Wolverine Finally Gets a Release Window
Marvel’s Wolverine, the highly anticipated action adventure game from Insomniac Games, is now expected to launch in 2026 according to new reports. First revealed back in 2021 at a PlayStation Showcase, the title has been surrounded by mystery for years with little official communication from the studio. Fans may not have to wait much longer for fresh details, as insiders claim a new trailer is set to appear during Sony’s upcoming State of Play broadcast later this month.
Venom Spin Off Still Alive
Alongside Wolverine, Insomniac is also said to be working on a Venom game, a spin off from Marvel’s Spider Man 2. The project had been rumored to be shelved following leaks in 2023, but sources now confirm it remains in active development. While details are scarce, the report suggests that Eddie Brock will be the central character, much like in the comics and Sony’s Venom films. The game may also introduce Carnage in a bigger role after his brief tease in Spider Man 2 and could even feature an Anti Venom form tied to Brock.
A Darker Marvel Universe in Gaming
If the Venom project comes to fruition, it would mark a darker turn in Insomniac’s Marvel universe. Players could experience the story from the perspective of one of Spider Man’s most iconic foes, exploring the tension between symbiote powers and human struggles. The potential addition of Carnage and Anti Venom hints at a storyline packed with high stakes battles and twisted rivalries that fans of the comics will instantly recognize.
Years of Silence After the Leak
Insomniac has kept quiet on Wolverine ever since the infamous ransomware attack in 2023 that exposed concept art, gameplay footage, and storyboards. Despite those leaks, the studio has not officially confirmed any details, fueling speculation about what direction the game will take. The new trailer, if revealed at State of Play, would mark the first official update since its original cinematic teaser in 2021.
What Fans Can Expect Next
The excitement does not stop with Wolverine and Venom. Reports also suggest that Miguel O’Hara, also known as Spider Man 2099, could appear in one of Insomniac’s future projects. Whether he shows up in the Venom spin off or in a follow up to Spider Man 2 remains unclear, but his addition would further expand the studio’s Marvel game universe.
Building Hype for 2026 and Beyond
For PlayStation 5 owners and Marvel fans, 2026 is shaping up to be a landmark year. Wolverine promises a gritty solo adventure unlike anything Insomniac has done before, while the Venom spin off offers the chance to step into the shoes of a fan favorite antihero. With Spider Man 2 setting a high bar, expectations for these projects are sky high.
