Insomniac Games has announced that Marvel’s Wolverine has gone gold and finished development. This means that its release date of September 15 is now set in stone.
Check out the announcement post confirming that Wolverine is ready for release below:
Recent hands-on impressions confirm that Wolverine will feature the titular character as part of Team X, joined by Mystique and Sabretooth, and formed by Nathaniel Essex. In the comics, Essex is also known as the antagonist Mr. Sinister. Here, Troy Baker will portray the character.

The PlayStation Store describes the game as follows:
The game will explore Logan’s signature spin on heroism – which is much darker and more brutal than you might expect from Insomniac. Independence is often the way of Wolverine, although he’ll encounter familiar faces on his journey, like the elusive Mystique and the brutish Omega Red. Some will fight alongside Logan against all odds, while others will unleash all-out attacks, such as the Reavers, an enemy faction that will keep our hero’s instincts on edge.
In this original story, Wolverine is on the hunt to uncover the secrets of a dark past that keeps eluding him. His search for answers will send him on perilous excursions to exotic locales, including the island nation of Madripoor, the frosted wilderness of Canada and the narrow city streets of Tokyo – all potential battlegrounds for fierce, bloody, destructive action.
