Sony has finally pulled back the curtain on its hotly anticipated PlayStation 5-exclusive Wolverine video game during its State of Play September 2025 showcase.
From Insomniac, the developer of the hugely popular Spider-Man video games, Marvel's Wolverine is a gorier affair in keeping with the veteran X–Men superhero. It's due out fall 2026.
The trailer shows characters Omega Red and Mystique, as well as a face-off against a Sentinel.
We’d heard nothing official on Wolverine since its reveal in 2021, save a shift in leadership reported in October 2024. Previous creative director Brian Horton jumped ship to Xbox as the new creative director for Perfect Dark, which was being co-developed by The Initiative and Crystal Dynamics before Microsoft canceled the game.
Unofficially, early Wolverine footage and information emerged from data stolen from Insomniac in December 2023.
Be sure to check out everything announced during State of Play September 2025 to find out what else is coming to PlayStation 5.
