Marvel’s Wolverine Launches September 15

Sony Interactive Entertainment and Insomniac Games have officially confirmed that the highly anticipated Marvel’s Wolverine will launch on September 15 exclusively for PlayStation 5.

The announcement was surprisingly made via PlayStation’s official social channels without any prior warning, with wishlist options now available ahead of release.

The September date places the title well ahead of Grand Theft Auto VI, currently slated for November 2026, giving Insomniac’s next blockbuster room to command attention in its own window.

A Darker, More Brutal Insomniac Project

From its initial gameplay reveal, Marvel’s Wolverine has signalled a noticeably more mature tone compared to Insomniac’s previous superhero outings.

Logan’s combat appears visceral and grounded, with his adamantium claws front and centre in close-quarters encounters. The footage suggests a heavier emphasis on brutality, aligning more closely with the character’s comic roots.

The story is set to take players to Madripoor, a fictional Marvel location inspired by Southeast Asia, long associated with Wolverine’s grittier narrative arcs.

A Major PS5 Exclusive for 2026

Insomniac has firmly established itself as one of Sony’s most reliable first-party studios, with Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 earning critical and commercial success.

With Marvel’s Wolverine, the studio appears poised to deliver once more with the pick of the bunch of PlayStation 5’s flagship exclusives for 2026. More details on gameplay systems and narrative scope are expected in the months leading up to launch.
