Marvel’s Wolverine Debuts as Insomniac’s PS5-Only Logan Story

Sony Interactive Entertainment released Marvel’s Wolverine worldwide on 2026년 9월 15일, delivering an Insomniac Games action-adventure centered on Logan exclusively on PlayStation 5. Developed in collaboration with Marvel Games, the game is available in a $69.99 Standard Edition and a $79.99 Digital Deluxe Edition.

The release describes the game’s story as intense and emotional, with Logan hunting for the truth about his own history. According to the official PlayStation game page, Marvel’s Wolverine is a single-player, narrative-driven action-adventure game that does not take place in an open world. It was made specifically for PlayStation 5 and will not be available on PlayStation 4.

An Original Wolverine Story

The game page sets up the premise: Logan walked out on his team three years earlier, then rejoined the mutant task force Team X in its darkest hour. Bolivar Trask, portrayed as fanatically convinced of human superiority, is kidnapping mutants, and Wolverine’s fight to save them spans Canada, Japan, and the Marvel island nation of Madripoor.

The release names Jean Grey, Sabretooth, and Bolivar Trask among the allies and enemies appearing in the game. The game page adds enemies ranging from Trask’s guns-for-hire Reavers to the villain Omega Red, and it describes set pieces across the frosted Canadian wilderness, the narrow streets of Tokyo, and Madripoor’s Hightown and Lowtown districts.

Liam McIntyre plays James “Logan” Howlett and narrated the game’s Features Trailer, according to the PlayStation Blog listing carried on the game page.

Combat, PS5 Features, and Accessibility

The release describes claw combat that mixes melee action, stealth, and Wolverine’s heightened senses. The game page describes adamantium claw attacks, swappable Techniques and Adaptations used to stalk, ambush, or overpower enemies, and a momentum system that builds Rage during fights.
