It looks like Sony could be preparing a surprise for fans later this year. According to new insider rumors, Marvel’s Wolverine, the highly anticipated PlayStation 5 exclusive from Insomniac Games, may finally resurface at the next State of Play showcase. If true, players won’t have to wait much longer for another glimpse at the adamantium-clawed mutant.
The game was originally announced back in September 2021 with a short teaser trailer, confirming only that Insomniac—the studio behind the acclaimed Spider-Man series—was developing a standalone Wolverine adventure. Since then, official details have been scarce. Insomniac has publicly stated that the project is in active development but hasn’t offered any concrete updates, fueling speculation about when fans might finally see more.
Now, multiple anonymous sources have suggested that a new Marvel’s Wolverine trailer is complete and ready to be shown at Sony’s next State of Play. The showcase is rumored to take place toward the end of September, only weeks after PlayStation’s earlier 007 First Light-focused event. While Sony has occasionally hosted more than one State of Play in a single month, nothing has been officially confirmed this time.
The alleged insiders haven’t shared much about what the new trailer will reveal—whether it’s gameplay, a cinematic preview, or even a release window remains a mystery. However, previous leaks provide some context. A 2023 data breach pointed to a tentative 2026 launch, with Spider-Man 3 following in 2027. More recent chatter, however, suggests Wolverine might slip into 2027 instead. Although such a long gap between reveal and release is unusual, it’s far from unheard of in AAA development cycles.
If Wolverine does appear at the showcase, it might not be the only big announcement. Other rumors point to Santa Monica Studio preparing updates on the future of God of War, with some speculation around a possible metroidvania-style spinoff. Bungie’s Marathon is also on the radar as a potential highlight. Still, until Sony or the studios themselves confirm anything, all of this remains in the realm of rumor and expectation.
For now, fans of both PlayStation and Marvel’s iconic anti-hero will have to keep their eyes on Sony’s upcoming announcements. Whether the next State of Play finally delivers the long-awaited update or not, anticipation around Marvel’s Wolverine continues to build, promising one of the most exciting exclusives of the coming generation.
