Following months of rumors, Insomniac Games has officially announced the release date for their game. As expected, they’ve scheduled it to avoid coinciding with the launch of another major title.
Sony had repeatedly stated that Marvel’s Wolverine would be released in 2026. However, video game release dates often shift, so fans were skeptical. The game’s absence from Sony’s February 2026 State of Play presentation—which was generally considered disappointing—only increased those concerns.
Marvel’s Wolverine Has Settled On A Release Date (Away From GTA 6)
Insomniac Games announced the release date for their next game on PlayStation 5 as September 15, 2026. The announcement was surprisingly made through a spontaneous post on their official Twitter (now X) account. Many expected them to save this big news for the February State of Play presentation, but they revealed the date unexpectedly.
It’s smart that Marvel’s Wolverine isn’t coming out during the holidays. Grand Theft Auto 6 is scheduled for November 19, 2026, and most other game publishers are steering clear of that release date, with Nintendo being the possible exception.
The announced release date suggests Marvel’s Wolverine probably won’t be delayed significantly, unless there are major setbacks in the coming months. Launching so close to Rockstar’s new game could hurt sales. There was concern about this last year, but it turned out to be unfounded when Rockstar postponed their game.
Fans are eager for the upcoming game, but there’s concern that Marvel’s Wolverine could be rushed to release before Grand Theft Auto, potentially impacting its quality. While Insomniac Games has delivered polished Marvel games in the past, none have faced competition from a title as massive as Grand Theft Auto.
If Marvel’s Wolverine isn’t finished on time, will Sony rush a flawed version to market, significantly delay it until later this year, or postpone its release until 2027?
If GTA 6 Is Delayed, Marvel’s Wolverine Has a Chance at The Game Awards
Another key question is whether Grand Theft Auto 6 will still be released in 2026. GTA 6 has already been delayed several times in the last year, so another delay is certainly possible. If that happens, Marvel’s Wolverine could be the biggest game at the 2026 Game Awards.
Everyone anticipates that Grand Theft Auto 6 will be the biggest topic at next year’s game awards, potentially overshadowing other titles. This could mean excellent games launching later, like Marvel’s Wolverine in 2026, might not receive the recognition they deserve.
If Marvel’s Wolverine launches on time in September and is a well-made, enjoyable game, it’s likely to be very successful and receive positive reviews. Given its talented development team, it could even be a contender for Game of the Year in 2026. However, the gaming landscape is unpredictable, and even a great game isn’t guaranteed success.
