Marvel's Wolverine Teaser Revealed, Being Developed by Insomniac

During Sony's PlayStation Showcase, Marvel's Wolverine was announced with a brief teaser!

[darthv72]

Damn... this and Venom coming in SM2... 2023 is gonna be lit AF!

[RaidenBlack]

These and KOTORR were my favorite teasers of the presentation.

[RaiderNation]

Dude, Ragnarok???

[RaidenBlack]

"Teasers", Raider ... teasers.
Ragnarok was full on mini Deep dive.

[VincentVanBro]

Yeah KOTORR is probably tied for my favorite announcement of the show. Can you imagine what those planets are going to look like on next gen? I was going to list the planets I was most excited about but damn it's just too long lol

[bouzebbal]

Insomniac are incredible.. Best investment in history of gaming

[Traecy]

Absolutely.

[ABizzel1]

Agreed, Sony should be put in jail for how cheap they bought them and the quality and quantity of AAA games they're producing.

I've said this plenty of times. Sony needs to give Marvel the Spider-Man film licenses for a 10 year contract, at the expense that they get exclusive rights to making Marvel games. It would suck for Xbox only player, but they are killing it with these Marvel games.

[Darkborn]

I feel like insomniac equals 4 or 5 studios themselves lol.

EDIT* they released spiderman 2018 plus 3 DLC's shortly after, spiderman remastered in 2020 alongside miles morales, just released ratchet and clank rift apart and now have spiderman 2 and wolverine in the oven. Plus they helped a few other playstation studios with assets along the way.

[Atticus_finch]

Insomniac are all quantity and quality. Its hard to believe how many games they're releasing .

[Lightning77]

So I guess we're gonna gloss over the fact the game won't be releasing AFTER Spider-Man 2 in 2023? In could be in 24 or 25 when it releases. Great announcements. I thought we all agreed we don't like to wait or when publishers show CGI trailers?

[Darkborn]

@Lightning I wouldn't doubt Insomniac at this point. I didn't know they had 8,000 employees or something.

[EvertonFC]

I'm guessing Sony will get all there 1st party studios on par with insomniac over the nxt 5 years or so content wise all working on multiple projects

[KillBill]

Insomniac would not even be mentioned without the availability of the licenses given to them to make by Sony. Great team but hardly the best investment of all time.

[SullysCigar]

^ oh come off it @KillBill. There have been bad Spiderman games in the past. It's not the franchise that makes a game great, it's the developer. Take The Avengers, for example...

If Insomniac hadn't made Spiderman, they'd have made something else of amazing quality - just like they did with the Resistance games and Ratchet and Clank - and everybody would be talking just as favourably of their talents and what a steal their purchase by Sony was.

[neutralgamer1992]

Sony knows what they are doing. This is so smart

[Lightning77]

Not doubting anything. There's no doubting Insomniac at this point in their career and reputation that's just goofy. I'm talkin about how these games are far out and showed CG how we all agreed industry wide as a collective we don't like CG and far release dates.

[Bathyj]

The fact you think it's CGI is such a huge compliment to them.

[Rude-ro]

@lightning77

You could not be further from the truth..

The last decade while Microsoft had nothing at all.. lil Phil made the comment “we do not like to show off anything until it is close to release”.. so the crows cried this statement for a while… until Microsoft bought a studio and was releasing a new console and they had to tease games that are far off from release with hype cgi trailers.

A little history lesson for ya there.

[abstractel]

I know it was a super short tease but I hope Wolverine is a 2022 game and not a 2023-24. I don't see Insomniac releasing Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine in the same year. I know it's unlikely it's a 2022 game but who knows.

What I do know is that I'm really happy Insomniac are doing Wolverine. Only other Sony studio I'd prefer to do it would be Suckerpunch but hopefully they are working on GoT 2.

