About

It was shown at 2 showcases, most recently PlayStation State of Play - September 2026. The main story takes about 15 hours, doing everything about 20 hours. It was nominated for 3 awards.

Marvel's Wolverine is a single-player action-adventure game and a standalone entry in the Marvel's Spider-Man series, sharing continuity with those titles while telling its own self-contained story. Players control Logan/Wolverine in close-quarters combat, using his adamantium claws against enemies drawn from the X-Men comic book mythology.

Story

Logan is a centuries-old mutant whose skeleton is laced with indestructible adamantium, the result of brutal experimentation. Armed with retractable claws, enhanced senses, and a regenerative healing factor, he left the mutant strike force Team X three years ago under circumstances he has tried to put behind him. When mutants begin disappearing at the hands of Bolivar Trask, a billionaire industrialist commanding a cybernetically-enhanced private army known as the Reavers, Logan is drawn back to his former team. To stop Trask and rescue the missing mutants, he must confront the violent past he thought he had escaped.

What is happening now

Marvel's Wolverine is an action game from Insomniac Games launching on PlayStation 5 in September 2026. The studio is building the title around Logan's healing factor as a core mechanic, allowing him to recover from constant damage during combat encounters. Recent promotional materials reveal the game takes place in a setting where the X-Men don't yet exist, positioning it as a more isolated story for the character. A new cinematic trailer titled "Ain't No Hero" has generated discussion around the game's tone and thematic direction, with some noting parallels to Christopher Nolan's upcoming film. The trailer also sparked wider conversation about PlayStation's recent disc format decision, though the game itself has drawn praise for specific design choices - particularly Insomniac's decision to move away from certain features found in Marvel's Spider-Man while potentially reviving story elements from X-Men Origins. A prequel comic is available for players looking to build familiarity with the world before launch.
