After a considerable wait, Marvel’s Wolverine is just around the corner. And despite many setbacks, including the infamous Rhysida leak, we are all just months away from finally putting our digital healing factor to good use.
And with such an anticipated game on the horizon, many questions arise. If these are troubling you, then no worries. Here is everything you need to know about Marvel’s Wolverine.
What is the release date for Marvel’s Wolverine?
Marvel’s Wolverine is scheduled to be released on September 15, 2026.
What platforms will Marvel’s Wolverine release on?
Marvel’s Wolverine will release exclusively on PlayStation 5. Given Sony’s recent pulling back from releasing their games on PC, it is likely to remain that way for the foreseeable future.
What price is Marvel’s Wolverine launching at?
There hasn’t been an official announcement regarding Marvel’s Wolverine price at launch, but it will most likely set you back $69.99, the AAA standard nowadays.
How does Marvel’s Wolverine gameplay work?
A third-person action-adventure game, Marvel’s Wolverine gameplay will pretty much focus on what makes the iconic X-Man great: a gory, R-rated fest thanks to his adamantium claws. Gameplay shared by the devs shows Wolverine engaging in a combat system similar to that of Marvel’s Spider-Man and its sequels, albeit tailored to be more grounded and brutal.
Reportedly, the game will not be fully open-world, instead choosing a semi-open approach, prioritizing a story-driven experience. You’ll be able to explore the world, and while you won’t be able to swing around, given a lack of web-shooters, parkour, Wolverine’s motorcycle, and claw climbing will be your method of transportation.
Where is the story and setting for Marvel’s Wolverine?
For the time being, all we know about Marvel’s Wolverine story is that it will be an original story in which Wolverine will be “on the hunt to uncover the secrets of a dark past that keeps eluding him,” which is a story that has been explored in the X-Men comics and movies.
Contrary to the Spider-Man games, though, Marvel’s Wolverine, according to Insomniac Games, will have at least three different locations: Madripoor, the fictional island as seen in the comics, Canada, and Tokyo.
Who plays Wolverine in Marvel’s Wolverine?
The voice behind Wolverine in his long-anticipated game will be Australian actor Liam McIntyre. He is no stranger to video games, as he played JD Fenix in Gears of War 4 and Gears 5, as well as Taron Malicos in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
Is Marvel’s Wolverine set in the same universe as Marvel’s Spider-Man?
Yes, Insomniac Games has confirmed that both Marvel’s Wolverine and Marvel’s Spider-Man share the same universe. Things already appeared to be that way from the get-go, as Wolverine’s teaser featured the “1048” nod, which refers to Earth-1048, the universe that houses all the Spider-Man games.
With that being said, Earth-1048 is no stranger to other Marvel characters popping up. There are many examples, such as the Sanctum Sanctorum being a building you photograph in Marvel’s Spider-Man, or characters referencing other heroes such as Black Panther, Ghost Rider, Iron Man, or Captain America.
