Wolverine Launches 2026

Insomniac announced Marvel's Wolverine will launch on September 15, 2026 for PS5.
Director Mike Daly said the game is a linear, high-octane single-player adventure rather than an open-world title.
Gameplay shows Logan using brutal melee, healing, scent-tracking and limited movement, with no swinging.
Each level includes optional side sections that contain collectibles and score-based challenges.
New Game Plus and higher-danger settings let players replay the campaign with greater intensity.
