Marvel’s Wolverine PS5 Gameplay Revealed, Release Window Confirmed Insomniac Games closes State of Play with new Wolverine footage and a Fall 2026 release window

PlayStation’s September 24 State of Play ended with one of the most anticipated reveals in years: Marvel’s Wolverine. Insomniac Games not only dropped a gameplay trailer but also confirmed that the PS5 exclusive will arrive in Fall 2026.

🎮 Wolverine’s Brutal Gameplay

The new trailer showcased Logan’s razor-sharp combat, beginning with him tearing through enemies using his adamantium claws. The action will feature fast-paced dashes, vicious combos, and cinematic finishers, all built around Wolverine’s iconic fighting style.

Wolverine won’t just rely on street clothes, either—the footage confirmed the return of his classic yellow X-Men suit and mask. Fans also caught glimpses of him roaring down a motorcycle through the Canadian wilderness, with road signs referencing Squamish, British Columbia.

🎭 Characters and Story Hints

While Insomniac is keeping most of the story under wraps, the studio confirmed Wolverine will be joined by a cast of Marvel and X-Men characters, including Mystique, Omega Red, and the Sentinels. The tone is darker and more violent than past Insomniac projects, suggesting the game may earn a Mature ESRB rating.

Adding to the excitement, Liam McIntyre—best known for his roles in Gears of War and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order—will voice Logan.

📅 Release Window Confirmed

After years of silence following its 2021 teaser, Insomniac confirmed Marvel’s Wolverine is officially on track for a Fall 2026 release on PS5. The gameplay footage shown was captured on the PS5 Pro, showcasing the studio’s next-level visuals and animation.

Fans can expect more updates in Spring 2026, when Insomniac will reveal deeper story and gameplay details.

🚀 2026’s Stacked Gaming Calendar

Marvel’s Wolverine joins an already massive lineup of 2026 AAA titles, including:

Grand Theft Auto VI
Resident Evil Requiem
007: First Light

With this roster, 2026 is shaping up to be one of the biggest years in gaming history.

✅ Final Thoughts

Insomniac Games is setting the stage for Marvel’s Wolverine to become one of PlayStation’s flagship exclusives. Between its fast, brutal combat, mature tone, and iconic Marvel characters, the game looks like a dream project for fans of Logan.
