Summary
- Wolverine’s release date is still a mystery, but fans can expect updates in 2025 about potential launch in that year.
- Only a few features of Wolverine have been revealed, such as it being in the same universe as Marvel’s Spider-Man.
- Insomniac Games is likely to offer significant updates on Wolverine’s gameplay and story in 2025 through trailers or announcements.
After the massive success of Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Spider-Man series, all eyes are now on its upcoming Wolverine game, which is presumably getting the developer’s full attention (or at least most of it) at the moment. Based on what has been revealed about Wolverine so far, it appears to offer a darker, grittier experience than the Marvel’s Spider-Man games, but one can only assume that it will still have the underpinnings of Insomniac’s most celebrated series, along with its own innovations and improvements to said formula.
If Insomniac’s Wolverine launches in 2025, it’s going to be a big year for the developer, as well as fans of the beloved character and the Marvel’s Spider-Man series. However, even if Wolverine decides to remain in development throughout the year, fans can likely still expect something big from the game at some point in 2025.

Wolverine’s Potential Release Window and Confirmed Features
Wolverine’s Release Window Has Yet to Be Announced
While it would be ideal for Wolverine to launch in 2025, that may not happen. Currently, Wolverine‘s release date remains under wraps, with no confirmation or even hints about it from Insomniac. That being said, there is still reason to believe Wolverine could launch sometime in 2025, even though it might not be what is best for the game in the long run. If Wolverine is released in 2025, it’s more likely to happen sometime between September and November of this year, just as all three Marvel’s Spider-Man games did in their own release years. However, that is purely speculation and should be taken with a grain of salt.
A Small Portion of Wolverine’s Features Has Been Revealed
While there have supposedly been leaks of Wolverine‘s gameplay, very little about the game has been outright revealed by Insomniac. It has been confirmed that Wolverine is set in the same universe as Marvel’s Spider-Man, so it’s possible players could see their favorite web-slinging superheroes in action at some point during Wolverine‘s story. It hasn’t been confirmed, but Wolverine‘s story may explore significant locations from the character’s lore, including Madripoor and Japan. If nothing else, Wolverine is known for having one of the most complex character arcs in Marvel history, and Insomniac’s Wolverine game is likely to shine a light on that.
Fans Can Expect an Update on Wolverine in 2025
At the very least, fans can expect a formal update from Insomniac Games on Wolverine in 2025, but whether that comes in the form of another trailer or a simple announcement from the developer remains to be seen. It’s possible that Wolverine could receive an extensive reveal at some point during a PlayStation State of Play showcase in 2025, but it’s likely to do whatever it takes to avoid Ghost of Yotei‘s shadow, which has already been confirmed for release this year. Any trailers released for Wolverine could reveal more about its story, but after Marvel’s Spider-Man‘s gameplay has become more than familiar at this point, it can only be assumed that fans are awaiting an official reveal of the unique gameplay Wolverine is likely to offer.
As anticipation continues to build around Insomniac Games’ Wolverine, 2025 may very well be a massive year for both the developer and fans of the developer’s recent work. Thanks to its fresh premise, Wolverine has undeniable potential to elevate the gameplay experience offered by Marvel’s Spider-Man. While there are still plenty of questions surrounding its release timing and gameplay, Insomniac’s track record evokes a confidence that the project will be worth the wait. For now, fans can likely look forward to further updates on Wolverine in 2025, whatever form those updates take.
Marvel’s Wolverine is a third-person action game from Insomniac Games that is set in the same universe as the studio’s Spider-Man titles.