[gamer7804]

I doubt this will come in 2023. Probably 2024. At least by then hopefully Anyone who wants a next gen console by then willl have one. Excited to see some gameplay later

[KillBill]

Don't expect Wolverine before 2024. Spider-man 2 is easier to see in 2023 as it is building off the Spider-man build already in use for the previous 2 titles.

[AspiringProGenji]

Insomniac is on Fire Oh my god!!!

[ClayRules2012]

They truly are! I can’t help but become more and more impressed with Insomniac studio as time goes by. They genuinely produce more games in a timely and with not only visual quality that’s top notch (R&C Rift Apart is a literal stunner in game and in Photo mode) looking at even the smallest of details on display, like the bugs that have fully detailed bodies🤯😂 and just fantastic animations!

They’re just outdoing themselves all the more, and I couldn’t be more proud of them. I say that now, and than when Wolverine and Spiderman 2 comes out (not to oversell those games like they’ll be the greatest games ever) but I have no doubt they’ll both be wonderful and really great in their own right, and in that alone, they’ll solidify themselves all the more as top tier within the gaming industry, I mean, they are, (I know so many already respect them) but I see so many more taking notice of them and their amazing talent over the last several years, which is great to see. Naughty Dog, Rockstar are leaders in many areas, no doubt. Insomniac though, what they keep doing with their games, in the timing they do it, are letting their work speak for itself!!!

[Eonjay]

Insomniac was the best purchase of any platform holder period.

[ClayRules2012]

I agree. I’m so glad Insomniac was willing to join Sony “Exclusively” and be apart of the PlayStation family, completely, and with that now their creative juices can continue to freely flow, develop and thrive!

[NeoGamer232]

In Insomniac we trust!

[lodossrage]

The fact that they got two of marvel's most popular characters to playstation like this is a pretty big deal.

People were angry enough as it is about Spiderman. Now that they have Wolverine too, you can only imagine the anger. If they somehow manage to get Deadpool on this the internet will lose their collective mind.

[JEECE]

Lol, because everyone was so happy with Marvel's most recent multiplatform effort, right?

[lodossrage]

Yeah but that wasn't developed by Insomniac now was it?

[Mr_cheese]

Jeeeeeze..

Jeece*

[JEECE]

Haha I didn't realize so many people on here liked The Avengers game, I assumed we all agreed it was not anywhere close to the quality of Spiderman, but I guess you never know on here.

[Atticus_finch]

People are down voting you because Sony isnt Square inex.

[JEECE]

@Atticus_finch

Yeah somehow people are taking my criticism of The Avengers as a slam on Sony, somehow. My whole point is that the people mad about Sony getting exclusives should realize that the games wouldn't be half as good if they were multiplatform. So apparently a lot of people are down voting me because they share the exact same opinion, which is weird.

[SullysCigar]

I think the disagrees are indicating more that people trust Insomniac to do right with Marvel franchises, not that 'Marvel' automatically ensures a quality gaming product.

After the Spidermans, you've got to expect Wolverine + Insomniac = Amazing!

[JEECE]

@SullysCigar

Yeah, which is precisely the point I was making. We've seen the difference in quality between Insomniac making a PlayStation exclusive Marvel game and when Marvel gave the license to Square Enix to make a multiplat.

[darthv72]

I cant say anything about the 'recent' multiplat marvel game (as I have not played it) but i can speak to previous multiplat marvel games. including spiderman which were generally really good when they were based on the movies of the same name. Same with other marvel games like deadpool and even some of the iterations of wolverine.

now im sure you werent looking for a real answer to your question but there have been some good multiplat games and others that were made exclusive have also had their ups and downs. it really comes down to the IP in question and the company tasked with making it. It so happens IG is really good at what they do so they will put their best effort forward with the IP.

[lodossrage]

@Jeece

after re reading your comment I get what you're trying to say. I actually misunderstood. It came off as a knock at first.

Unfortunately, that's the sad thing about the internet. Wording can be determined contrary to what the author tries to convey.

In any case, no excuses, my mistake

[Sitdown]

Please let them get Deadpool.

