Marvel's Wolverine Launches September 15 as PS5 Exclusive

Insomniac Games is set to release Marvel's Wolverine on September 15, 2026, exclusively for the PlayStation 5. The action-adventure title, developed by the studio behind the Marvel's Spider-Man series, presents a new, original story for the iconic mutant hero that is not an origin story. Creative director Marcus Smith confirmed that in the game's narrative, Logan already has adamantium bonded to his skeleton, though he does not remember the circumstances of how or why it happened.

The game is set in a world before the formation of the X-Men, where mutants are not widely known but are targeted by those who are aware of their existence. Logan is depicted as a member of Team X, working alongside fellow mutants Sabretooth and Mystique under the direction of Nathaniel Essex. Their mission involves providing safe harbor for mutants, placing them in conflict with Bolivar Trask, a billionaire determined to hunt mutants. The story is described as a linear, level-based adventure rather than an open-world experience, focusing on curated action and set pieces across locations including the Canadian wilderness, Telambang, and Madripoor.
