Insomniac Games is developing Marvel’s Wolverine for the PlayStation 5. The project aims to provide a “gritty, adult, and personal perspective” on the character Logan, focusing on his struggle with his mutant nature and violent instincts through an original interpretation rather than a direct adaptation of existing films or comics.

Technical and narrative details indicate the game will focus exclusively on Logan as the sole playable character, set during a period before the official formation of the X-Men. The story follows Logan as he attempts to uncover mysteries regarding his past and his adamantium-laced skeleton. Settings may include the Canadian wilderness and Madripoor.

Technical specifications for the September 15, 2026, launch include a standard performance mode offering 60 FPS with ray tracing on the base PlayStation 5 console. Gameplay features include a New Game Plus mode available at launch, optional challenges known as “Nightmare Doors,” and various collectible items used to unlock new suits.
