Marvel’s Wolverine’s Biggest Difference From Marvel’s Spider-Man is Glaringly Obvious

by

After a long wait, Insomniac Games has finally revealed the official trailer for *Marvel’s Wolverine*, which is scheduled to release next year. The trailer confirms what fans have been hoping for: a thrilling, action-filled game. Years of speculation, rumors, and leaks have built anticipation for this title.

The Sony State of Play presentation ended with a bang today, showcasing *Marvel’s Wolverine* in action. The gameplay revealed exciting combat, familiar villains, and a look at the game’s environments, all sure to please Marvel fans. Scheduled for release in 2026, *Wolverine* aims to build on the success of Insomniac’s *Marvel’s Spider-Man* series, but promises a much grittier and more violent experience.

Mystique and Omega Red have a brief cameo in the trailer for Marvel’s Wolverine.

When it Comes to Violence, Marvel’s Wolverine Avoids Spider-Man’s PG-13 Approach

Embracing Logan’s Terrifying Powers

Wolverine is famous for his incredibly strong and sharp Adamantium claws, which make him a formidable fighter. The developers at Insomniac Games aren’t holding back on showing just how dangerous those claws are in their upcoming game. While other games, like *Marvel Rivals*, have toned down Wolverine’s power, *Marvel’s Wolverine* intends to fully capture how terrifying it is to fight against him.

Marvel’s Wolverine is confirmed for fall 2026, but an official release date has yet to be announced.

Wolverine Doesn’t Have to Adhere to Spider-Man’s Family-Friendly Tone

While *Marvel’s Spider-Man* features plenty of action and fighting, excessive gore doesn’t fit the character’s traditionally hopeful and positive nature. It would feel strange and out of place to see Spider-Man being brutally violent one moment and then going on a normal date the next.

I’ve always thought Wolverine was a really layered character. He’s usually pretty grumpy and keeps to himself, but underneath all that, he’s actually got a good heart. His temper always lands him in trouble, and honestly, the brutal violence we’re seeing in *Marvel’s Wolverine* tells me Insomniac *gets* him. They really understand what makes Logan, Logan.

Okay, the full trailer for *Marvel’s Wolverine* is finally out, and wow! If there’s one thing I took away from it, it’s that this game is going to be absolutely packed with action. I’m so hyped!

Insomniac Games and Sony announced that the next update for *Marvel’s Wolverine* is expected to arrive in Spring 2026.

Marvel’s Wolverine’s First Full-Length Trailer Packs a Big Bunch

The new trailer for *Marvel’s Wolverine* reveals a lot about the upcoming game. It seems Logan’s story will take him on a global adventure, and the game will really explore the depths of his character – which is exciting. Bringing Wolverine to life is a challenge, especially since Hugh Jackman has played him so well for over twenty years. Fans already have strong ideas about how Logan should be, so it will be fascinating to see how Liam McIntyre puts his own spin on the role.

Although Insomniac hasn’t announced a specific release date yet, the news that *Marvel’s Wolverine* is coming next year is a big positive for fans. *GTA 6* will be a major competitor, but *Marvel’s Wolverine* seems likely to continue performing well even after *GTA 6* is released, potentially remaining a strong PlayStation 5 exclusive.
