Insomniac’s Spider-Man Endgame: Should Wolverine Face Death?

by

Currently, Insomniac Studios is managing two significant Marvel characters in its portfolio. With the acclaimed “Marvel’s Spider-Man” series and the enigmatic “Marvel’s Wolverine,” currently under production, Insomniac is leading the way in Marvel video games at present. Following the release of “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2” in 2023, there are plans for a potential third installment that could complete a trilogy narrative.

It appears that Insomniac Games might not extend the Spider-Man series beyond a trilogy, given their current focus on Marvel’s Wolverine project. Although a third Spider-Man game hasn’t been officially announced yet, Insomniac faces a significant decision regarding Peter Parker’s future storyline. Conversely, if Insomniac chooses a specific direction for the Spider-Man narrative, it would be prudent for Marvel’s Wolverine to adopt an opposite approach when crafting Logan’s tale.

Insomniac Games Should Avoid Predictability With Spider-Man and Wolverine at All Costs

Peter Could Meet an Unfortunate End

Up until now, I’ve managed to stay relatively unscathed in the world of Marvel’s Spider-Man. There was a near miss in the sequel, but I’ve been resilient. The 160th issue of Ultimate Spider-Man comics, though, is a real game-changer for my character. It’s where the emotional demise of yours truly is portrayed. If Insomniac Games were to draw inspiration from popular comic spin-offs for the next installment, choosing Ultimate Spider-Man #160 could be daring. Killing off Peter Parker would stir controversy, but if handled correctly, it could make for a poignant moment in the series’ narrative.

It’s possible that Peter Parker might choose to retire peacefully after the conclusion of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. However, given that another game could bring him back for a brief period, a darker narrative could be explored in Marvel’s Wolverine, assuming Peter Parker manages to survive the Marvel’s Spider-Man series without significant harm.

Logan’s More Aggressive Lifestyle Could Lead to Greater Consequences

In essence, Peter Parker embodies the ideal traits of a hero, particularly regarding his character. Contrastingly, Logan represents the complexities of an anti-hero, sometimes resorting to violence against his adversaries. The upcoming Insomniac adaptation of such characters following the optimistic tone of “Marvel’s Spider-Man” promises intrigue, and it could potentially place Logan in more perilous situations. At present, there isn’t much information available about “Marvel’s Wolverine,” but if Peter manages to survive, it might be fitting for Logan to meet his end.

As a dedicated gamer, I believe keeping Peter alive aligns more with the cheerful vibe of Marvel’s Spider-Man, but it might mislead fans about Logan’s fate. It could be a heart-wrenching twist if Insomniac decides to end Logan early. This move would not only stay true to the character, but also emphasize that the developer’s Marvel universe still carries weight and consequences. Striking a balance between Peter’s survival and Logan’s potential demise in Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Wolverine would keep players guessing, even if it means the protagonist might suffer a tragic end.

Although they both inhabit the Marvel universe, it remains uncertain just how closely linked the stories of Spider-Man and Wolverine will become.

Marvel’s Wolverine is One of Gaming’s Biggest Mysteries

  • Insomniac announced the project at a 2021 PlayStation Showcase.
  • The game is expected to be a PS5 exclusive.

Four years have passed since Marvel’s Wolverine was first officially unveiled, sparking curiosity among fans about its release date. After some leaks from the developer, we got a glimpse of the game, but given Insomniac’s history, it’s possible that certain aspects of the project have been revised since then. At this moment, it’s hard to predict when Marvel’s Wolverine will be out, but it’ll certainly be intriguing to see how Insomniac balances both Peter Parker and Logan in the game.
