Marvel’s Wolverine game release date speculation, gameplay, more

Here's everything we know about Insomniac's upcoming Wolverine game for PS5, including the latest Marvel's Wolverine release date speculation.

When is the Marvel’s Wolverine release date? Marvel’s Wolverine is undoubtedly one of the most exciting games in the distant future. Coming from Marvel maestros Insomniac Games and exclusive to PS5, the game will be a showpiece title for Sony’s system. Insomniac’s Spider-Man games have been a huge hit for the PS5 and PS4, so Wolverine will likely be just as big when it releases.

We’re hoping that the upcoming title can end up on the best PS5 games list. But, enough about the excitement surrounding the game. Below you can find out everything we know about the Wolverine game, detailing the Wolverine release date, gameplay, story details, and more.

Marvel’s Wolverine release date speculation

We expect the Marvel’s Wolverine release date to be late 2024 or early 2025 on PS5. This is due to the fact that Insomniac Games revealed the game when it was early in development, and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 from the developer is set to release later this year.

With the PlayStation 5 exclusive still early on in development after its reveal, we don’t expect any new information regarding Marvel’s Wolverine until after the Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 release date at the very earliest.

Marvel’s Wolverine story

Marvel’s Wolverine is a standalone adventure featuring the superhero and will respect the DNA of the character while making him feel fresh. The game will have an “emotional narrative” with “cutting-edge gameplay”.

That is all the information we have on the game’s story right now, but once marketing ramps up or leaks emerge, we’ll keep you updated with the latest info.

Marvel’s Wolverine gameplay

Marvel’s Wolverine won’t be showing gameplay for a long time. The game is in very early development and the teaser from the PlayStation Showcase in 2021 was a short CGI trailer.

Don’t expect to see gameplay from Marvel’s Wolverine until Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has released at least. For now, though, you can watch the teaser below:

Marvel’s Wolverine easter eggs

The first trailer for Wolverine did feature some easter eggs which could hint at what we can expect from the game. The Princess Bar is the name of the bar Wolverine is drinking in, which is from the comics, and is a bar located in Madripoor, a fictional island in South-East Asia. This could be where the game is set.

On top of that, the Wolverine trailer features a number-plate reading ‘HLK 181’. If you look at issue 181 of The Incredible Hulk comic, you will find that in this issue, Wolverine fights Hulk. Therefore, we could be in for a Hulk vs. Wolverine fight in the game.

That covers all we know about Marvel’s Wolverine right now, including the Wolverine release date. Stay up to date with even more upcoming PS5 games with our guide on the console’s upcoming releases.
