Sony has confirmed that Marvel's Wolverine and Intergalactic won't launch this fiscal year. This year's Business Segment Presentation and Fireside Chat listed both titles under "Upcoming" for its annual tentpole single-player releases.

Sucker Punch Productions' Ghost of Yōtei and Kojima Productions' Death Stranding 2: On the Beach are listed as this year's major releases, both launching before March 31st, 2026. Granted, it doesn't outright confirm when Intergalactic or Marvel's Wolverine will launch, so even launching in fiscal year 2027 isn't a guarantee.

Marvel’s Wolverine and Intergalactic Will Launch After March 2026, Sony Confirms

Both titles are denoted as major

[clarky]

No shit. Was anyone expecting them?

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

Zero interest in Wolverine that is gonna be just a violent version of Spiderman, but the Wokegalactic can be aight. Haven't thrown this one out the balcony yet because of the main character. Gotta see how the actual gameplay and the world is.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

That's 9 months away so that's a ridiculous expectation.

Insomniac and Naughty Dog have moved away from revealing games years in advance, so I expect both to release in 2026.

 

[zaga]

I wonder if they can bring Joel back to life in Intergalactic

 

[TGO]

So basically they're gonna be PS6 launch titles too
WTF

 

[Lokaum D+]

i would never imagine a Playstation gen with so little games, Sony killed playstation this gen for me, PC + Nintendo is the way to go now on.

 

[lh032]

drop that gaas initiative then you can pump out these games faster with the extra resources.

 

[yogaflame]

Looking forward to Wolverine but not intergallactic.

 

[CityHunter1981]

I wonder what happened to Wolverine, I hope they learned some lessons from the fan reaction to the leaked material and started from scratch again.

Sony first party studio output...

A lot of 3rd party Devs have moved away from revealing games years in advance too....and are on their 3/4/5 title this gen

GTA 6 is going to suck the air out of 2026... Intergalatic could be released at the end of 26 but I feel like it's a 2027 title.

Wolverine to me feels like it's in development hell and could easily end up being cancelled.

Wolverine was announced in 2021. Naughty Dog hasn't released a game since 2020.

 

[Z O N E]

It'll be end of 2026 or early 2027, cause there's no way they release it around the GTA release date.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Nine months away. Is that enough time to strip away most if not all of the D.E.I insanity?

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Wolverine was announced in 2021. Naughty Dog hasn't released a game since 2020.

His post made no sense to me

I reread it a few times to try and make sense of it

Wolverine ll be another woke fest, Jean may even fuck him from behind

 

[Connificent]

 

[wvnative]

The leaks literally said fall 2026 was the target for wolverine and i have been scratching my head why everyone has cried "development hell" when this was easy info to find.

 

[L*][*N*K]

December 16th, 2086 is also after March 2026.

 

[yogaflame]

Since Im a very big Wolverine comics fan I remain hopeful that it will be good and will be freed from any twisted gender ideology crap due to culture change and common sense is back right now.

 

[SHAKEZ]

So basically they're gonna be PS6 launch titles too
WTF

At very least cross-gen games with paid upgrades.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Gaf rejected Wonder Woman because nobody asked for it, without seeing any gameplay.
Gaf rejected Black Panther because racist directors, without seeing any gameplay.
Gaf now rejects AAA Wolverine game, without seeing any gameplay. (2 years old leaks not withstanding from a developer with almost perfect record)

Did I miss the memo. People dislike Wolverine now ?

pray for Hércules not be in the game.

What about The Last of US Remastered Remake Remade Super Duper Edition, that doesn't count? No but your right nothing new yet.

Yep. PS4 had Uncharted 4, Uncharted Lost Legacy and TLOU Part 2. All new titles.

PS5....

 

[rkofan87]

on intergalactic yes but not wolverine.

 

[rkofan87]

this.

 

[adamsapple]

Sony first party studio output...

Too fast, slow it 75% more.

 

[wafflecioccy]

Who would have thought that PS5 would have had no games apart from Spiderman, Ratchet and Clank, a remake of Demon's Souls, Stellar Blade (1 real actual game that isn't just a sequel), and Returnal.

Astro Bot is something also I guess.

PS3 was a much, much better time.

Sony first party studio output...

 

[willothedog]

They dare not risk Marathon and Fairgame$ canibalizing potential sales, smart move.

 

[rkofan87]

dumb thing to ask but is Venom be for or after??

 

[Aenima]

I could never imagine saying this last gen for a game coming from NaughtyDog and Insomniac, but i have zero interest in both games from what i saw so far.

 

[IFireflyl]

dumb thing to ask but is Venom be for or after??

It better be after we get a spinoff Spider-Man game that features MJ as the main character or people will riot.

 

[midnightAI]

So basically they're gonna be PS6 launch titles too
WTF

PS6 is launching in 2026?

(I think we'll see both these games late 2026/early 2027 and you wont see the PS6 until 2028)

 

[wafflecioccy]

If I had to predict, Naughty Dog's game is going to have mmehhh gameplay but visually look comparable to GTA 6 in quality.

The story is going to be divisive, it'll be praised by those middle aged bald guys at Digital Foundry and Alex will nitpick and be like "but on PC it could look way way way better".

And Insomniac is just the same IPs, no real new ideas. Wolverine is probably going to be a decent action game but I've already seen enough of Wolverine over the years. I guess nice for those who wanted a videogame adaptation of it -- but I do prefer new ideas.

 

[tTHANOSs]

Venom has never been officially announced. It may or may not happen.

I know this is all subjective and personal opinion, but when was the last time ND had a game with 'meh' gameplay in your opinion?

 

[Topher]

There are a lot of things to debate about ND's games, but gameplay generally isn't one of them.

 

[Bernardougf]

Sony first party studio output...

I dont think both are next year. Maybe neither

The Last of Us 1

Venon is vaporware just like anything not announced at this point.

Moved away..? Your statements contradict, a release within 9 months is ridiculous statement, but the games releasing after 9 months would mean they were announced YEARS in advance.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Last of Us 2 was released 3.5 years after the reveal, that's what I meant by "years".

 

[Horseganador]

Quality goty games take time to develop.

 

[midnightAI]

The Last of Us 1

Ok, like I said, your opinion, but that was a game that's now 12 years old, so you could say that they have improved their gameplay since then.

But around that game you also had the Uncharted games, would you say all of those (except maybe the first one which wasnt perfect) have great gameplay?

I say this because I could see Intergalactic being an amalgamation of the Uncharted and Last of Us games, an Uncharted in space with more melee.

 

[midnightAI]

Last of Us 2 was released 3.5 years after the reveal, that's what I meant by "years".

I think the Intergalactic reveal was pushed forward a little, I think they would have preferred a reveal more around now or even the next game awards rather than the game awards last year. Just my opinion though.