[ClayRules2012]

YES, please. Although I’d love a Doctor Strange game, just throwing that out there haha.

[Lionsguard]

@ClayRules2012 Oh god yes, how there isn't already a Doctor Strange game is nuts, he's such a video game character with all his abilities and artifacts.

[Sitdown]

Now that I think about it, let them get Afro Samurai!

[outsider1624]

Iron Man too..heck we should throw Black Panther as well..

[JEECE]

No, but why would Insomniac make a multiplatform game? I mean, I see what you mean that people not on Playstation will be jealous of these games, but they are being made by a Sony-owned studio, so if the games were multiplatform, they wouldn't be the same games, and we've seen what happens when Marvel tries to make a multiplatform game to please everyone.

[lodossrage]

Except marvel isn't the one trying to make the multiplatform games.

Square Enix made avengers the same way Sony are making Spider-man/Wolverine. They're only licensing IP.

And just because Square Enix gave people an Avengers GAAS that nobody wanted when they found it it was GAAS doesn't mean we should look at Insomniac's efforts in a negative light

[kneon]

I said that this might happen after they did so well with Spiderman. If this game turns out to be as successful then we'll continue to see more Marvel games as Playstation exclusives.

[Extermin8or3_]

Daredevil would be a good fit for insomniac too I think.

[JEECE]

"And just because Square Enix gave people an Avengers GAAS that nobody wanted when they found it it was GAAS doesn't mean we should look at Insomniac's efforts in a negative light."

In no world am I looking at Insomniac's efforts in a negative light. I'm saying that people on other platforms who are upset need to realize that the only way the Spiderman (and now Wolverine) games are going to be a high level of quality is by being PlayStation exclusive. So the jealous people are basically saying they would prefer everyone to have a mediocre Wolverine game than for Playstation owners to have a great one.

I'm literally making the opposite point of what you think I'm making.

[SullysCigar]

In that case, I'm also guilty of misunderstanding your original point, but if it helps, I think I get it now lol

[CosmicTurtle]

But you get high quality multi platform games? It makes no sense to talk in absolutes. It depends on the intention and quality of the studio. Insomniac would still be making a good game if it were multi platform, because they know what they’re doing. Were the first two Arkham games not good? Or the recent Star Wars game?

[darthv72]

There have been really good multiplat licensed games and really bad exclusive licensed games. Just because something is exclusive is not an automatic win. I get your point you think you are making but you are going about it the wrong way. So its best to just drop the deflection about those who could miss out and just focus on the studio who is making it the best they can.

I would go on a limb here and say there is a greater chance that xbox owners will also have ps (so they wont miss out) unlike ps owners who will shun xb out of spite.

[ShadowWolf712]

Forget Deadpool, gimme Daredevil, Heroes for Hire, Doctor Strange, Jessica Jones.

Lemme get a Defenders game. lol

[porkChop]

I don't really mind if PlayStation gets some exclusive Marvel games. What I *do* mind is that Square Enix are the only other publisher making Marvel games and they haven't done a good job.

I think Marvel should get more publishers on board. And rather than the typical heroes, lets give some of the other characters their own games. Cable, Husk, Blade, Sentry, etc.

[ClayRules2012]

Lionsguard

Haha, right! How he isn’t being packaged as a game (with the most respect and care) well that we know of haha, is beyond me. I was watching that “Forspoken” trailer and thought “Doctor Strange” would work so well in a game, and so on, when it showed her casting spells and what looked like shields when getting attacked. Ugh, we can only hope. But I want it to be a Sony studio that handles it, I won’t lie lol.

[P_Bomb]

“The fact that they got two of marvel's most popular characters to playstation…”

Three if you count Iron Man PSVR. I still have that one in my backlog, but I’ll be done by the time it’s time to ‘snikt’!

[-Foxtrot]

I was expecting Punisher at first but damn...even better

[ClayRules2012]

Haha, even better, I agree.

