Marvel’s Wolverine was one of the major announcements that aired during September 2021’s PlayStation Showcase. Developed by Insomniac Games, it seems to herald a stronger push into video game territory on Marvel’s part, leaving fans wondering about whether or not it might be headed to PC and what its release date might be.
It’s been ages since Logan got a proper video game and the developer aims “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.”
Marvel's Wolverine Release Date
Its track record with the Spider-Man games definitely shows promise, and Marvel’s Wolverine will be directed by Brian Horton and Cameron Christian, who were the creative directors and game directors for Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
Unfortunately, there’s no word on whether or not we can expect a PC release date for Marvel’s Wolverine just yet. The game is “very early in development,” the PlayStation Blog reveals, and didn’t even get a broad release window, indicating that it could be years away.
Sony is planning on bringing more PS4 exclusives to PC, but Marvel’s Wolverine is “in development for PlayStation 5,” at least according to its announcement trailer.
In an interview from May 2023 with Famitsu, translated by ResetEra, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan suggested that, while PC ports remain part of the company’s strategy, they may continue to launch years after the PS5 versions.
“We also fully understand the importance of PS5 exclusive titles. As I mentioned earlier, PlayStation Studios’ main responsibility is to have people enjoy the game experience using the latest PS. We are increasing the number of PS5-exclusive titles and staggering the release of the PC version,” Ryan said.
“I often have the opportunity to ask game fans for their opinions, and when I ask them about the time lag, they say that selling the PC version two or three years after the release of the PS version is accepted favorably.”
At the moment, it’s unclear whether or not a Marvel’s Wolverine PC release date is in the cards at all. We’ll likely learn more about it as we get closer to launch, and we’ll update this article as soon as we know more. In the meantime, check out the game’s trailer below.
