Marvel's Wolverine

A feral Logan is discovered by mutant geneticist Nathaniel Essex. Over the next 27 years, Logan works for Team X, a team created by Essex to protect mutants, with Logan adopting the codename "Wolverine" before quitting. Three years later, Logan reunites with his former teammates Sabretooth and Mystique to rescue Essex from a facility owned by Bolivar Trask, a scientist plotting to wipe out mutantkind. The team rescues Essex and defeats Trask's henchman Omega Red.

At the Essex Institute in Canada, Team X meets with Walter Langkowski to discuss the threat Trask poses. Logan travels to Vancouver to evacuate a group of mutants under attack by the Reavers, Trask's private militia. One of the mutants, Jean Grey, shows up to help Logan. The mutants's leader Callisto is wounded by the Reavers' leader Skullbuster.

During the development of Marvel's Spider-Man (2018), developer Insomniac Games, Marvel Games and publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment discussed prospects for future games based on Marvel Comics properties beyond Spider-Man, with the team at Insomniac continually suggesting their desire to work on a game featuring Wolverine. The development team were drawn to the character through the similar moral compass he shares with Spider-Man, notably the fact that "both heroes feel deeply compelled to defend people who are less able to do so". Insomniac eventually elected to pitch this idea to both Marvel and Sony as their next licensed property following their successful collaboration with the two parties on developing Marvel's Spider-Man.

Marvel's Wolverine was announced alongside Marvel's Spider-Man 2 (2023) by Insomniac Games, during the PlayStation Showcase event in September 2021. The developers confirmed shortly thereafter that the standalone game shares continuity with the Marvel's Spider-Man games. Brian Horton and Cameron Christian were announced as the game's creative and game directors, respectively, reprising their roles from Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales (2020), with Horton describing the game as "full size, mature tone" in contrast to Miles Morales. Mary Kenney served as the game's writer with Spec Ops: The Line (2012) writer Walt Williams.

Marvel's Wolverine received "generally favorable" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic. OpenCritic determined that 66% of critics recommended the game. The game's critical reception was inferior compared to Insomniac's games from the decade prior.

Eurogamer's Chris Tapsell said "Wolverine's characterisation is a bright spot in this otherwise underwhelming, old-school romp that reminds us how far action games have come."
