Insomniac Games — the studio behind Marvel's Spider-Man — swapped web-slinging for claws on 15 September 2026 with the launch of Marvel's Wolverine on PS5. Gone is the open-world city; this time it's a tight, brutal, linear action game built entirely around one very angry Canadian mutant, and it's the first time Insomniac has let a Marvel hero actually bleed.

Reviews have landed mixed-to-strong: Game Informer gave it 8.5/10, calling it "relentless momentum," while PlayStation Universe praised the combat as "the brutal efficiency of Wolverine's destructive ferocity, captured better than any film or game before it." It's not flawless — several critics flagged repetitive encounters and a fairly predictable story — but across 112 reviews it's settled around 78 on Metacritic. Lower than Insomniac's Spider-Man games, sure, but still a genuinely good time, especially if you go in wanting a straight-up, fists (well, claws) first action game rather than another sprawling open world.
