Wolverine’s claws are back in the spotlight at D23 2026! Developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, Marvel’s Wolverine unveiled on August 14, 2026 a new trailer centered on its story, ahead of its exclusive PS5 release on September 15, 2026. Fresh footage spotlights Wolverine alongside Jean Grey and pitting him against Lady Deathstrike as well as The Hand, while underscoring the darker tone of this Canadian mutant-focused adventure.
The project was born at Insomniac Games during the development of Marvel’s Spider-Man. As explained by Ryan Schneider, Franchise Director, Strategy & Studio Relations at Insomniac Games, it is "an independent game", developed by Brian Horton and Cameron Christian, both of whom previously worked on Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. And to add: "In the wake of our Spider-Man games, our goal here isn’t just to live up to what makes the character so popular, but also to look for chances to make it original and to reflect the spirit of Insomniac".
The studio aims to deliver a standalone adventure that sets itself apart from the Spider-Man lineup, while preserving its narrative approach and appetite for spectacular combat. Liam McIntyre lends his voice and likeness to Logan, while Krizia Bajos voices Jean Grey. The story follows Wolverine on an international quest sparked by the search for kidnapped young mutants, punctuated by encounters with familiar Marvel figures, including Mystique, Sabretooth and Lady Deathstrike.
This new video plunges us into a dark, raw atmosphere, centered on a tired Logan who’s fed up with fighting. While he longs for peace, the brutality always catches up with him, no matter where he goes. Far from a conventional hero or savior, he fully embraces his role as a lone anti-hero. The bande-annonce immediately sets the tone for the game: an intense adventure with a Wolverine determined to outlast every opponent.
Combat will be fast and brutal, with Logan's adamantium claws at the center of the action. The hero will traverse several regions, including Madripoor, a fictional island famed for its criminal activity. The story should also explore his relationships with Jean Grey and the former members of Team X. This part of his past will be developed in a digital comic serving as a prequel to the game, written by Walt Williams, narrative director at Insomniac Games, and illustrated by Luke Ross, with a cover by Iban Coello.
The score for Marvel’s Wolverine has been entrusted to David Fleming, a composer known for his work across film, television, and video games. Insomniac Games announces an evolving soundtrack that can adapt to combat and the different stages of Logan’s journey. The complete original soundtrack will be released on August 28, 2026, a few weeks before the game's launch.
Marvel’s Wolverine will be released on September 15, 2026 for PS5. Players can already add it to their wishlist and pre-order the standard edition or the digital deluxe edition on the PlayStation Store. From Logan’s past to his ties with Team X and his upcoming clash with The Hand, this new adventure should reveal a more personal side of the adamantium-clawed mutant. We can’t wait!
