Insomniac Games has confirmed a September 15, 2026, release date for its highly anticipated Marvel’s Wolverine game, a PlayStation 5 exclusive. The announcement, made on February 24, 2026, follows a gameplay reveal in September 2025 and a Fall 2026 release window previously communicated by the developers.
Marvel’s Wolverine is being developed by Insomniac Games, the studio behind the critically acclaimed Marvel’s Spider-Man franchise. The game will offer an original take on the iconic character, exploring Logan’s past and featuring his signature adamantium claws and brutal combat style. The game’s focus on a darker, more violent style of heroism sets it apart from other superhero titles, signaling a willingness to explore more mature themes within the genre.
According to the PlayStation website, Wolverine will embark on a globe-spanning thriller as he searches for answers about his past. Players can expect fast-paced, fluid combat, action-packed set pieces and a gripping story rooted in the character’s comic book origins. The game will be available on both the standard PlayStation 5 and the upcoming PS5 Pro.
The game will feature familiar faces from the Marvel universe, including Mystique and Omega Red, with some characters aiding Logan and others posing a threat. Players will also encounter the Reavers, an enemy faction designed to challenge Wolverine’s instincts. This focus on established characters and factions underscores the game’s commitment to staying true to the source material while forging its own narrative path.
Marvel’s Wolverine was initially announced during the September 2021 PlayStation Showcase. The release date confirmation comes after a period of anticipation for fans eager to experience Insomniac’s interpretation of the Wolverine character. GameRant reports that, like the Spider-Man series, this title will be exclusive to the PlayStation 5 console.
Sony confirmed the earlier-than-expected release date, moving it up within the previously announced Fall 2026 window, GameSpot reported. The game’s development highlights the continued collaboration between Sony Interactive Entertainment and Marvel Games.
