Single-player action-adventure game from Insomniac Games featuring an original story centered on Logan and his fight for mutant survival.
Marvel's Wolverine is out September 15 on PS5, bringing Insomniac into one of Marvel's most heavily adapted characters. The studio has gone for the obvious blood and brutality, but it is also assembling its own Logan from a much larger history.
Wolverine has spent decades insisting that he works better alone. Insomniac appears to have taken that as a challenge. Its launch trailer surrounds Logan with Jean Grey, Team X, old enemies and pieces of a past he would probably prefer to leave buried.
Adapting Wolverine in 2026 means confronting an unusual problem: for a large part of the audience, the character already has Hugh Jackman's face and voice. Insomniac is deliberately moving elsewhere, not by retelling how Wolverine was created, but by presenting an established Logan whose missing memories, anger and relationships with other mutants form the center of the story.
Marvel's Wolverine has a real Logan, anchored by Liam McIntyre and relationships that give his brutality meaning. What it has less consistently is a great Wolverine story: the central conspiracy is familiar and the future franchise architecture is occasionally too visible. The character makes a strong case for returning even when the plot does not.
