From Insomniac's PS Blog post on their 2 newly announced games:

Now let’s talk about the announcement you probably weren’t expecting: Marvel’s Wolverine. Back when we were working on Marvel’s Spider-Man, there would be times where all of us—Insomniac, Sony Interactive Entertainment, and Marvel—would brainstorm together about the future beyond the web-slinger. And even in those early discussions, Wolverine continually came up as the character we’d be really stoked to work on together. Fast-forward a couple years and we’re suddenly standing in front of Sony Interactive Entertainment and Marvel formally pitching a PlayStation 5 game starring the adamantium-clawed Mutant! (Since you just saw the announce teaser, we can confirm that the pitch seemed to go pretty well.)

So many of the Insomniac team are such huge fans of the character, and one of the key elements that drew us to him is surprisingly not that different from Spider-Man: Both heroes feel deeply compelled to defend people who are less able to do so.

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.

Insomniac building their own Marvel Games universe is exciting! Hopefully they get to work on a Captain America game next

The license plate behind the bar has HLK 181 on it. In issue 181 of The Incredible Hulk, Wolverine fights the Hulk. On the other hand, it may just be referencing the first appearence of Wolverine.

Hopefully this isn't another open-world game, would be happy with a cool, linear Wolverine story.

I'd be surprised if we saw this before 2025 though unless it's something smaller like Miles was. Expect it'll be teased in Spider-Man 2.

Yeah, I hope they go the linear direction too.

Was hoping that it’ll be 18 rated.

Wouldn’t feel right if Wolverine’s claws act like rubber bats and didn’t dismember any limbs.

This is the game David Jaffa tweeted about recently. He posted a typo riddled tweet about how he’d found out about a new game from Sony and that when it was revealed people would lose their minds before apologising for all the typos saying he was trying to cook and tweet at the same time. The only capital letters in the whole tweet spelled out BUB :D

I dunno. I feel the Avengers game pretty much summed up what you could do with Captain America & his shield pretty simply. Not sure he’s got the same appeal world as Wolverine/Spider-Man in a gaming sense

I think in the right hands they could turn it into something great, although an Insomniac Iron-Man game might be more up their street

Guy who wrote Spec Ops is behind the writing on Wolverine

SpecOps was great but may have been an outlier to the quality of his usual work. How was writing in those other games in his bio?

Wish I could get hyped for this, as I really like Wolverine as a comic character, but I'm currently suffering through Spider-Man on PS5 and it's comfortably the worst Insomniac game I've played. Not in a "this is dog gooseberry fool" way, just a low level ennui that leaves me thinking "this is Spider-Man! This is Insomniac FFS! Why is this not a better game!?"

So yeah, I'm struggling to get excited for more comic book action from them at the moment. Perhaps a proper trailer will get my hype levels going