[UltraNova]

When that post got hit by lightning I immediately thought it was Infamous!

[RaidenBlack]

Yeah ... Punisher's also another good proposition but it'll mostly involve more shooting.
It'll be MaxPayne-esque with Marvel sauce. Naughty Dog territory maybe?
Wolverine on the other hand .... Bravo!
I liked Raven's attempt at it long back, when Activision allowed them to make their own games.

[Darkborn]

Could still happen, naughty dog publicly asked for it and that was before the success of miles morales. I'm sure marvel is pleased with sales atm.

[Atticus_finch]

I think it will happen. And it would without a doubt be extremely good.

[Darkborn]

Lol I get down votes for saying factually what happened. OK xbots.

[ClayRules2012]

@RaidenBlack
Yeah, Naughty Dog territory I could see!

Yeah, that attempt by Raven back than wasn’t bad, I liked it. Insomniac now, knowing how they’ve matured, strengthened as a team and in their art of developing across the board of their games, I can only imagine how this Wolverine game will turn out😅😊

UltraNova

That’s awesome, great choices! For me it was Forspoken, God of War (my personal favorite) Spiderman 2 and Wolverine. I’m thrilled for Alan Wake as well!

[ClayRules2012]

@UltraNova

That would’ve been awesome, no lie haha. Which game showing was your personal favorite?

[UltraNova]

It's gotta be GoW, followed by KotOR, Forspoken and Wolverine.

What was yours?

[Father__Merrin]

The wolverine game will be system seller

[ClayRules2012]

And it’ll be great😄

[Atticus_finch]

I'm sold.

[LG_Fox_Brazil]

How did this game didn't get leaked before I have no idea, but good Lord, it made me jump out of my chair when the claws appeared and the game's name showed up. Amazing news!

[Nitrowolf2]

I mean there was a leak that Sony was making another Marvel game but that was it.

Holy shit though, didn't expect this. I hope it's a hard M

[Majin-vegeta]

Honestly I thought it was a night crawler game

[victorMaje]

I was looking at the screen saying "who the hell is that dude...ho ho ho hoo holy shit!"

[LG_Fox_Brazil]

That was exactly how I reacted, this game came out of nowhere and I am so freaking hyped now

[GhostofHorizon]

How is Insomniac pushing all these games out?

Excited, but would have loved to see more.

[Lightning77]

It's possible that they could be spreading themselves too thin, I hope now but they've been firing off on all cylinders lately.

[Sunny_D]

Nah they are making multiple teams and I think have been on a hiring spree.

[foker]

2023 one possibly later,.. ? Does not seam that thin,.. I mean they are really productive compared to others but they've always been,.. We got like 3 Resistance games, 4 Ratchet games some Multiplat shite during PS3 era,.. Releasing 2-3 games a year for them is kinda a norm.

[SonyStyled]

Doesn’t insomniac have 2 studios? The California one and the other in Colorado?

EDIT: Their second studio is in South Carolina. I recall insomniac SC doing mobile games and a ratchet title (All 4 One?) while the California studio was working on Fuse with EA at the time. Either way insomniac has over 275 employees to put games out across the two studios

[thesoftware730]

Wow, cant wait to see gameplay.

We been needed a new Wolverine game.

Someone need to make a new X-Men game as well. Dopest comic team in the 90s.

[mkis007]

I knew the moment they showed his knuckles.

[boing1]

You're amazing.

[mkis007]

Dont be facetious, Just hyped.

[Atticus_finch]

Me too lol. This game is a pretty big deal since it's being made by Insomniac.

[VersusDMC]

Cowboy hat and flannel shirt was the give away for me.

[mkis007]

It had me going hmmm no way but the knuckles made it a sure thing. Just weird to focus on bloody knuckles in a marvel trailer.

[UltraNova]

I knew as soon as I saw the trashed bar and a burly dude sitting at the bar like nothing happened. It was very similar to that bar scene in one of the x-men or Wolverine movies.

