Wolverine Dev Refuses To Comment On 2025 Release Date, Acknowledges "Pent-Up Excitement"

Insomniac Games is pressing ahead with its next games, but it will do so without longtime boss Ted Price, who is retiring in March. One of Insomniac's upcoming games is a new Wolverine title, and fans are very excited to see it and learn more. But it's not time for that yet.

One of the new Insomniac bosses, Chad Dezern, told Variety that the studio would "love to talk more about Wolverine," but it can't just yet. "We have to be like Logan today, and remain very stoic until it's time to pop the claws down the road," he said. "As much as we're as much as we have pent up excitement, we got to hold on to it. So that's about as much as we could say about our upcoming projects today."

Dezern also refused to confirm or deny if the new Wolverine game will release in 2025.

Bad actors hacked Insomniac's servers in 2023, revealing lots of information, images, and footage of the new Wolverine game, but Insomniac has not released anything official as of yet beyond an initial CG teaser trailer years ago.

Wolverine is Insomniac's only upcoming announced game, but the studio has at least one other game in the works. Price said in a blog post that Insomniac is in a strong position today, "with each game in development looking beautiful and playing fantastic."

Given the immense success of Insomniac's Spider-Man games, it's expected that the studio would make another Spider-Man game, though this is not confirmed yet.

The new Wolverine game was announced back in 2021, but we still don't know much about it. The last time that Wolverine had a solo game was all the way back in 2009 with X-Men Origins: Wolverine, though Wolverine has showed up in a number of other games since, including Marvel Rivals most recently.

As for the tone of the Wolverine game, Insomniac is aiming to deliver a mature experience, which is fitting considering Wolverine's nature as a walking weapon.
