Since the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man back in 2018, fans of the Insomniac Games title went on further to dream on experiences outside of the New York-based Webslinger. In that, the possibilities were virtually endless with the amount of Marvel superheroes out there essentially. But as for the main culprits that could fit the bill for a new game, there was heavy hopes that a Venom title would come. But, it was revealed on Thursday that the antagonist is to star in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 instead.
However, that is not to say that is the only Insomniac Games x Marvel announcement for today. In fact, there happened to be a second trailer that was presented at the PlayStation 5 Showcase also. While brief, Insomniac Games teased what is to be a new experience starring X-Men’s Wolverine.
You can watch the announcement trailer for Marvel’s Wolverine in the video below:
“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,” Insomniac Games’ Head of Franchise Strategy & Studio Relations Ryan Schneider told.
“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! Marvel’s Wolverine is a standalone game being directed by Brian Horton (creative director) and Cameron Christian (game director), who recently led the creative efforts on Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, a game we’re extremely proud of at Insomniac.
“In the vein of our Spider-Man games, our goal here is to not only respect the DNA of what makes the character so popular, but also look for opportunities to make it feel fresh and truly reflect the Insomniac spirit. Even though Marvel’s Wolverine is very early in development, from what I’ve seen of its emotional narrative and cutting-edge gameplay (see what I did there?), the team is already creating something truly special.”