[EverydayJoe]

I had the same train of thought. Very similar to that scene.

[Sitdown]

Exactly

[Relientk77]

Hell yes! Wow, though Insomniac Games are just killing it. It's insane

[Snakeeater25]

This will be really cool but 2024 is still sooo far away

[Majin-vegeta]

I hope they pick Blade up sooner or later

[Stanjara]

Insane!

[outsider1624]

Alright...i wanna know what Insomniac's secret is. What kind of supernatural talent did they hire there?
MM, R&C, Spiderman2 and now Wolverine???

Holy Crap!!!!

[SonyStyled]

Having a studio on the Atlantic coast and a studio on the Pacific coast with the company having 275+ employees isn’t exactly a secret

[BioShockGX]

That's cool but where is the Resistance remaster 😩😩

[FunAndGun]

I think Insomniac might be done with Resistance. They got Spidey and Wolverine, no doubt other Marvel projects brewing at this point. I don't see Sony putting Insomniac on Resistance anytime soon. I LOVE Resistance as well. Maybe another studio will do this hopefully.

[Noskypeno]

I can understand exclusivity for spiderman since Sony owns him, but I don't think they own wolverine, I'll be having both consoles but it sucks for a franchise that was never exclusive to suddenly be exclusive. At least with Bethesda games it's guaranteed to be on PC day one.

[FunAndGun]

They don't own Wolverine, but they own the studio making the Wolverine game.

[Abnor_Mal]

What franchise? Wolverine was never a franchise, there was one game on all systems, thats all. It's not even the same developers making this game that made the PS360 game.

Also I'm pretty sure with Sonys position about games going to PC it will eventually will.

I like how you excuse Bethesda/Microsoft for making many franchises that were never exclusive suddenly exclusive, but not with Sony for a character without a franchise.

Oh, I get it. That day one PC release huh.

[BlaqMagiq1]

Marvel is giving Insomniac the rights to make these games. Not the same way you think it is.

[mkis007]

Nah this makes more sense than bethesda being taken off ps consoles. It didn't already exist as a game or franchise before.

[sactownlawyer916]

Sony just destroyed MS with this show. Smh

[ClayRules2012]

I agree. I was pleased to see Alan Wake. Been wanting to play that forever. I’m glad that’ll be possible now.

[mkis007]

This actually makes the 3rd marvel exclusive after Iron Man VR.

[VerminSC]

I’ve ALWAYS wanted a good Wolverine game. I am SUPER excited!

[darkrider]

Insomniac rules. Right now they are on top

[jbull]

Sony have won this Gen already.

[ECHOINFINITY]

This is pretty cool, but I personally was hoping insomniac had a Resistance game in the works. Maybe some day lol

[brando008]

If anyone can do it justice, you know it's Insomniac!

[SinisterKieran]

can't wait to see what kinda game it'll be, linear or open world? super interested.

[GamingSinceForever]

This one stole the show for me. Talk about being unexpected.

[BlaqMagiq1]

Insomniac don't miss! First Spider-Man now Wolverine!?

I just need them to do Hulk and I will be complete.

[jBlakeeper]

HFW- 2/18/22
GT7- 3/4/22
Forspoken- Q2 2022
Ghostwire Tokyo- Q2/Q3 2022
GOWR- Q3/Q4 2022
SM2- 2023
Wolverine- 2024
KOTOR- 2023/2024
Pragmata- 2023
FF 16- ???
Sony has a pretty stacked release calendar for the next couple of years with five of these games being timed exclusives. Forspoken will be exclusive for at least two years. This is also barring no surprises as I’m sure there is more for the 2023/2024 release years.

[VersusDMC]

That is a killer list

But switch out Pragmata(multiplatform) with FF7R2 and you're good.

[Rimeskeem]

I am starting to believe that Insomniac games made their name for a reason. I really hope they are healthy people lol

[Gaming4Life1981]

Can't wait to learn more about this.

