Marvel’s Wolverine Release Date Set for September
▼ Summary
– Marvel’s Wolverine, the next game from Insomniac, has an official release date of September 15, 2026.
– The release date was announced simply via a brief social media post and video, not a major showcase.
– The announcement did not include any new gameplay footage or additional details about the game.
– The game’s absence from a recent major Sony State of Play showcase was expected, as Insomniac had previously indicated it wouldn’t be shown.
– Insomniac has teased that a more substantial look at the game, like a larger trailer, is likely coming in the spring.
Following the monumental achievements of the Insomniac Spider-Man series, the studio’s upcoming title, Marvel’s Wolverine, stands as one of the most eagerly awaited video game releases. The official launch date has now been confirmed through a direct social media announcement, bypassing the typical elaborate reveal events. The game is scheduled to arrive on September 15, 2026, aligning with the previously communicated fall 2026 window.
Insomniac shared the news across its social media channels with a brief, six-second video. The accompanying text simply stated, “Let’s cut to the chase: Marvel’s Wolverine launches September 15, 2026.” The video itself displayed the game’s established key artwork, featuring the iconic mutant, alongside the new release date text. While this confirmation is welcome, many enthusiasts hoping for fresh gameplay footage or additional details will have to wait a while longer.
The timing of this announcement is particularly noteworthy. It arrives just weeks after a major Sony State of Play presentation, from which Wolverine was conspicuously absent. Insomniac had previously indicated the game would not be featured, but also hinted in its last trailer that a more substantial reveal was planned for this spring. This suggests a larger trailer or a dedicated showcase event could be on the horizon in the coming months. Having a firm release date locked in is a significant step forward, and the gaming community is now keenly anticipating further glimpses of the project.
For fans of Marvel gaming, the recent X-Men-centric trailer for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is worth a look. PlayStation followers can also explore the full slate of announcements from the latest State of Play, which included news on new God of War remakes, the revival of 2D Castlevania, and a sequel to Kena: Bridge of Spirits.
