“We want to show you more of the game first.”

Granted, Marvel’s Wolverine is already confirmed to launch on September 15th for PS5, thus avoiding the juggernaut that is Grand Theft Auto 6 in November. While the pricing remains to be announced, it’s unlikely that Insomniac will deviate from the usual $69.99.

However, one reason that it hasn’t opened pre-orders could be due to the Deluxe Edition. Perhaps there are some exclusive costumes for Wolverine that it wants to reveal while at the same time promising plenty to earn in-game. There may also be other gameplay-related benefits that the studio has yet to explain.

Either way, assuming Housemarque’s Saros gets a dedicated State of Play next month ahead of its launch on April 30th, Insomniac may reveal more of Marvel’s Wolverine in May. It also wouldn’t be surprising if it just dropped a new gameplay trailer in June at the Summer Game Fest showcase and then opened pre-orders. Stay tuned for updates, and head here to learn about how long actor Liam J McIntyre has been involved.

Actor Liam J McIntyre, who voices James “Logan” Howlett, tweeted that he had been “working on this for almost as long as my son has been alive. I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time…not long now!!!” That’s a fairly long time, but keep in mind that it only measures Howlett’s involvement. The process of conceptualizing and pre-production may date back even further back.

It’s interesting to put into perspective, because it would mean that Insomniac has had plans for Marvel’s Wolverine while working on Ratchet and Clank and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Of course, based on that unfortunate leak from 2023, we know that the studio has even more projects in the works, so it may not be that surprising.

Regardless, Marvel’s Wolverine has been looking very exciting, especially after its first gameplay reveal. As an original story, it focuses on Logan as he journeys across locations like Madripoor and Tokyo to recover his lost memories. Foes like the Reavers and Sentinels steam forth to stop him, and he dons the signature yellow garb to slice and dice.

Despite missing the latest State of Play, Insomniac will reveal even more details this Spring, so stay tuned.

As an original story, the action-adventure title follows James “Logan” Howlett on a quest to recover his memories. However, several key factions and individuals don’t want that, including the Reavers, Sentinels, and long-time foes such as Omega Red. Of course, you also have the shape-shifting Mystique, who seemingly has her own motivations.

Unlike Insomniac’s Spider-Man series, Marvel’s Wolverine appears to be a more linear affair. It’s also far bloodier with players ripping through enemies with his Adamantium Claws, whether it’s separating limb from limb or outright stabbing them in the face. Logan’s adventures will see him venture through Madripoor, Tokyo and Canada to reclaim his memories.

Of course, there’s still a lot we don’t know, but fortunately, Insomniac Games will reveal more this Spring. A dedicated State of Play seems about right, so stay tuned for more details.

Marvel’s Wolverine will launch exclusively on PS5 this Fall and features PS5 Pro support. It’s one of two major first-party single-player games from PlayStation this year, the other being Housemarque’s Saros, which launches on April 30th. Check out the latest gameplay trailer for the latter here.
