Marvel's Wolverine: Insomniac's Brutal Take on Logan Coming 2026

From the studio that redefined Spider-Man games comes something very different. Marvel's Wolverine is Insomniac's first mature-rated game, and everything we've seen suggests they're not holding back on Logan's violent tendencies.

RATED M FOR MATURE

A Darker Direction

While Spider-Man swings through New York with quips and acrobatics, Wolverine slashes through enemies with brutal efficiency. Insomniac has confirmed this will be their first M-rated game, featuring visceral combat that reflects Logan's savage nature.

The leaked footage showed graphic claw attacks, dismemberment, and a tone far removed from the colorful Spider-Man games. Think more "Logan" the movie than "X-Men: The Animated Series."

Combat System

Leaked details and official teases suggest a combat system built around:

• Berserker Rage: A fury mode that increases damage but affects control
• Regeneration: Health regenerates but can be overwhelmed
• Claw attacks: Light, heavy, and combo-based slashing
• Environmental kills: Use surroundings for brutal finishers
• Stealth options: Logan can be subtle when needed

Same Universe, Different Tone

Marvel's Wolverine exists in the same universe as Spider-Man, confirmed through Easter eggs in Spider-Man 2. This opens possibilities for crossovers, though Insomniac has been careful to emphasize Wolverine stands alone as its own experience.

The Story

Details are scarce, but the announcement trailer showed Logan in a bar, suggesting a more intimate, character-focused narrative. Expect exploration of Logan's past, his relationship with violence, and encounters with X-Men villains like Omega Red and Lady Deathstrike.

PS5 Exclusive

Like Spider-Man, Wolverine is a PS5 exclusive funded by Sony. No PC or Xbox versions have been announced, though Spider-Man eventually came to PC. For now, PlayStation owners have another major exclusive to look forward to.
