The Escapist recaps

  • Marvel’s Wolverine is an upcoming action-adventure game from Insomniac Games, starring the grizzled comic book character and digging deeper into the rich lore surrounding him.

No, at the time of writing, there have been no official updates about Marvel’s Wolverine prices or editions. Pre-orders are also not currently open. 

Based on Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, it’ll likely be in the realm of $70. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is a recent PS5 game by Insomniac Games, and it appears to be a similar scope, so we’re speculating that Marvel’s Wolverine will be priced similarly. This is speculation, though.

A vibrant Marvel’s Wolverine trailer was shown off in the September 2025 State of Play showcase, highlighting what fans can expect when the game drops. It featured a combination of cutscenes and gameplay, running just under two minutes in total.

Combat seems to be a core focus of the game, centering around Wolverine’s claws and impressive strength. It’s a rather gory game – as you might expect, based on the character – and combat looks both smooth and punchy.

The game world seems vibrant and detailed, with plenty of interesting areas to explore. Interestingly, marketing materials for the game mention that the player will be exploring areas like Madripoor, Canada, and Tokyo.