[chiefJohn117]

Gotta see gameplay. It's made by insomniac so it's gotta be good. Insomniac was a steal for Sony

[FallenAngel1984]

How many people are still gonna say movie rights have anything to do with original videogame adaptations

[mkis007]

I did start to think if sony asked for this in the 3rd movie mcu negotiations. But that is just baseless conjecture oncmy part. It's just as likely Marvel liked spiderman and rewarded them.

[FallenAngel1984]

There’s nothing to speculate when Insomniac’s Ryan Schneider already stated how this game came about.

“Back when we were working on Marvel’s Spider-Man, there would be times where all of us—Insomniac, Sony Interactive Entertainment, and Marvel—would brainstorm together about the future beyond the web-slinger. And even in those early discussions, Wolverine continually came up as the character we’d be really stoked to work on together. Fast-forward a couple years and we’re suddenly standing in front of Sony Interactive Entertainment and Marvel formally pitching a PlayStation 5 game starring the adamantium-clawed Mutant! (Since you just saw the announce teaser, we can confirm that the pitch seemed to go pretty well.)

So many of the Insomniac team are such huge fans of the character, and one of the key elements that drew us to him is surprisingly not that different from Spider-Man: Both heroes feel deeply compelled to defend people who are less able to do so.“

Wolverine got a game for the same reason Spider-Man did, because Insomniac were huge fans of the character

[Bronbron92]

Yeh soooooo PlayStation definitely delivered for this event granted some games weren’t given slotted dates but damn GOW looked amazing! Not only was Spider-Man 2 announced fucking WOLVERINE!!! And KOTOR!!!!!! And that was only a handful of the games in the works I wonder what else is behind worked up to be announced hopefully soon

[Ninver]

Wow my fav marvel character getting a stand alone game by one of favorite developers. Sony buying Insomniac was the best investment.

This is how you utilize your investment right out of the gate!

[OG_TK_Cole]

Damn!! is all i can say.

[Flakegriffin]

Insomniac are legends.

[talocaca]

Insomniac is on FIRE! I wonder if this will release before or after Spiderman 2 🤔

[Riftrider]

Hugh Jackman has said he is going to reprise his role as Wolverine. Never said a movie. Could be this!

[GoodGuy09]

Insomniac is insane. Sony did good to buy them. I also hope this is sorta a beginning of a marvel video game universe (screw the square enix avengers).

[VincentVanBro]

Wolverine and Spider-man 2 have my jimmies rustled. Wolverine specifically is the most exciting game announcement I've seen in a long time.

[Extermin8or3_]

I know insomniac has 2 or 3 studios effectively but how many teams do they have now? Lol its crazy.

[PCgamer98]

Insomniac always delivers with superhero games so I'm looking forward to this. Heck might be even a reason for me to finally buy a ps5.

[BoneMagnus]

I don’t see a Wolverine game being that fun - as opposed to a Spider Man game - which has the web swinging and slinging and tons of moves.

I love Wolverine as a character - but he is just a brawler. I guess there will be different moves…

[Silly gameAr]

Ever played Xmen Origins Wolverine? That's one of the best Marvel games made, in my opinion. I expect Insomniac to top that, and I loved that game.

[BoneMagnus]

I haven’t; I’ll look into it - thanks for mentioning it. I do have faith in Insomniac, so there’s a fairly good chance I’ll end up wanting to play their Wolvie game.

[whiteswanbritts]

Never bring a knife to a clawfight! I can't wait to see how Insomniac pushes the envelope with this one.

[Neonridr]

if they can do even half as good a job as they did with Spiderman / MM, then I'm not worried at all.

[Unknown_Gamer5794]

Wow, first Spider-Man and now Wolverine. I'd feel a bit bad for Xbox if I wasn't too busy being hyped.

[andron]

Hell yeah. The last Wolverine game was good, but I'm sure Insomniac can do much better...
