Summary
A reliable gaming news leaker has shared some interesting information aboutMarvel’s Wolverine, including a potential launch window of 2025, along with its tone and narrative setting. WithMarvel’s Spider-Man 2now out in the wild, Insomniac fans are turning their sights towardthe developer’s upcomingWolverinegame, which was announced alongsideSpider-Man 2back in 2021. During an action-packed PlayStation Showcase livestream, eager players were greeted by the sight of Logan sitting in a dirty bar surrounded by bodies, with his trademark Adamantium claws revealing exactly who is starring in Insomniac’s next epic superhero title.
Since then, very little has been officially revealed aboutMarvel’s Wolverine, save that it will be set in the same continuity as Insomniac’s acclaimedSpider-Mangames and thatSpec Ops: The Linewriter Walt D. Williams will serve as Narrative Director. This has fueled speculation that Insomniac will embrace Logan’s darker andmore violent nature inMarvel’s Wolverine, mirroring the approach taken by 2009’sX-Men Origins: Wolverinetie-in game. Additionally, fan-favorite Wolverine voice actor Steve Blum posted an interesting message on social media earlier this year that had fans suspecting that he will reprise his role as the tough-as-nails Canadian mutant.
Noteworthy video game leaker Daniel Richtman claims to know a great deal ’s Wolverine, as reported byGamingBoltearlier this week. According to Richtman, Insomniac is aiming to releaseMarvel’s Wolverineat some point in 2025 despite previous claims that the game would launch next year. These leaks suggested thatWolverinecould be delayed internally to allow Insomniac to focus on finishingSpider-Man 2, and if Richtman is correct this could very well be the case.
Daniel Richtman’s latest claims also support previous rumors thatMarvel’s Wolverinewould be set at least partially in Madripoor, the fictional Southeast Asian city that was briefly featured inThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Some of Wolverine’s most famous comic stories are set on the crime-ridden island, so many agree that it’s a natural setting for his next solo game. Additionally, Richtman says thatMarvel’s Wolverinewill have a darker and more mature tone than Insomniac’sSpider-Mangames, something that was hinted at by creative director Brian Horton not long after the game was announced in 2021.
Given the high quality andchart-topping success ofMarvel’s Spider-Man 2and its predecessors, fans are eager to see how Insomniac handles Logan inMarvel’s Wolverine. The fact that so much of the upcoming game is still shrouded in mystery only adds to this excitement, though players might not get answers until at least 2025 if Daniel Richtman is to be believed. If his claims are true, thenMarvel’s Wolverinecould also be one of the darkest and most brutal Marvel titles ever made.
