A reliable industry source has shared promising news regarding Insomniac Games' highly anticipated Wolverine title. With growing speculation about an upcoming trailer for Wolverine potentially arriving in the near future, PlayStation enthusiasts may have something significant to look forward to.

The game was initially unveiled during the 2021 PlayStation Showcase through a CGI teaser, with confirmation that development was in its early stages for PlayStation 5. Insomniac maintained complete silence about the project's progress until a significant cybersecurity incident in late 2023 exposed numerous details about Wolverine, including a targeted 2026 launch window and even an unfinished alpha version. This led to concerns about potential delays or cancellation, but the studio quickly reassured fans that development would continue as planned, though without confirming a specific release timeframe.

Now, more than eighteen months later, indications suggest that Wolverine is preparing for its comeback. Prominent industry insider Tom Henderson recently indicated that Insomniac intends to reveal a new Wolverine trailer during the speculated PlayStation State of Play event in late September 2025, generating substantial excitement among fans who have been awaiting official news about the title. During a recent episode of the Insider Gaming Weekly podcast, Henderson stated that he has consulted with "several playtesters" regarding Wolverine, and "their feedback indicates the game appears exceptional."

This development is undoubtedly positive, suggesting that Wolverine has been progressing well despite the extensive confidential information that became public, which undoubtedly affected team morale at Insomniac. Henderson also reinforced his previous reporting about a new Wolverine trailer at the September 2025 State of Play, explaining that this information came from a long-standing source who has consistently provided 'the most trustworthy information' about PlayStation's internal operations. However, Henderson noted there remains a possibility the new trailer "might not appear" at the State of Play, with the December 2025 Game Awards ceremony being the next most likely venue.

"Based on discussions with multiple playtesters, they believe [Wolverine] appears exceptional. This is encouraging news, and we're hopeful about potentially seeing a release date announcement in the coming weeks."

It appears increasingly likely that Insomniac supporters will finally receive new footage of Wolverine after nearly four years of anticipation, though questions remain about the actual launch timing. When PlayStation first-party titles are featured at State of Play events, they typically release approximately one year later, as demonstrated by Ghost of Yotei, Saros, and Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. If Insomniac is indeed prepared to showcase a second trailer for Wolverine, this could indicate the game will be part of the 2026 PlayStation first-party roster, possibly serving as the flagship title for next autumn.
