Wolverine Creative Director Leaves To Join Xbox’s Perfect Dark

As a long-time fan who has followed Wolverine’s journey through various mediums, I can’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia mixed with curiosity as I read about the changes happening behind the scenes of Marvel’s Wolverine game. The departure of Brian Horton, the creative director, to join Xbox and work on Perfect Dark feels like a significant shift in the Marvel universe I’ve grown to love.

It’s been said that the artistic head of Marvel’s Wolverine project is rumored to have departed the game, moving on instead to collaborate with Xbox and their revival of Perfect Dark.

As per Stephen Totilo’s Game File report, Brian Horton parted ways with Insomniac during the summer months. Currently, he holds the position of Creative Director for the game Perfect Dark, a project spearheaded by The Initiative.

A spokesperson for Xbox informed Game File that Horton is set to draw upon his extensive expertise as he contributes to the forthcoming revival of the iconic spy franchise.

According to Totilo’s report, Horton departed from Insomniac and Wolverine became part of the creative overhaul in the game. Additionally, Cameron Christian is no longer serving as the game director for Wolverine; instead, he has shifted into a new, yet undisclosed, position within the studio.

As I step into my new role as both Game Director and Creative Director for the Wolverine game, I’m thrilled to be following in the footsteps of Mike Daly and Marcus Smith – the brilliant minds behind the incredible Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Let’s bring some of that magic to our next project!

TopMob reached out to Sony for comment on the changes, but no response was received.

Over the years, there have been numerous reported problems with Perfect Dark’s development. But this past summer brought about a fresh perspective on the game during Xbox’s Summer Showcase.

With regards to Wolverine, the last glimpse fans got was through the significant Insomniac leak from 2023. The game was initially announced in 2021, and it seems that Insomniac might be preparing to reveal more about the game soon.

Regarding the launch dates, there’s no official word yet on Perfect Dark or Wolverine. However, unofficial whispers point towards a potential 2025 release for Wolverine.
