- Marvel’s Wolverine was first announced in September 2021, but no further news has emerged since then.
Insomniac Games, renowned for creating beloved titles such as Marvel’s Spider-Man and Ratchet & Clank, has shared a rather unsatisfactory update regarding its forthcoming project, Marvel’s Wolverine. Announced in September 2021, this much-anticipated PlayStation 5 title has seen a dearth of information since its introduction, leaving fans eager yet frustrated as they await any substantial news.
Update from Insomniac Games on Marvel’s Wolverine
In a recent Twitter interaction, Insomniac Games reassured fans that they are “actively working on Marvel’s Wolverine for PS5.”While this is positive news that the game remains in development, the studio emphasized that official updates will be shared only when they are prepared to do so. The message reiterated by Insomniac stated, “We can’t act on everything requested when things take time, resources, and the greenlight to share them.”This isn’t the first instance of the studio addressing fans’ desires for more information, as a statement in May 2024 echoed similar sentiments about waiting for the right moment to provide updates. Almost an entire year later, it seems that moment still hasn’t arrived.
We’re actively working on Marvel’s Wolverine for PS5. We’ll share news about the game when *we* are ready to share it. That will always be our answer. We can’t act on everything requested when things take time, resources, and the greenlight to share them. — Insomniac Games (@insomniacgames) April 3, 2025
After a lengthy silence spanning over three years, many fans have begun to question whether Marvel’s Wolverine will ever launch. While no official insights have been provided since its announcement, industry insiders remain optimistic. Notably, journalist Jeff Grubb has mentioned that Insomniac’s history with superhero games is a strong indicator of the game’s potential quality. He also hinted that the studio might reveal more information in the near future, although these predictions have yet to materialize.
It remains uncertain whether a significant data breach that impacted Insomniac Games in 2023 has affected their development schedule. This incident resulted in the leaking of sensitive employee data and an internal roadmap, but perhaps most concerning was the unauthorized release of an early prototype of Marvel’s Wolverine. Insomniac expressed their disappointment regarding the breach, stating it was a distressing experience. Once again, the studio has reassured fans that while they appreciate the enthusiasm surrounding the game, official news will be disseminated when the time is appropriate.
