Insomniac Games has confirmed that Wolverine is in "very early▨🔜 development".
The announcem🎃ent of a Wolverine game was easily one of the highlights of the most recent PlayStation Showcase, but fans made note of the 🌸lack of any kind of release year or actual gameplay footage. That now makes a lot more sense, as Insomniac has confirmed that Wolverine is still in "very early development".
Following the game's announcement during the PlayStation Showcase, , revealing more about its development state and when fans can expect to play it.
On Wolverine, Schneider said﷽, "Even though Marvel’s Wolverine is very early in development, from what I’ve seen of its emotional narrative and cutting-edge gameplay (see what I did there?), the team is already creating something truly special."
From this, it makes sense why we saw a CGI teaser for Wolverine. Schneider's comments hint that some elements of the game's story and gameplay have already been decided and are being worked on, but it still seems like we're going to be waiting a while for anything more on the game.
Schneider also detailed some of how Wolverine came to be, saying, "Wolverine continually came up as the character we’d be really stoked to work on together. Fast-forward a couple years and we’re suddenly standing in front of Sony Interactive Entertainment and Marvel formally pitching a Pla🐈yStation 5 game starring the adamantium-clawed Mutant! (Since you just saw the announce teaser, we can confirm that the pitch seemed to go pretty well.)"
also reveals that Wolverine is being headed up by Brian Horton and Cameron Christian. Schneider points out that they "recently led the creative efforts on Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales". This means that the Miles Morales team is working on Wolverine, whilst the original Spider-Man team is working on Spider-Man 2. That still leaves the Ratchet team working on unannounced things, just in case you thought it couldn't be doing any more.
