Sharpen those claws and get your healing factor ready, because the wait is almost over. After what feels like an eternity of rumors and leaked footage, Insomniac Games has finally stopped playing hard to get and dropped the bombshell we’ve all been waiting for. Marvel’s Wolverine officially has a release date, and it’s hitting your PlayStation 5 on September 15, 2026.
The latest trailer gives us a much better look at the visceral combat and the darker, more mature tone that Insomniac is going for. This isn’t the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man swinging through sunny Manhattan; this is Logan at his most raw and lethal. We saw him tearing through a bar in Madripoor and stalking through the frozen Canadian wilderness, looking every bit like the “living weapon” he was built to be. The level of detail in his regenerative healing is frankly insane, with wounds closing in real-time as he tanks through waves of enemies like the Reavers.
One of the biggest talking points from the recent reveal is the confirmation of Liam McIntyre as the voice of Wolverine. He sounds incredible, bringing a gravelly, exhausted weight to a man who’s clearly seen too much. The story is being billed as a global thriller, taking our favorite mutant from the neon streets of Tokyo to some very suspicious-looking research labs. We even caught a glimpse of Omega Red and a very sneaky-looking Mystique, suggesting that the rogue’s gallery for this game is going to be top-tier.
The September release is a genius move by Sony, giving us a solid two-month window to master our berserker rage before the absolute chaos of GTA VI arrives in November. Insomniac has already proven they can handle a Marvel heavy-hitter, but seeing them lean into a bloody, R-rated experience is exactly what fans have been asking for since the game was first teased back in 2021. If the trailer’s fluid combat and cinematic set pieces are anything to go by, this is going to be the definitive Wolverine experience we’ve been waiting for since the PS2 days.
