Insomniac Games' Marvel's Wolverine has received its ESRB rating ahead of its September 15, 2026 launch on PlayStation 5.

The rating confirms this will be a significantly darker take on the character than previous Marvel games.
Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight swings onto Switch 2 on 18th September 2026, bringing its signature blend of humor and action to Nintendo's console. The game's Deluxe Edition owners will also receive the Mayhem Collection DLC on the same day, featuring a new Mayhem Mode, story mission, and the Sinister Pack with new suits, Batcave items, and a Batmobile.
