Marvel's Wolverine is unlikely to appear in February

Fans hoping to see more of Marvel's Wolverine at this week's State of Play event shouldn't get their hopes up, as developer Insomniac Games tells the community that more of this year's massive PlayStation 5 exclusives will be on display in the spring. While such as Saros and other PlayStation 5 titles very likely to appear during State of Play on February 12th, it looks like Insomniac has other plans for Marvel's Wolverineas fans may have to wait at least another month for additional trailers or general news.

The wait for Marvel's Wolverine has been almost as excruciating as the infinite Grand Theft Auto 6 delays. PlayStation and Insomniac revealed the highly anticipated 2021 title along with Marvel's Spider-Man 2 during a PlayStation Showcase, and while the other main part in the studio Spider-Man series that launched just two years later, fans have waited five years to get their hands on Marvel's Wolverine. Thankfully, the wait is almost over, as last year's September State of Play finally confirmed it Marvel's Wolverine will be launched in 2026.

Insomniac shuts down Marvel's Wolverine appearance at February's State of Play

On February 12, Sony PlayStation fans are treated to a new State of Play event. The company has confirmed that the broadcast will be over an hour long and will include game updates and announcements from around the world. Fans can probably expect to see plenty from both first- and third-party studios, but it looks like Insomniac Games isn't planning on making an appearance during the event. At least not with Marvel's Wolverineanyway. In response to a fan on Twitter asking when more information about the title will be shared, the studio simply responded with “spring 2026.” Since spring doesn't officially start until March 20, 2026, this completely rules out an appearance on this week's State of Play.

While this is the second time Insomniac has insisted that the next title won't appear again until spring 2026, many have speculated that it could appear at State of Play on February 12, as its release window was seemingly leaked by the PlayStation Store earlier this week. According to a listing on the Latin American PlayStation Store, Marvel's Wolverine will be released in Q3 2026, which means somewhere between July and September. With that in mind Grand Theft Auto 6 will launch in November, Sony and Insomniac will likely want to avoid the blast zone as much as possible, so a September release window would make sense, but that has yet to be confirmed.

With the event set to last over an hour, which is highly unusual, there are sure to be plenty of big reveals and significant updates. However, on the side Marvel's Wolverinefans shouldn't expect to see the long-awaited PS5 port either Starfield make an appearance. According to trusted insider Shinobi602, an official Bethesda reveal will take place in March, and not at this week's State of Play.

Ever since Microsoft started bringing more and more exclusive Xbox products to the PlayStation 5, many have been eager to know when Starfield would make the jump. While Bethesda hasn't made any official announcements at the time of writing, rumors suggest the studio is working on a major 2.0 update that will likely launch alongside a PS5 port sometime this year.

So while such as Marvel's Wolverine and Starfield probably won't appear this week, fans can be sure to see more of Housemarque's next title, Saroswhich will launch exclusively on PlayStation 5 on April 30, 2026. The third-person roguelike stars Rahul Kohli as Soltari Enforcer Arjun Devraj and builds on the gameplay the studio developed with 2021's Returnbut looks to be much more forgiving thanks to persistent upgrades and less randomly generated environments.
