A new round of reports has surfaced suggesting that Insomniac Games’ long-awaited Marvel’s Wolverine is aiming for a 2026 launch, while the previously rumored Venom project remains alive and in development.

According to Insider Gaming and several other outlets citing industry sources, Wolverine is currently slated for a 2026 release window. While no official confirmation has been given by Sony or Insomniac, the claim lines up with what many fans expected, given the studio’s current workload following Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. The game is said to be far enough along that an appearance at an upcoming State of Play event is “likely.”

The Venom project, meanwhile, has been the subject of speculation since last year, when early reports suggested Insomniac was exploring a spin-off focused on the fan-favorite anti-hero. The latest information indicates that development is ongoing, though the project has not yet reached the stage where release timing can be predicted. Story rumors continue to swirl, with Eddie Brock at the center of the narrative and Carnage teased as a possible major villain. Some leaks have even pointed toward an Anti-Venom twist, though none of these details have been substantiated.

Both titles represent significant steps for Insomniac as it continues to expand its Marvel portfolio. Spider-Man 2 proved the studio could successfully handle multiple iconic characters within one game, and Wolverine marks a shift toward a darker, more mature tone. A Venom game would further diversify its lineup, offering a perspective not often explored in superhero games.

As always with unverified reports, fans should temper expectations until official announcements are made. Still, the timing of these leaks so close to PlayStation’s expected September showcase has many wondering if a reveal is just around the corner.

For now, the wait continues, but if the information holds true, Wolverine’s claws could be unsheathed in 2026, with Venom’s symbiote adventures following sometime after.
