It’s been one year since PlayStation raised the curtains over Marvel’s Wolverine. The fans have been waiting for a release date ever since the announcement. However, Sony’s rival, Microsoft, seems to have recently revealed the potential date of its release.

Marvel’s Wolverine is an upcoming action-adventure game developed by Insomniac Games for PlayStation 5. These American developers were also the masterminds behind the fan-favorite Marvel’s Spider-Man and are currently working on the sequel to the game.

The CMA is concerned that this move can possibly have a negative impact on Microsoft’s competitor Sony. So, the American company came up with a document to persuade the authority to get the green light for the Activision deal.

In the documentation, Microsoft stated that the games like Spider-Man 2, Horizon, Final Fantasy XVI, and Forspoken would release on PlayStation in 2023. While all these games are actually releasing next year, another name among these was Wolverine.

Although PlayStation hasn’t revealed anything about Wolverine’s release. Moreover, Insomniac Games is currently busy with Spider-Man 2. But, the American developers are a multi-team studio who have worked on numerous games simultaneously.

Fans are shocked to know about the 2023 release date

Undoubtedly, the news of Marvel’s Wolverine releasing next year surprised everyone. The fans couldn’t believe that it might happen. However, some fans questioned how Insomniac would release it while working on Spider-Man.

But another fan presented that Insomniac released Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart around seven months apart. Undoubtedly it’s hard for fans to believe this Marvel comics-based action-adventure game might release next year.
