Marvel’s Wolverine’s Story Lead Was Also the Lead Writer on Spec Ops: The Line

Walt D. Williams, known for having written games such as Spec Ops: The Line and Star Wars Battlefront 2, is the Story Lead on Insomniac's Wolverine game.

When they announced Marvel’s Wolverine, Insomniac Games confirmed that the game was in very early development at the time, which obviously means it’s going to be a while before we see or hear more about the game. What little we do know, of course, has certainly got people excited, and recently, another reason to get excited has come to light.

As spotted over on Twitter by @shinobi602, the Story Lead for Marvel’s Wolverine at Insomniac Games is Walt D. Williams. In case you’re not familiar with his work, he was the Lead Writer on the excellent Spec Ops: The Line, and is also known for having written games like Star Wars Battlefront 2, Star Wars: Squadrons, and more. Also on the writing team for Wolverine, as pointed out by creative director Brian Horton, is Mary Kenney, who also worked on Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

Marvel’s Wolverine is in the works exclusively for the PS5. The aforementioned Horton recently confirmed that the game will have a “mature tone.” Read more on that through here.
