Fans eagerly awaiting Insomniac Games’ take on Marvel’s Wolverine may soon get their first official look since the 2021 PlayStation Showcase. Reports suggest the highly anticipated title is "almost certainly" set to be featured in PlayStation’s upcoming State of Play event, slated for late September. This potential reveal comes after the completion of its next trailer, offering a significant update on the game’s development.
Key Takeaways
- Marvel’s Wolverine is reportedly nearing a public reveal, with a new trailer completed.
- The game is expected to be showcased at PlayStation’s next State of Play, likely in late September.
- Development faced challenges due to a ransomware attack in December 2023, though the full impact is unclear.
A Glimpse of Wolverine
Insider Gaming sources indicate that Insomniac Games’ Wolverine is poised for a significant presence at the next PlayStation State of Play. This would mark the first official gameplay or trailer reveal since the initial announcement in 2021. The production of a new trailer has reportedly concluded, making its inclusion in the upcoming showcase highly probable. Should the game not appear at the State of Play, its trailer is still expected to be released within the next few months, with The Game Awards being another potential venue.
Development Hurdles and Future Prospects
The development of Marvel’s Wolverine has not been without its challenges. The studio experienced a significant ransomware attack in December 2023, which led to the leak of employee information and substantial game footage. While this incident necessitated some adjustments to the game’s plans, the exact extent of these changes remains unknown. As of now, neither PlayStation nor Insomniac Games has provided a release date for Wolverine, but an announcement in the coming weeks is anticipated. The game is confirmed to be a PlayStation 5 exclusive.
What Else to Expect from State of Play
While Wolverine is a major draw, the upcoming State of Play event is rumored to feature a diverse lineup of titles. Potential appearances include Bungie’s ‘Marathon’, a new Metroidvania entry in the God of War series (with a mainline title also reportedly in development), Phantom Blade 0, and possibly Naughty Dog’s ‘Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet’. If the event proceeds as planned for late September, a deeper look at ‘Ghost of Yotei’, scheduled for release on October 2, 2025, is also likely.
