A rumored insider source indicates that Marvel’s Wolverine is still scheduled for a 2026 release. Since its announcement in 2021, Sony and Insomniac Games have remained mostly silent about the game’s development, leaving fans anxious about when they might finally play. Fortunately, the wait may not be as interminable as some believed.

In terms of anticipation, Marvel’s Wolverine has generated substantial buzz. Insomniac previously struck it big with their Spider-Man series, where both Marvel’s Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 have secured places among the best-selling PlayStation titles ever. By applying a similar formula to a character as beloved as Wolverine, the studio is expected to replicate this success, provided they execute it well.

An anonymous source shared with MP1st that Insomniac aims to launch Wolverine in 2026. While many details remain unclear, this news is likely welcome for PlayStation enthusiasts. Earlier, a ransomware attack revealed that the game was originally planned for a 2026 release, though later rumors suggested it had been delayed by at least a year. However, if this latest information holds true, it appears that development may still be on track for the original timeline.
