Insomniac Games is planning to release a solo Wolverine game in 2026, with a Venom spin-off also reportedly under development for PS5 players.
Fans of Marvel games may have to wait a few more years for Wolverine’s solo adventure. Insomniac Games’ highly anticipated “Marvel’s Wolverine” is reportedly set for a 2026 release, followed by a potential Venom spin-off, according to a report from Mp1st. The Wolverine game was first announced in 2021 as a PlayStation 5-exclusive, promising a single-player experience centered on the iconic X-Man.
Wolverine Game Set for 2026
The report suggests that development on Wolverine remains a top priority, while the Venom game is in active pre-production. Insomniac appears to be focusing its resources on delivering Wolverine first, suggesting that the Venom spin-off may follow once the main title is complete.

Speculation about the game’s setting has drawn attention from fans. Wolverine’s story may take place in the pre-X-Men era, possibly in the crime-heavy city of Madripoor. In Marvel Comics, Logan adopts the alias “Patch” while living a double life in the fictional city. While Madripoor has not been officially confirmed as the game’s location, it would offer a suitable environment for Wolverine’s adventures. Early teasers show Logan in a bar scene after a fight, leaving room for multiple interpretations of his location.

Report also suggests that the game could feature a semi-open world, allowing players to explore, uncover mysteries, and experience Logan’s tracking and combat abilities. The single-player title is expected to carry a “Hard-R” rating, emphasizing mature themes and intense action sequences.
Venom Spin-Off in Development
The Venom spin-off has also generated interest since Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 included a playable Venom sequence. Players experienced abilities and combat moves unique to the symbiote, sparking discussions about a dedicated Venom game. Insomniac has expressed willingness to consider fan interest, and the spin-off could follow Wolverine once development priorities allow.
