PlayStation’s Next State of Play Can Write a Check the Last One Couldn’t Cash

by

As a passionate PlayStation fan, I was eagerly anticipating this week’s State of Play by Sony, especially since it promised a sneak peek into the upcoming James Bond game from IO Interactive, the creators of Hitman. However, while 007 First Light certainly sounds promising, it didn’t quite meet the expectations of many gamers like me. Despite the excitement for this new title, we were hoping for more exciting announcements. But, there might still be hope on the horizon!

007 First Light’s State of Play reception was varied, however, a fresh rumor hints at Sony potentially highlighting one of the most eagerly awaited PlayStation exclusives yet: Marvel’s Wolverine. This speculation is just a rumor until Sony confirms it, but if true, we might learn more about it in the near future or sooner still. If another State of Play event from Sony is indeed planned, it could provide the much-desired excitement that many fans have been yearning for.

The much-anticipated video game titled “007 First Light” is set to launch on March 27, 2026. You can expect to play this on the next generation consoles like Nintendo Switch 2, personal computers (PC), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Sony’s Rumored Marvel’s Wolverine State of Play Could Mark the End to Years of Silence

Developer Insomniac Has Remained Tight-Lipped

Ever since the announcement of Marvel’s Wolverine back in 2021, there’s been a noticeable hush around its development. However, an intriguing whisper suggests that the next State of Play could finally unveil this highly anticipated project. The tip-off came from a reliable insider who shared the news with Insider Gaming. While it’s essential to approach such rumors with caution, the idea stirs excitement within me as a dedicated fan.

It’s even more exciting that an anonymous source suggests that the State of Play event might occur around late September, providing Sony fans with two major updates this month. The latest showcase revealed the cast for “007 First Light,” and if “Marvel’s Wolverine” is to follow suit, it sparks curiosity about whether additional information, such as its details, will be disclosed soon.

Back in 2023, I found myself smack dab in the middle of a major data breach at Insomniac Games. Over a terabyte of their confidential info got spilled out, including early glimpses into the gameplay for Marvel’s Wolverine. It’s still fuzzy if this leak has made any substantial impact on the game’s development process.

The Wait for Marvel’s Wolverine Has Continued to Ignite Speculation

Following Insomniac’s acclaimed Marvel’s Spider-Man series, there’s a lot of excitement among superhero and comic book enthusiasts about how the studio will tackle transforming a character that is fundamentally distinct from the beloved, good-natured web-slinger. Unlike Spider-Man, who boasts an extensive array of gameplay possibilities, Wolverine will likely need to adopt a more earthbound playstyle, as he doesn’t possess the ability to swing through the skies using webs, as we’re accustomed to seeing him do in the skyscrapers of New York City.

Many gamers are excitedly waiting to find out how Insomniac will handle Wolverine’s game mechanics, and if these rumors are true, Sony State of Play might finally provide answers to this long-standing question. Whether it’s a cast announcement, gameplay demonstration, or just another teaser, it would be the biggest update the game has had in years.

A Marvel’s Wolverine State of Play Would Add to an Already-Stacked Month for Gaming

During the upcoming months, gamers have much to look forward to with the impending releases of titles such as “Hollow Knight: Silksong,” “Cronos: The New Dawn,” “Dying Light: The Beast,” and “Borderlands 4.” September, in particular, promises an exciting lineup. A sneak peek of “007 First Light” has already added to the anticipation, but the revelation of “Marvel’s Wolverine” could create quite a splash. Sony fans may want to stay vigilant for any potential announcements during State of Play events.
