Wolverine gameplay finally shown off alongside 2026 release window

Surprise!

Surprise — Insomniac’s Wolverine is still a thing, and today the studio and publisher Sony showed off gameplay alongside confirmation of a mid-2026 release date.

“Independence is often the way of Wolverine, although keen-eyed fans may have spotted some of the familiar faces he’ll encounter on his journey, like the elusive Mystique or the brutish Omega Red,” wrote Insomniac’s Aaron Jason Espinoza. “Some will fight alongside Logan against all odds and others will unleash all-out attacks on our hero, such as the Reavers, one of our enemy factions, who will keep our hero’s instincts on edge. Speaking of which, our trailer concludes with a prototype of an iconic-yet-menacing purple robot.

“In this global thriller, Wolverine’s search for answers will send him on perilous excursions to exotic locales, including the island nation of Madripoor, the frosted wilderness of Canada, and the narrow city streets of Tokyo – all potential battlegrounds for fierce, bloody, destructive action.”

“Become a living weapon. As he searches for answers about his past, Wolverine will do whatever it takes – unleashing brutal claw combat, violent rage, and relentless determination – to cut through the mystery of the man he used to be,” reads a description attached to the gameplay trailer, which can be viewed above.

We’ll have more on Wolverine as it becomes available. The title is a PS5 exclusive, planned for spring 2026 here in Australia.
