Wolverine Unleashed in First Bloody Gameplay Trailer

The long-awaited gameplay reveal for Insomniac Games’ Wolverine has finally arrived, showcasing a surprisingly visceral and brutal take on the iconic Marvel mutant. Sony’s recent State of Play presentation gave fans their first real look at the title, which is currently slated for a PS5 release in fall 2026. While a specific date remains unconfirmed, the new footage confirms the game is in an advanced state of development.

This marks the first substantial update since the project’s initial announcement back in 2021, which featured a brief cinematic teaser. The latest trailer moves beyond concept, presenting actual in-game action that highlights the character’s signature ferocity. According to the official synopsis, players will “become a living weapon” as Wolverine searches for clues about his past, utilizing “brutal claw combat, violent rage, and relentless determination” to uncover the truth of his identity.

Early development footage of the game previously surfaced online in late 2023 as part of a major data breach affecting Insomniac Games. That leak offered an unofficial, incomplete glimpse, but the new trailer provides a polished, official view of the combat and tone.

Anticipation for the title has been exceptionally high, largely due to Insomniac’s critically acclaimed track record with the Spider-Man franchise. The developer’s successful trio of web-slinging adventures, culminating in 2023’s Spider-Man 2, has built significant trust and excitement for their interpretation of another beloved Marvel hero.
