From Theloadout: "It has been a while since Insomniac Games announced what will be its fifth PS5 game, Marvel’s Wolverine. But, it looks like mo-cap work for Marvel’s Wolverine is set to kick off soon, suggesting the game is now in a further stage of development at the studio.
Mike Yosh, a lead animator on the game, posted on Twitter an image of Insomniac’s mo-cap studio and the caption “so peaceful and quiet, ….it will not be like this for long”. This, heavily suggests that the game will imminently start motion-capture work if it hasn’t already, with the script, plot, and the main narrative beats all laid out."
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.
Looking forward to seeing more from this game
This is one of my most anticipated games ever. I know the next Spider-Man is going to be top self, but my anticipation for Wolverine is way bigger.
@ Storm
It will be M rated. That's one of the things I'm most excited about. If you're going to make a Wolverine game, an M rating is the way to go.
You would have to be a company and developer that makes high quality games consistently to be asked or given permission to make these exclusives again and again.
Must be something good going on over there at Sony and insomniac.
Please no purple "blood", and no super heated claws.
Give me classic mid 80s to early 90s Wolverine, and I perfer the pointy claws over the blade claws.
