The developer behind Marvel’s Spider-Man is apparently ‘gearing up’ to show off its Wolverine game, with some signs pointing to this week.

Insomniac originally announced Marvel’s Wolverine back in September 2021 with a teaser trailer, but we’ve heard nothing about the project since.

Beyond the initial reveal, the only information about the title has come via leaks and last year’s hacking incident, where stolen documents claimed it was slated for release in 2026 following a Venom half-sequel for Spider-Man 2 next year.

While it’s unclear if this release schedule was authentic or if it has changed since, it seems Insomniac is planning to show off Wolverine in some capacity before the end of the year.

According to video game insider and dataminer Kurakasis, Sony is ‘gearing up to show off some new stuff from Marvel’s Wolverine’, speculating it’ll be at some point this year either at The Game Awards or a ‘super-secret event’.

While The Game Awards in December would be the obvious contender, a Marvel Games panel at New York Comic-Con is set to take place later today at 4.45pm ET, which is 9.45pm BST in the UK.

Acknowledging the panel at New York Comic-Con, Kurakasis, who has a solid track record for gaming leaks, added: ‘Yeah, I think we should keep that event in mind too.’

Insomniac attended last year’s New York Comic-Con, where it debuted several new suits for Spider-Man 2 before it launched later that month, so it’s entirely possible they’ll show up again this year.

The Marvel Games panel is set to last for 30 minutes, but there’s a wealth of other Marvel games beyond Wolverine in development. Marvel Rivals will likely be shown in some capacity before it launches on December 6, but we also know about Marvel’s Blade, an Iron Man game from EA, a standalone Black Panther title, and Marvel 1943: Rise Of Hydra.

We’ve known about Marvel’s Wolverine longer than the majority of those games though, so it’s likely much further along in development.

If it doesn’t appear at Comic-Con, we’ll likely see more from Wolverine at The Game Awards on December 12, unless Sony decides to host a State Of Play before then. Over the past couple of years, however, Sony hasn’t held any showcase after September, so Geoff Keighley’s bash is probably a safer bet.

Wolverine is set to be Insomniac’s first Marvel game outside of Spider-Man, and will take place in the same universe.
