Marvel's Wolverine is currently in development for the PS5."X-Men Origins: Wolverine features the most authentic Wolverine experience ever in a video game," said Rob Kostich, vice president of global brand management, Activision Publishing, Inc. It may be wishful thinking considering Marvel's Wolverine doesn't even have a projected release date, but a larger X-Men connection is something interesting to consider until then. It's hard to disconnect Wolverine from the X-Men considering his strong relationship with the team, and Insomniac has already shown that it's willing to bring all kinds of Marvel characters into its games. There's currently no known plans for an X-Men game from Insomniac or any other developer, but Marvel's Wolverine certainly makes it an exciting possibility. Depending on the direction that's taken, it could be a big deviation from the Spider-Man formula, but Wolverine seems to make Insomniac the best candidate to develop an X-Men game at this moment. All of that work could be building towards something bigger, and an X-Men game that follows up Wolverine could be the culmination of Insomniac's efforts with Marvel.

While companies like Square Enix dove headfirst into big team up games like Marvel's Avengers, Insomniac has excelled at providing strong, singular stories. If the announcement of Wolverine has proved anything, it's that Insomniac is quickly becoming the lead developer for spectacular Marvel games.

Over the years, he's become so tied to Professor X's heroic team of mutants that Insomniac will likely make numerous references and possibly even feature X-Men characters. While Wolverine is immensely popular on his own, it can be difficult to discuss the character without also bringing up the X-Men.


If Marvel's Wolverine is going to be anything like Marvel's Spider-Man, it's likely going to have its fair share of references and connections to other Marvel properties. Even with how short the reveal was, fans are already building theories and looking towards the future. The next superhero title from Insomniac Games, coinciding with the long-awaited reveal of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, its announcement at September's PlayStation Showcase was truly unexpected. PS5 and Xbox Series X owners have several games to look forward to over the next couple of years, and PS5 fans in particular were recently treated to the reveal of Marvel's Wolverine. This year has been full of surprise game announcements that look to strengthen the catalogues of the next generation of gaming.
