Marvel’s Wolverine game from Insomniac won’t release until 2025. At least, that’s what a new report claims.

According to known leaker Daniel Richtman (need to subscribe), not only will the upcoming game not be released in 2024, but it will also feature a “darker” and “more violent” tone than past games from the studio.

As far as location goes, it’s set to be set in Madripoor, a Southeast-Asian city within the Marvel universe. The city has been long known as a “haven for pirates” after being built upon the back of a dragon.

That’s okay.

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

We already knew it would be darker.

 

[havoc00]

That’s okay.

Yea it is, but I was kinda hyped when the other news came out saying possible 2024 release

Only two years after their previous game? What hacks! They should've wasted the generation on one game like Naughty Dog!

 

[Salty Popsicle]

Anyone with half a brain could have deduced that Wolverine is not coming out within the next 12 months. When was the last time Sony announced the release date for a game less than an year before it's supposed to hit store shelves?

You mean just last year with God of War?

Spider-Man 2, the release date was announced 5 months ago

I'm scared they are going to massacre my boy.

it's fine. simmer baby. i'll be dumping 1000 hours into monster hunter 6 in 2024 anyway.

 

[CrustyBritches]

That would suck. Haven't really had much to play on my PS5 since FFXVI. Maybe I'll give Demon Souls remake a playthrough.

 

[rhodesianshepard]

Insomniac is an insanely talented studio that has seemingly quick development schedules. Let them cook!

Hopefully Insomniac use Wolverine Origins as a template when it comes to gore

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Besides Rise of Ronin what does Sony have?

 

[Dice]

That's good. I should have my new PC build by then.

We already know literally all of this.

This gen is 3 years old and they had a game that was to be revealed this year. If it wasn't it's not because of them.

Why not? The Wolverine trailer came out on September 9 2021 that was two years ago.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

Kool, and to be expected. They will be focused on spiderman DLC next year.

It's really important that they get this right.

 

[Salty Popsicle]

You mean just last year with God of War?

They had a provisional 2021 title card initially which then changed to 2022. Wolverine doesn't even have a provisional 2024 title card at the end of its trailer.

 

[Salty Popsicle]

God of War Ragnarok originally had a 2021 release date shown at the end of its reveal trailer, so try again.

Same with Spiderman 2, the reveal trailer showed 2023 in big bold lettering.

The Wolverine reveal trailer on the other hand has no provisional release year at the end, which means 2024 was always just a fever dream.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Yea it is, but I was kinda hyped when the other news came out saying possible 2024 release

With SM2 releasing in 2023, anything before 2025 is unrealistic

 

[MasterCornholio]

I think most are just excited that a competent developer is making the game. It won't destroy Insomniac if its released in 2025. Heck even Sony should be fine in 2024 without it.

You have to admit that bet thread was pretty funny.

hard to take any list with foamstars & baby steps seriously...

smh. stellar blade's got a whole lot to live up to...

 

[SlimySnake]

Good. Insomniac needs to be given more time to put these games. Spider-Man 2 felt way too unpolished at times and was clearly not ready for a 2023 release but Sony had no other first party games so insomniac had to step up.

Now it looks like they will have no big first party games two years in a row but that doesn’t mean insomniac should pay for other studios not pulling their weight or Herman’s fuck ups. Let Sony release ff7, rise of ronin and other third party games like helldivers and Herman can man up and take the blame for not delivering first psrty games.

Insomniac has earned the right to take their time to make their games. They have been Sony’s best studio this gen but they need more time than just 2 year dev cycles. Spider-Man 2 is a great fucking game that was just a few months polish from being a phenomenal one. Let’s hope wolverine is afforded that extra time.

 

[FoxMcChief]

That’s fine

 

[Robb]

Pretty much what I expected. Tbh I don’t really care if they launch it in 2026 as long as they go all in. I want to go into a bar, shred people in half and leave both the place and Wolverine painted red afterwards.

 

[Big Baller]

Wokerine gonna save Marvel

 

[demigod]

Yea it is, but I was kinda hyped when the other news came out saying possible 2024 release

This has 0 chance coming out in 2024.

 

[rofif]

We already knew it would be darker.

Probably a dark sad story playing as wolverines girlfriend who is blm activist.
There is no hope for this game. Insomniac is one of most woke studios out there. Sweet baby inc inc is deciding there

Which two years in a row? Where are you getting this from?

I love the idea that they don't have multiple teams working on multiple projects, so every game is dependent on every other game to determine release timeline... What a silly concept.

 

[Ronin_7]

I'm shocked.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Let wolverine have all the work it needs. I just want to know how stacked 2024 will be after a weak 2023

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

 

[GymWolf]

They need to give sweet baby inc. the time to work their magic on the script so it's understandable.

Um what? SM2 is very polished

I maybe had 1 or 2 hugs my whole playthrough. What would a few months have done? I’ll gladly take those rare bugs over not playing the game at all

 

[Little Chicken]

More darkness and violence from the company that specialises in darkness and violence!

 

[mrmustard]

Probably a dark sad story playing as non binary, handicapped, blue haired, pansexual asian blm activist who is in an open relationship with Wolverine.

ftfy

 

[Zathalus]

If true that basically means in 2024 Sony would have no single player first party games released for the PS5. Also just one single player game over a period of two years (2023/2024).
