Insomniac Games has announced that Marvel’s Wolverine will launch on September 15, 2026, for PS5. This release date strategically precedes Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6), scheduled for November 19, 2026. The announcement, made via social media without a trailer or dedicated conference, positions Marvel’s Wolverine to receive greater attention before the release of GTA 6. A first look at gameplay was revealed by Insomniac Games in September of last year. The game can now be added to wishlists on the PlayStation Store. Marvel’s Wolverine is expected to be a large-scale, brutal, third-person action adventure, following Logan through iconic Marvel locations such as Canada, Tokyo, and Madripoor. The game’s structure is also expected to be semi-open, similar to God of War, with areas allowing freedom for exploration, as suggested by sequences showing Wolverine navigating rooftops. Insomniac Games has promised more news in the spring. This early release date, however, has raised concerns that Marvel’s Wolverine may be rushed to market and potentially launch with bugs. While Insomniac Games has a strong track record with past Marvel titles, none have been released alongside a game as highly anticipated as GTA 6.
