Headed by Insomniac Games (the company that is also working on the Spider-Man 2 PS5 game<\/a>), the Wolverine PS5 game is certainly a cause for excitement. Check out the all-important facts below!<\/p>\n
Wolverine game release date on PS5<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The Wolverine game release date on PS5 will take place in\u00a02023<\/strong>, the developers have confirmed, but they have not specified a day or even a month at this stage. As soon as that changes, we\u2019ll be sure to update this page and let you know the more precise release date details.<\/p>\n
Which consoles and platforms can play the Wolverine game?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The Wolverine game will launch exclusively on Sony\u2019s PS5 console, and we wouldn\u2019t expect it to ever be ported onto Xbox One, Xbox Series X<\/a>\/S or Nintendo Switch<\/a>. After all, the Wolverine game is being made by Insomniac Games, a development company that Sony owns.<\/p>\n
Much like the recent Spidey games, then, don\u2019t expect to see the Wolverine game on any non-Sony consoles any time soon. Perhaps a PC release will happen eventually (much like the God of War PC release<\/a>) but that hasn\u2019t been confirmed, so don\u2019t hold your breath.<\/p>\n
Will the Wolverine game come to PS4?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
No, the Wolverine game will not come to PS4, as far as we know. This is a fully next-gen project, and so the PS5 really will be the only place to play the Wolverine game at launch. You can never rule out a downgraded port happening later on, but such a version is certainly not a priority for Sony.<\/p>
Can I pre-order the Wolverine PS5 game?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
No, you can\u2019t pre-order the Wolverine PS5 game yet. Fans are without a formal pre-order link, currently. As soon as retailers start to publish product pages, we\u2019ll be sure to update this article with all the details. The price hasn\u2019t been set in stone yet, either, so that\u2019ll be interesting to learn.<\/p>\n
Wolverine game story<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The Wolverine PS5 game story remains a bit of a mystery \u2013 the reveal trailer seems to show a somewhat washed-up Wolverine getting into a bar-based brawl with some unlucky crooks, but it doesn\u2019t give much away beyond that.<\/p>\n
Even from that clip, though, it seems like this is a grim and gritty tale involving a jaded Logan that has already had his powers for quite a long time \u2013 he already has his metal claws, so it doesn\u2019t seem likely that this will be an origin story.<\/p>\n
Perhaps, like Insomniac\u2019s Spider-Man games, the Wolverine game will kick off with our hero already fully established, before setting him off against a big new threat.<\/p>\n
And if you were wondering, we wouldn\u2019t expect the Wolverine PS5 game to have any formal links to the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies or the pre-existing X-Men films from the Fox days. Marvel Games seems to be doing its own thing, so the best you can hope for is probably a collection of skins\/outfits\/costumes that pay tribute to Wolvie\u2019s big-screen outings. Hugh Jackman will almost certainly not appear, but you might be able to dress up like him.<\/p>\n

Although the post doesn\u2019t exactly go into detail about the Wolverine PS5 gameplay, the official PlayStation Blog<\/a> describes the project like so: \u201cMarvel\u2019s Wolverine is a standalone game being directed by Brian Horton (creative director) and Cameron Christian (game director), who recently led the creative efforts on Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, a game we\u2019re extremely proud of at Insomniac.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the vein of our Spider-Man games, our goal here is to not only respect the DNA of what makes the character so popular, but also look for opportunities to make it feel fresh and truly reflect the Insomniac spirit. Even though Marvel\u2019s Wolverine is very early in development, from what I\u2019ve seen of its emotional narrative and cutting-edge gameplay (see what I did there?), the team is already creating something truly special.\u201d<\/p>\n
