Leaked info and a ransomware attack previously cast doubt on the timeline, but development seems back on track

Marvel’s Wolverine, developed by Insomniac Games, the studio behind the critically acclaimed Spider-Man titles, is reportedly slated for release in 2026. Announced in 2021, the game is set in the same universe as Insomniac’s Spider-Man series but will focus on the iconic Weapon X in a standalone story-driven experience.
Though no official release date has been confirmed, credible insider reports suggest a 2026 launch window, possibly in the latter half of the year. This update follows a major setback when a ransomware hack leaked playable builds and sensitive documents about the game, creating uncertainty around its timeline. Despite this, development appears to be progressing smoothly.
Alongside Wolverine, Insomniac is actively developing a Venom spin-off game featuring Eddie Brock as the protagonist and Cletus Kasady as the villain Carnage. This title is expected to follow Wolverine, likely launching after its completion, potentially around 2027 or 2028.
Passing critical and commercial success marked Insomniac’s recent Spider-Man 2 release in 2023, bolstering expectations for Wolverine. Fans also anticipate new trailers and official details at upcoming events such as Sony’s State of Play.
With Wolverine’s release on the horizon, 2026 promises to be an exciting year for Marvel gaming enthusiasts as Insomniac expands its Marvel Universe with fresh stories and characters.
