Marvel’s Wolverine is a highly anticipated upcoming action-adventure game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The game is based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name and will be a PlayStation 5 exclusive.

The game was announced during a PlayStation Showcase event in September 2021 with a teaser trailer. The trailer showcased Wolverine in a dark and gritty environment, hinting at a mature and violent take on the character.

Shared Universe

Insomniac Games has confirmed that Marvel’s Wolverine will be set in the same universe as Spider-Man 2. This means that the events of both games will take place in the same continuity and could potentially tie into each other.

“They’re all 1048. I think I got that right,” said Spider-Man 2’s creative director, Bryan Intihar, in a recent interview. “1048” refers to Earth-1048, the designation for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Wolverine Cameo

Despite being set in the same universe, Marvel’s Wolverine will not feature a cameo appearance from Spider-Man. Intihar explained that this decision was made in order to give the Wolverine team the space to focus on their own game.

“There was a decision not to do it… I think for us, we wanted to let that team cook, and who knows what the future holds, but right now let’s let them do their thing,” Intihar said.

Development

Marvel’s Wolverine is currently in early development, but Insomniac Games has already revealed some details about the game. The title will be directed by Brian Horton and Cameron Christian, who were also the creative leads on Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

The game is also said to have an “emotional narrative” and “cutting-edge gameplay.”

Release Date

A release date for Marvel’s Wolverine has not yet been announced. However, it is likely that the game will be released in early 2024.

Final Thoughts

The news that Marvel’s Wolverine and Spider-Man 2 will be set in the same universe is sure to excite fans of both games. It is also interesting to note that Insomniac Games has decided to keep Wolverine out of Spider-Man 2, suggesting that they have big plans for the character in his own game.

With Marvel’s Wolverine still in early development, it is too early to say for sure what the game will be like. However, based on the limited information that is available, it is clear that Insomniac Games is aiming to create a special and memorable experience for players.
