September is expected to be an unprecedented month for massive video games. Just about every studio has rushed to get their latest titles out of the way of Grand Theft Auto VI, which is shaping up to be the biggest media release of the year and is bound to dominate the conversation once it drops in November. Capcom’s Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Nintendo’s Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, Remedy’s Control Resonant, and Konami and Annapurna’s Silent Hill: Townfall represent just some of the notable launches due for September, with more set to follow in October. Smack in the middle of the month, on September 15, however, is a game that could arguably be the most anticipated of the bunch — Marvel’s Wolverine.
First announced back in 2021, coming off the success of Marvel’s Spider-Man, Insomniac’s take on Logan Howlett has been through the developmental wringer. The game was infamously caught up in the 2023 Rhysida hack and had developmental builds and early materials leaked online in the incident. Despite that, work continued from its reveal until the curtain was finally pulled back last September, and Wolvie was unveiled in full bloody glory, ripping enemies apart and clashing with classic foes like Omega Red and Sabretooth. Liam McIntyre will be voicing the character as players follow him on a mission with Task Force X to investigate Bolivar Trask’s kidnapping of mutants using his private militia. In preparation for its long-awaited release, Marvel and Insomniac have joined forces once more to expand the story a bit further.
Marvel Comics will be handing out an official Wolverine prequel comic they’ve been working on in secret at San Diego Comic-Con in two weeks. The cover even reflects that, featuring an image of Logan clawing through a classified information folder reading “priority clearance only for the players.” Little is known about the story, including who handled the artwork, but it’s penned by the game’s narrative director, Walt Williams, ensuring that it will stay true to the tone of Insomniac’s adventure. There’s no telling if this will take place in the time leading up to Wolverine’s departure from Task Force X or in the three-year gap between then and his decision to rejoin the fight during the game.

Your Hero Has Been Identified Your MCU Hero Is…
Based on your answers, the Marvel hero who matches your spirit, values, and instincts has been revealed.
Queens, New York
🕷️ Spider-Man
You carry the weight of the world on shoulders that are younger than they should have to be — funny, loyal, and endlessly self-sacrificing.
You do the right thing not because it’s easy, but because no one else will.
You understand that responsibility isn’t a burden you choose — it’s one that finds you.
Whether it’s a neighbourhood mugging or a multiverse crisis, you show up.
Peter Parker’s lesson — that great power demands great responsibility — isn’t a slogan to you. It’s the code you live by, even when it costs you everything.
Hell’s Kitchen, New York
😈 Daredevil
You fight in the shadows between law and chaos, guided by a fierce moral compass that refuses to let the guilty walk free.
You use every tool available — your mind, your body, your faith — to protect those the system overlooks.
You’ve looked into the darkness and chosen not to become it, though the line has never been easy.
Matt Murdock’s duality — champion in the courtroom, devil in the alley — mirrors your own.
Relentless, conflicted, and unwilling to stop. That is exactly you.
Stark Industries, Malibu
🤖 Iron Man
Brilliant, driven, and occasionally insufferable — but always the person who solves the unsolvable problem.
You lead with your mind and back it up with resources, innovation, and a stubbornness that borders on heroic.
You started out looking out for yourself, but somewhere along the way the world became your responsibility.
Tony Stark’s arc — from ego to sacrifice — is your arc too.
You build, you plan, and when the moment comes, you’re willing to give everything. Because in the end, you’re Iron Man.
New York City
💀 The Punisher
You’ve been through fire that would break most people — and it did change you, completely. What’s left is unyielding, relentless, and operating by a code forged in grief.
You don’t ask for forgiveness, and you don’t expect gratitude.
You see a corrupt, broken world and you’ve decided to do something about it, consequences be damned.
Frank Castle’s war is born from love twisted by loss — and so is yours.
Uncompromising and unflinching — the world may not agree with your methods, but your conviction is absolute.
Asgard · Protector of the Nine Realms
⚡ Thor
Powerful, proud, and on a lifelong journey to become worthy of the legend you carry.
You lead with strength but have learned — sometimes painfully — that true greatness comes from humility and growth.
You’re larger than life, yet more vulnerable than you let on.
Thor’s story is one of transformation: from arrogant prince to worthy king, from isolated warrior to beloved protector.
You bring the storm when it’s needed — and the warmth when it matters just as much.
Brooklyn, New York · The Avengers
🛡️ Captain America
You believe in something bigger than yourself — and you fight for it even when the world has moved on and nobody else will.
You don’t bully the small guy, and you never stop when it gets hard.
Steve Rogers didn’t become a hero when he got the serum — he was always one. So were you.
Your strength isn’t in your fists; it’s in your refusal to compromise what’s right, no matter the cost.
In a world full of people taking the easy road, you’re the one who picks up the shield and stands up — every single time.

A mystery comic isn’t all that’s in store for Insomniac’s latest at SDCC. Wolverine is also one of three Sony games set to get their own dedicated panel, joining God of War Laufey and the fighting game Marvel Tokon. The two Marvel presentations will take place on Thursday, with the first welcoming McIntyre back to the convention to share some new details, behind-the-scenes insights, and “exclusive never-before-seen content” with the audience in attendance. Last month’s State of Play presentation already had a few notable reveals, like the presence of Jean Gray, but there’s still plenty left unsaid about the violent Marvel video game.
Marvel’s Wolverine releases exclusively on PlayStation 5 on September 15. Check out the prequel comic cover above.
