Insomniac Games' Marvel's Wolverine is confirmed for September 15, PS5 exclusive — and the plot details that have emerged put it firmly in classic Wolverine-comics territory.
The story
Three years after Logan walked out on the mutant task force Team X, he's pulled back in during their darkest hour. Bolivar Trask — yes, the Sentinel-program Trask from the comics — is kidnapping mutants, driven by his belief in human superiority. Wolverine has to team up with fellow mutants across the globe, with the story taking players through Canada, Japan, and the Marvel comics' island nation of Madripoor, to stop him.
Built from the comics, not just the movies
Insomniac has been clear this game draws from Wolverine's full comic history rather than any single film continuity — the Team X backstory, the Trask/Sentinel connection, and Madripoor as a setting are all comics-first choices that longtime readers will recognize immediately, even if they've never touched a Wolverine video game before.
Worth knowing for the shop
Big single-player Marvel game launches reliably drive interest in the character's back issues — especially anything touching Team X, Weapon X, or the classic Trask/Sentinels storylines. Worth a display in the two weeks leading into September 15.
