Marvel’s Wolverine and Venom: State of Play Hints at September Reveal for Topnotch Games
Speculation continues to surround Insomniac Games’ upcoming Marvel titles, Wolverine and Venom, with official announcements potentially arriving as late as September. Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming reports that Sony may reveal details about Marvel’s Wolverine at a State of Play event in September. Henderson indicates that internal testers have praised the game, calling it “topnotch,” and Insomniac is reportedly nearing completion of a trailer. Its debut is uncertain, however, potentially appearing at the September State of Play or The Game Awards in December. Mp1st, citing anonymous sources, states that Marvel’s Wolverine is currently slated for a 2026 release. Regarding the Venom game, Mp1st’s sources confirm it remains in development, dispelling earlier rumors of cancellation that arose after a significant leak. This iteration will feature Eddie Brock as the alien symbiote’s host, distinguishing it from Spider-Man 2, where Peter Parker and Harry Osborn briefly experienced the symbiote’s power, and from Tom Hardy’s live-action film portrayal. The Venom game is also expected to include Carnage, a major antagonist in the Marvel universe and a malevolent counterpart to Venom. Carnage was previously teased in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 through Cletus Kasady’s dialogue about the “Crimson Hour” and impending chaos.
Sony State of Play September Possibly Unveils Insomniac’s Marvel Titles Progress
While Marvel’s Wolverine has been officially confirmed and is reportedly targeting a 2026 release, the Venom project has not yet received an official announcement and is still in early development. Henderson suggests that an announcement for one of Insomniac’s projects could be made during an upcoming Sony State of Play event, possibly in September or October.
