Insomniac Games appears to be doubling down on its Marvel projects. Rumors are swirling that Marvel’s Wolverine is now expected to launch sometime in 2026, and that a Venom spin off game is also under development. These reports come from several industry sources that have shared leaked details and insider info.
The Wolverine game was first announced in 2021 and set in the same universe as Insomniac’s Spider Man titles, though it has always been billed as a standalone adventure. Creative direction has shifted somewhat since then due to internal changes and the fallout from a major data breach at Insomniac in late 2023, which leaked development assets. Despite that, developers are reportedly pushing forward with Wolverine as a priority.
As for the Venom spin off, it seems to be less far along. Sources suggest Venom is in active development but possibly still in pre production. Characters like Eddie Brock as Venom, Carnage as an antagonistic force, and even appearances by Anti Venom have been mentioned in leaks. No firm release date for Venom has been confirmed.
If Wolverine does arrive in 2026, it is likely to be a major release for PS5. Fans expect high quality combat, emotional narrative, and maybe even equipment upgrades to leverage PS5’s hardware.
