But then the big reveal at the end shocked us all.

What was surprising is that many viewers assumed this trailer was for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 at first, based on the logos for Marvel and Insomniac. This is very much in line with the version of the character from the comics, and hopefully, Insomniac has done its homework to ensure the game is authentic as possible. It depicts a trashed bar, presumably at the hands of Logan, as he sits down to enjoy a drink. Marvel’s Wolverine stole the show during the September 2021 PlayStation presentation thanks to its teaser trailer. Sony has been pushing for more of its first-party games to be ported to PC, and now that it owns Nixxes Software, we’ll probably see more of this going forward. It’s unlikely Sony will allow Insomniac to make games for a competitor’s platform, but it’s within the realm of possibility that it will come to PC. What we can almost certainly guarantee is that Marvel’s Wolverine will not come to Xbox Series X|S or Nintendo Switch, since Insomniac Games is a first-party Sony studio. At the end of the announcement trailer, a line of text read “in development for PlayStation 5,” so that’s all we know for sure. The only platform confirmed for Marvel’s Wolverine was PS5, and based on its likely release window of 2024, it probably won’t be available for PS4. The announcement trailer (more on that below) was less than a minute long and only gave us a brief glimpse at the tone and aesthetic, so there’s likely a long road ahead before it’s ready to launch. As part of a PlayStation Blog post, Insomniac Head of Franchise Strategy Ryan Schneider said “ Marvel’s Wolverine is very early in development.” Considering Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 received a release window of 2023, and this game is certainly not going to come out before it, we can assume Marvel’s Wolverine won’t be ready until at least 2024. Sadly, Marvel’s Wolverine does not have a release date just yet.
