Rumor alert: Wolverine set to claw his way into 2025, promises a darker twist than Spider-Man
Nov 20, 2023 3:05 PMInsomniac Games' anticipated Wolverine title is rumored to be slated for a 2025 release and expected to have a darker tone compared to the developer's Spider-Man series. The Wolverine video game, which was first announced during a PlayStation Showcase in 2021 along with Spider-Man 2, is also said to feature Madripoor, a fictional island commonly associated with X-Men lore and recently depicted in the Falcon and the Winter Soldier TV series.
The latest rumors suggest that the Wolverine game will offer a grittier atmosphere and could potentially carry an R-rating, indicating it is intended for players aged 17 and up in the United States. This contrasts with the more family-friendly nature of the Spider-Man games. The speculation ties in with previous comments from journalist Jeff Grubb, who hinted at a possible autumn 2024 release date, but also considered a 2025 launch as a realistic alternative.
Adding to the excitement for Marvel fans, Insomniac Games has confirmed that both the Wolverine and Spider-Man titles will exist within the same universe. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 received high praise upon its release this fall, maintaining the high standard set by its precursors but noted for making safe choices without delivering many surprises.
As players eagerly await official confirmation on Wolverine's release date, they can revel in the expanding Marvel universe crafted by Insomniac Games on PlayStation platforms. The studio continues to build upon its reputation for delivering exceptional superhero gaming experiences.

It's pretty rad to see Insomniac embracing the more mature vibes of Wolverine's world; a potential R-rated game could give us the gritty Logan experience hardcore fans have been craving. Having both Wolverine and Spider-Man in the same universe is like a fanboy dream—it's gnarly to think where they'll take this connected playground next

Looks like Insomniac is sharpening its claws for a deep dive into the darker side of Marvel with that Wolverine game, and I'm all for it if it brings the same quality as their Spidey titles. It's also pretty cool to see their Marvel universe expand – seems like we're in for an interconnected web of superhero narratives that'll keep us swinging back for more. 🎮🐺
