At its big State of Play show on Tuesday, Sony shared new look Marvel’s Wolverine, the next big title from Insomniac Games that’s launching exclusively on PS5 on September 15th. Dressed in the iconic yellow Wolverine outfit, Logan slunk around and stabbed his way through a bunch of enemies, using his blades to take them out. Combat looked weighty and satisfying — though the game is extremely bloody, with red flying everywhere as Logan fought his opponents.
Wolverine has been a long time coming, with Sony and Insomniac initially announcing the game all the way back in 2021. At the time, details were scarce. But Sony finally showed off some gameplay in a separate State of Play in September 2025 and revealed the official release date in February.
Insomniac has a long history with Marvel games; it was the studio behind the excellent Spider-Man game that launched on PS4 in 2018, and it followed that up with the spinoff Spider-Man: Miles Morales and a full sequel, Spider-Man 2, that starred both Peter Parker and Morales.
