In a surprise announcement this morning, Insomniac Games has revealed the release date for Marvel’s Wolverine. It’s coming on September 15, 2026.
This comes from a post shared across social media by Insomniac, reading: “Let’s cut to the chase: Marvel’s Wolverine launches September 15, 2026.” A six-second teaser accompanied this:
It’s a sudden, welcome release date announcement after expectations rose for a Wolverine appearance in a State of Play earlier this month, only to have those expectations disappointed when it did not show up.
Wolverine has been a bit of an elusive game since its initial announcement. The game was first teased at The Game Awards was back in 2021 with a brief cinematic reveal. It then went dormant (save for a leak associated with a massive Insomniac hack in 2023) until last year, when we saw our first, gory trailer for the game revealing various locations, as well as Wolverine’s actor: Liam Mcintyre, known from Gears as JD Fenix.
We also got more information at the time from the PlayStation blog, referring to the game as a “global thriller” and naming some of the familiar characters he will encounter in his adventure, such as Mystique and Omega Red.
Wolverine will launch exclusively on PlayStation 5.
