Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Wolverine is due to release in three weeks, positioning it as a major September game launch ahead of an unusually crowded autumn schedule. The PlayStation-exclusive action game marks Wolverine’s return after a lengthy development period affected by a 2023 leak, and is being presented as a far more violent, mature adventure than Insomniac’s Spider-Man titles.

A new trailer outlines close-range combat based on claws, kicks, stealth takedowns, dodging and parrying, with a three-tier rage system that improves Logan’s strength, speed and resilience. Players will upgrade abilities that can alter Wolverine’s DNA, while the story follows Logan and Team X members Jean Grey, Sabretooth and Mystique as they seek kidnapped mutants linked to Bolivar Trask; locations include Shinjuku, Madripoor and the Canadian wilderness.
