We have already covered the announcement of Spider-Man 2 from Insomniac. However the studio are also working on a Wolverine game which will be exclusive to the PS5. The game is only in the very early development stages. You can catch a small teaser trailer for the game, but really there’s no proper footage yet. Check it out.
Here are some details via PlayStation.Blog from Insomniac’s Ryan Schneider.
“Back when we were working on Marvel’s Spider-Man, there would be times where all of us—Insomniac, Sony Interactive Entertainment, and Marvel—would brainstorm together about the future beyond the web-slinger. And even in those early discussions, Wolverine continually came up as the character we’d be really stoked to work on together. Fast-forward a couple years and we’re suddenly standing in front of Sony Interactive Entertainment and Marvel formally pitching a PlayStation 5 game starring the adamantium-clawed Mutant! (Since you just saw the announce teaser, we can confirm that the pitch seemed to go pretty well.)”

“Marvel’s Wolverine is a standalone game being directed by Brian Horton (creative director) and Cameron Christian (game director), who recently led the creative efforts on Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, a game we’re extremely proud of at Insomniac. In the vein of our Spider-Man games, our goal here is to not only respect the DNA of what makes the character so popular, but also look for opportunities to make it feel fresh and truly reflect the Insomniac spirit. Even though Marvel’s Wolverine is very early in development, from what I’ve seen of its emotional narrative and cutting-edge gameplay (see what I did there?), the team is already creating something truly special.”
Yeah, I’m starting to feel a little bit jealous of PS5 owners now. I think my Son is gonna try and convince me to get him one. He has the Xbox Series X already, but is now he’s desperate to play both Spider-Man games and this Wolverine game. Hmm, we shall have to see about that? Spider-Man was an acclaimed game from Insomniac so I would assume we should expect great things from both Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine.
What do you think of this Wolverine game announcement and teaser? As always, leave any thoughts below.
