Marvel's Wolverine review embargo set for September 10

Sony has announced the review embargo for Marvel's Wolverine, developed by Insomniac Games. International critical reviews are scheduled to be released on September 10, 2026, at 17:00 CET, several days ahead of the game's official launch on September 16, 2026. The title is a third-person action game for PlayStation 5 that features a linear adventure rather than an open-world structure.

Following the release of new promotional materials on August 17, 2026, the project has faced significant online backlash. Users on social media platforms, particularly X, have criticized the game's perceived linear level design and compared its combat and movement mechanics to older titles from the early 2000s.

Insomniac Games executive James Stevenson described the intensity of the digital hostility as a brutal and continuous onslaught, noting that such behavior impacts the development team. The studio is reportedly re-evaluating its developers' presence on social media in response to this toxicity.
