Sony’s recent PlayStation State of Play was jam-packed with a number of exciting announcements, from the first look at Ikumi Nakamura’s ‘Kemuri’ to official confirmation of Rayman Legends Retold, and of course, the announcement of the God of War spin-off / side-quel Laufey. As expected however, the console maker kicked things off with the first proper look at gameplay and pre-order details for Insomniac’s Wolverine ahead of its launch this September.

Shown off during Sony’s State of Play (and expanded upon via the PlayStation Blog), Insomniac Games offered fans a comprehensive look into Marvel’s Wolverine. As expected, the title is more linear and structured in nature when compared to the studio’s Spider-Man offerings, being described as “a brutal, violent, and action-packed single-player adventure.”

Even so, it appears as though players will be able to approach certain situations differently, with the gameplay demo showcasing a mix of both stealth and bloody action alongside a ton of environmental interactivity during combat.

Perhaps the biggest surprise from the showing was the reveal that Logan won’t always be fighting alone, with the likes of Jean Grey assisting during the mission; allowing for cool dual-takedowns of enemies. Other notable mutants revealed to be present during the story include Mystique and Sabretooth.

Gameplay-wise, Insomniac detailed some of Logan's many abilities, with the Wolverine being able to tap into special combat moves such as a ‘Tornado Spin’ and ‘Bull Rush’. Alongside a health bar, players will be able to manage Logan’s rage meter. Split into 3 chunks, “every successful attack, parry, and kill will build up Logan’s Rage” allowing him to hit harder and heal faster – with Tier 3 activating a comic-inspired “monochromatic explosion of savagery.”

While we already knew when to expect Wolverine to be released, PlayStation have now gone live with pre-orders. Announcing 2 different editions, the standard costs £69.99 and will include the core game and little else (although all those who pre-order will be given early access to a couple cosmetics alongside 1 technique point and a collection of PlayStation avatars).

The Digital Deluxe Edition meanwhile goes for £10 extra (£79.99) and throws in 5 exclusive skins; 5 exclusive claws and 3 additional technique points – alongside the aforementioned pre-order bonuses.

While we’ve already seen more than enough to generate a great deal of excitement, Insomniac Games have promised that there is more to share in the lead-up to launch, including “more intense battles, suits, enemy factions, and characters”. Marvel’s Wolverine officially launches on the 15th of September.

A few hours ago, a rumor started circulating about Insomniac Games canceling the leaked Venom standalone game. The rumor originated from a fairly credible source: Nadji Jeter, the voice actor of Miles Morales in the Spider-Man games, claimed as much in an interview with YouTube channel Love it Film. Let me give y'all an exclusive. We were going to have a Venom game. Yeah, we were going to have a Venom game and a Venom DLC, but we lost Tony Todd. They showed me how it was going to start. They showed me how everything was going to be. It […]

Insomniac Games in particular has had a bit of a history when it comes to their projects leaking early. Be it through data breaches or voice actor slip-ups the studio’s in-development titles have seemingly been known for quite some time. That said, in what is perhaps the first semi-official confirmation, the face model for Peter Parker in Marvel’s Spider-Man has teased their next project.

Posting a story to their Instagram page, the face model for Peter Parker in Marvel’s Spider-Man games ‘Ben Jordan’ shared an image of themselves at a performance capture studio alongside the caption “IYKYK” (if you know you know).

Having worked exclusively on the Spider-Man games in this particular industry, many fans are speculating that work is officially starting on the unannounced Spider-Man 3.

As mentioned, Insomniac Games have suffered from data breaches in the past which indicated that the studio would be working on a 3rd mainline entry in the successful Spider-Man series.

That said, with a number of these leaked projects (such as Spider-Man The Great Web and the Venom spin-off) seemingly being cancelled, the status of Spider-Man 3 was not guaranteed. Fortunately, it appears as though these fears can be put to rest.

Of course, Insomniac’s next project is slated to be Marvel’s Wolverine, with the much-anticipated title set to release later this year. As such, it is likely that the next Spider-Man is still quite a ways away – even though Insomniac are a surprisingly efficient studio.

KitGuru says: What do you think of this teaser? Could it be anything else other than Spider-Man 3? Let us know your thoughts down below.

Insomniac Games was done letting us wait, as it announced in a short and to-the-point post on its official social channels that Marvel's Wolverine will release on PS5 this coming September 15, 2026. "Let's cut to the chase" writes Insomniac, before announcing the release date. While it's great to no longer be in the dark on the release date for what is arguably the most anticipated game coming to PS5 for PlayStation players this year, it is a little curious as to why we didn't get this news two weeks ago, when Sony held its first State of Play event […]
