Insomniac Games Is Making A Wolverine Game

Spider-Man isn't the only Marvel superhero getting his own video game over at Insomniac Games. During the most recent PlayStation Showcase, Insomniac teased Wolverine is getting his own game, and yes its set in the same universe as Spider-Man. Not much was revealed about the upcoming game other than that it exists, but we did get an idea of the tone it will take. Wolverine has never been the most "amped up" character, and Insomniac looks to be respecting that with our first teaser of its upcoming game.

According to the most recent PlayStation Blog post about the announcement, "Marvel’s Wolverine is a standalone game being directed by Brian Horton (creative director) and Cameron Christian (game director), who recently led the creative efforts on Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, a game we’re extremely proud of at Insomniac. In the vein of our Spider-Man games, our goal here is 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. 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."

Spider-Man 2 Coming To PS5 In 2023

Sony and Insomniac revealed that Spider-Man 2 is coming in 2023. The trailer showed off Peter and Miles working together to bring down enemies. The trailer also features voiceover from someone who seems to be looking for a challenge in his face-off against the two Spider-Man heroes, who man believe to be Kraven the Hunter. Last, but most certainly not least. We got a very brief look at Venom. Spider-Man 2 is set to release in 2023 exclusively on PS5. 

 

Insomniac Games Reveals More Details About Spider Man: Miles Morales

Developer of Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Insomniac Games, has released a new trailer for the game. Creative director Brian Horton and senior animator James Ham talk about Miles in the game, including some of his abilities and more. An entry on the PlayStation Blog by Horton also divulges some new details on the title.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales takes place a year after the first Spider-Man; Miles' home in Harlem is the epicenter of a war that's broken out between an energy company and a criminal army. Horton says this story is a full arc, and compares its scope to that of Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.

Finally, although Insomniac have stressed this is Miles' game, Horton teases that Insomniac still has "much of Peter's story left to tell." He's likely talking about whatever Spider-Man 2 will be, but that's yet to be seen. More about the title will be reached in the coming months according to Insomniac.
