Based on Insomniac Games' previous confirmation that "Marvel Wolverine" will be released in the fall of 2026, Sony recently made an official endorsement during its earnings call.Sony Chief Financial Officer Lin Tao made it clear that the game will become Sony’s flagship first-party game lineup in 2026.

This statement is a direct response to the possible impact of the postponement of "Grand Theft Auto 6" to November 2026.Lin Tao pointed out that "Marvel Wolverine" will serve as the core pillar of the company's first-party publishing and bring growth momentum to the business.

The official confirmation coincides with Insomnia Group's reaffirmation of the 2026 autumn release window through social media a few days ago. This move is considered to be a centralized response to the adjustment of release plans by many manufacturers due to the market impact of "GTA6".The release window was first announced with a trailer released in September.

It is worth noting that while Insomniac is reportedly developing "Marvel Wolverine", its spin-off "Marvel's Spider-Man" series "Marvel Venom" is also in progress. Rumor has it that the game will have Carnage played by Cletus Kasady as the main villain, and the protagonist is expected to be Eddie Brock.

Marvel Games General Manager Haluk Mantes also explained the reasons for choosing Insomnia Group to develop "Marvel Wolverine".He emphasized in the interview that the studio has had a relationship with Marvel for more than ten years through multiple successful "Spider-Man" games, and the cultural genes shared by both parties made it a perfect choice.When we decided to bring Logan back in a shocking way, everyone on the team felt that Insomnia was the obvious choice. We are closely connected by our shared cultural values, and we are proud to continue this cooperation.
