Marvel's Wolverine needs to make sure it avoids a problem with Guardian of the Galaxy's protagonist cribbing too much from its film counterpart.
Insomniac Games: "Let's cut to the chase: Marvel's Wolverine launches September 15, 2026."
It's about to get real. Wolverine and GTA6 will skyrocket ps5 sales like crazy. I better be fighting sabretooth multiple times.
Definitely 2 huge system sellers especially with no PC release for either game PS5 pro will be the place to play.
A PlayStation Store listing in Latin America suggests Marvel’s Wolverine may launch in Q3 2026, earlier than its stated Fall release window.
Thats interesting. I think a September release is very believable. Phantom Blade Zero is September 8th so I would guess Wolverine is end of September. BlazBlue Entropy Effect X is this week. Soros is April. Crimson Dessert/Marathon is March. Halo is apparently summer. That leaves you know who in November and hopefully Tokom by December. For the down months I will be catching up on the Legend of Heros games. A truly stacked year for games.
I'm trying to get into the Legend of Heros JRPG series. There are a bunch and its a massive undertaking but I'm gonna play them in order by arc and the one avalible on PlayStation 4/5. People absolutely rave about this series so I'm gonna dive in when I have downtime from the other games this year.
Legend of Heroes is goat.
Now that the Calvard arc is wholly released I've recently started Through Daybreak. At least I believe I read this arc was 3 games. Anyway, not sure I'll be a glutton and play through all 3 in a row like I did all 4 Cold Steel games, but will definitely be wrapping these up this year. Also can't wait for Sky Chapter 2 to replay those in their updated glory. truly an epic tale and it will be a glorious yet sad day when this series finally wraps.
Honestly, as much space they can put between themselves and GTAVI will maximize their results.
After GTAVI releases, the following few months will be pretty tough for any release. That game is basically Thanos
Gaming existed before GTA and gaming shall remain after GTA. It’s not like the industry and the world will stop because a popular game dropped in November . The world will keep spinning . I can understand giving space for the more popular game but once that game is out and on the shelves it’s out and on the shelves . Call of duty nba and sports games always but that don’t keep other companies from releasing games lol
I feel you! But You know what I mean though right? Launching within the ~2-3 week timeframe as GTAVI is really unnecessary stress for your business potential lol
@Elda and @shin
No one is saying that gaming will STOP. They other companies simply don't want to be overshadowed by GTA... you know.. because money. Seems really straight forward. Would be dumb to just rail against your own interests.
For me any game that I'm interested to play that drops at the same time frame as GTA 6 I will buy. I'm quite sure there are some gamers that feel the same way I do. I just don't have any interest to play GTA 6 which I felt about their past games.
They said the same thing about Silksong. That came and went the same way every other game does. It's barely talked about now.
What’s crazy is I bought silksong this past holiday season . I’m at the last boss right now . It’s Pretty good game . I need to try the first one once I’m done .
Are you seriously comparing Silksong to Gta? Gta 6 will likely sell 3 times Silksong's total sales to date in a single day. Gta 5 is still one of the most sold games every quarter.
@MajorLazer
It wasn't me comparing them. It was the gaming community claiming it would be the only game anybody would buy or talk about and now nothing could release anywhere near it. It didn't happen. GTA will be the same.
I feel like there are only two choices for this and virtually every other projected Q4 release: move up your release date, or delay to 2027. Regardless of how you personally feel about GTA VI, it's financial malpractice to do anything except get out of its way.
their best course of action is to be the AAA game people buy and play before GTA 6. That will put them in a great position and even win some GOTY awards.
There's a lot to look forward to.
And this article didnt even mention that Wolverine isnt a charismatic, 6’3” underwear model in the comics.
Hopefully he looks like his comic counterpart, they have a chance to do this right, why just make a Hugh Jackman clone.
Needless worrying when the developer has a high pedigree proven more than once. Owned by a company that has proven itself more than once. Which is why they keep getting shots at making more.
Wolverine is a sure bet. On a console platform that has a proven track record of super hero games from Infamous, SM, SM MM, Iron Man VR, DC Online(10 years strong) created by SOE(now Daybreak Game Company after they were sold).
And a Spider-Man appearance, or any X-Men, would just be icing on the cake.
In the comment section 2 years ago, I even mentioned they should do X-Men or Fantastic Four as a Sony Marvel deal

And look-y here, a Wolverine game coming. Now just need some Reed Richards and the gang.
I'd like Cal Dodd to come back and voice Logan in the game to me he is the best voice Wolverine has ever had like Mark Hamill is the Joker, Kevin Conroy is Batman, Peter Cullen is Optimus Prime, Frank Welker is Megatron, Cal Dodd is Wolverine. I love the 90's Xmen cartoon use to be late for school all the time just to watch the cartoon in the early mornings.
“Insomniac needs to avoid making square games”
If anyone isn’t making a square game, it’s insomniac.
