements in the trailer is the presence of gory finishing moves Wolverine uses to take out foes. This is similar to gameplay systems in Marvel’s Spider-Man, reflecting a familiar pacing to combat.
As for its story, Marvel’s Wolverine follows Logan as a dark past threatens to consume him, leading him on a journey to discover lost memories. This mysterious angle to Wolverine’s journey leads him hunting down clues while being hunted himself, turning locations he visits into bloody battlegrounds.
From the developer Deep Dive, Marvel’s Wolverine is confirmed to have players visit several iconic locations from Logan’s history, from the frozen Canadian wilderness, the bustling streets of Tokyo, and the island nation of Madripoor. These spots are likely to have some familiar faces, alongside many different missions unique to each location.
Travel doesn’t seem to be as freeform as Marvel’s Spider-Man, but several shots in the trailer show Wolverine running along rooftops, implying that he has ways to get around areas. According to the mentioned PlayStation Blog post, Wolverine can build his berserker rage as he fights, using furious momentum to dispatch whatever enemies dare take him on.
Every Character Revealed In Marvel’s Wolverine
Faces From The Comics Create Enemies And Unexpected Allies
Several characters made cameo appearances in the gameplay trailer, including some figures that will undoubtedly become obstacles in Wolverine’s path. Instantly recognizable faces from X-Men and Wolverine comics seem to have a place in the game’s story, including:
Sentinel Prototype
Mystique
Omega Red
Razor Fist?
Obviously, the Sentinel seen at the end of the trailer may pose the biggest threat to Wolverine, as the robot is one of many designed to eliminate mutants like Logan. However, Omega Red is a more personal enemy, whose immediate violence against Wolverine could easily make him into a challenging boss fight within the story.
Since the news surrounding Marvel’s Wolverine states the character will visit places like Japan, characters like Dakan or Silver Samurai could also make an appearance. If Logan’s greatest foe, Sabretooth, isn’t in the game too, it would be a massive shock.
Meanwhile, Mystique seems to be some sort of ally to Wolverine, at least taking out the same high-tech enemies Logan is seen fighting throughout the trailer. The shapeshifter has not exactly been trustworthy in her complicated comic history, though, so it remains to be seen if she will be more helpful than harmful to the six-clawed traveler.
Speaking of the enemies both Mystique and Wolverine fight, some of them seem to resemble the character Razor Fist, who first debuted in a Wolverine comic. This singular character may have been turned into a larger force, as story details describe Logan going up against a group called The Reavers, who act as an enemy faction.
