To share :

We can happily say that the schedule of Insomniac Games is loaded. The studio is to lay Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 this year, then follow up with Wolverine, a project we really don’t know much about. A few potential details have just emerged on the web, however…

Watch out darling, it’s gonna cut

Insomniac Games has always been one of Sony’s most productive studios. For this new generation, it will obviously be no exception to the rule and should give birth to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 in the coming months, in 2023, then Marvel’s Wolverine, we don’t really know when. So far, we’ve only seen a brief video teaser of the latter: enough to raise the excitement and fuel many theories, like the presence of the Hulk, for example.

Today, some potential new details are coming to us via Jeff Grubb, the ever-informed journalist and podcaster who let loose in a recent livestream. The first thing to know is that according to him, the title would be released in the fall of 2024, just one year after Peter Parker’s new adventure.

Nevertheless, internal discussions would take place and the publication could finally be set for 2025.

Fight and blood

The other important information to note, is that Marvel’s Wolverine would show some violence with an ESRTB Teen rating on the ESRB. With our equivalent, the famous PEGI, this corresponds to a +16 : the title would therefore not be intended for children, something that seems inevitable when dealing with a character as brutal and ruthless as Wolverine.

We take this opportunity to recall thatA game dedicated to the most savage of the X-Men came to us in 2009 on most platforms at the time: X-Men Origins: Wolverine. It was an adaptation of the film developed by Raven Software (Wolfenstein, the multiplayer of several Call of Duty), rather successful and taking the form of a nag… and above all ultra-violent beat them all. Hemoglobin flowed freely, heads flew and Logan did not hesitate to eviscerate his enemies: for once, the software had received a well-deserved PEGI 18. With its PEGI 16, Marvel’s Wolverine would therefore, a priori, not go as far as that in graphic barbarism.

Finally, one of the big questions about the game is its very design. Will it be an open world, like Marvel’s Spider-Man? Jeff Grubb says no: the adventure would be based on semi-open areas and a rather linear structurewhich can somehow be compared to the level design of the latest God of War.

Let’s try to remember that none of this is officiall and although Jeff Grubb has published many proven scoops in the past, tweezers are still in order pending a statement from Insomniac Games or Sony.
