In Chris Claremont and Frank Miller’s limited series “Wolverine”, we find the iconic lines that define the Marvel superhero: “I’m the best there is at what I do. But what I do best isn’t very nice.” The X-Man and Avenger is making a comeback in video games with Insomniac Games’ "Marvel’s Wolverine". After revealing next to nothing on the superhero action-adventure game ever since it was announced in 2021, Insomniac recently dropped the gameplay trailer that showed the clawed mutant in a slashing and ripping frenzy, battling numerous villains like Omega Red and The Reavers.

Marvel’s Wolverine is a solo adventure for Wolverine and will take him to numerous exotic locales around the world, including Tokyo and Madripoor. The heart of this standalone Logan story is not much different from what you would expect from a solo Wolverine adventure: he is several centuries old, but no matter how fast he heals, he has gaps in his memories, pieces of a dark past he is not aware of, pieces that circumstances sometimes help reveal. In this game, Logan will go on a hunt “to uncover the secrets of a dark past that keeps eluding him.”

Insomniac Games is going for “an original take” on the Marvel Comics character. Marcus Smith, Creative Director at Insomniac Games, said in a video that working with Wolverine is interesting because “he is an unreliable narrator. He has gaps in his memory, so Wolverine doesn’t remember a lot of his life. And that’s got to be an extremely frustrating aspect.”

Eric Monacelli, Executive Producer, Marvel Games, said in the video: “He is this ball of rage and fury but then he could turn on a dime and he could be very, very kind and tender in the next moment."

Insomniac and Marvel Games’ Wolverine will be “bold, resilient, and volatile”, and his heroism will be “much darker and more brutal than you might expect from Insomniac.”

Insomniac’s Logan “is the quintessential reluctant hero – haunted by the consequences of unleashing the beast within. Wolverine might be distant, but he isn’t afraid to get up-close and personal when it counts.”

“We aim to deliver the ultimate Wolverine fantasy built on Insomniac staples like fast, fluid, and ferocious combat; exhilarating, action-packed set pieces; robust accessibility features; and a gripping story that taps into the core tenets of one of the most compelling comic book characters of all-time,” Insomniac Games said in a PlayStation Blog post.

Marvel's Wolverine is due out in Fall 2026. The developers plan to release more content on the action game in Spring 2026.
