Marvel’s Wolverine Finally Has a Release Date, and It’s Soon

September can’t come quickly enough.

Marvel’s Wolverine game is coming surprisingly soon. On Tuesday, Sony revealed a September release date, marking a launch almost exactly five years after it was first announced in 2021.

The game is set to land on Sept. 15, according to a post on PlayStation’s X account. It included a link to the PSN Store page for the PS5 version, although there is only an option to wishlist the game so far.

Developed by Insomniac Games, Marvel’s Wolverine was kept under wraps for years following its announcement. We finally got the full reveal during a State of Play last September.

How much will Marvel’s Wolverine cost?

No price appears on the game’s PSN Store page, but it’s likely to retail for $70 like other recent AAA games. While no special editions have been confirmed, if there are different editions, one (or more) may be priced higher due to extra in-game content or other extras.

Is Marvel’s Wolverine a PS5 exclusive?

As of now, yes, it is. The game might make the jump to PC later, as other PlayStation exclusives have, such as The Last of Us, God of War and Marvel’s Spider-Man.

What is Marvel’s Wolverine about?

As revealed last September, the game will follow Logan as he seeks answers to mysteries about his past. He’ll have to journey across the globe from the Canadian wilderness to the fictional island nation of Madripoor and the streets of Tokyo. Logan will also face some of his biggest rivals, such as Omega Red, Mystique and the mutant-hunting Sentinels.

Unlike Insomniac Games’ other superhero series, Marvel’s Spider-Man, the developer made it clear that a game about Wolverine would have to include a lot of blood. In fact, the developer created its own blood rendering tech so that when Wolverine violently slashes and stabs his enemies with his claws, there’s blood everywhere.

OnePlus Reveals New Phones Despite Uncertain Future

Amid rumors of leaving certain markets, the company introduces the Nord CE6 and Nord CE6 Lite.

There’s uncertainty about OnePlus’ future in the UK and Europe, but it’s full steam ahead in Asia for now. The Chinese-based tech company said Monday in a post on X that it will launch two new phones — the Nord CE6 and Nord CE6 Lite — in India on May 7. OnePlus didn’t say when the phones would be available in the US and other markets and didn’t say how much they would cost.

That’s unfortunate, as both Nord phones build on the brand’s recent set of phones with large-capacity batteries. But whereas last year’s flagship OnePlus 15 has a 7,300-mAh one, the Nord CE6 has a massive 8,000-mAh battery, which should last for 2.5 days on a full charge, according to the phone’s listing. While it doesn’t share how fast the phone’s wired or wireless charging is, it does note that the Nord CE6 has 27-watt reverse charging to donate battery charge to other devices. The Nord CE6 Lite, presumably the cheaper version, has a 7,000-mAh battery.

The Nord CE6 and CE6 Lite, visible in a listing on Amazon in India, don’t have prices yet, but they do have a launch date of May 7.

The OnePlus Nord CE6 is powered by a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 system on a chip alongside a Touch Reflex chip. The Nord CE6 has a 1.5K AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate that reaches up to 1,800 nits of peak brightness. The cheaper Nord CE6 Lite includes a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Apex chipset, and its screen also has a 144Hz refresh rate.

The Nord CE6 will be available in three colors — fresh blue, lunar pearl and pitch black — while the Nord CE6 Lite will have two options: vivid mint and hyper black.

The announcements come amid uncertainty about OnePlus’ status in non-Asian markets. Android Authority reported that several high-level employees in the UK and Europe have recently left the company, which is reportedly «evaluating its regional roadmap and product strategy.» There were also rumors that the company might shut down its operations in the UK and Europe. OnePlus is owned by Chinese conglomerate BKK Electronics, which also owns phone brand Oppo.

A representative for OnePlus did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

We loved the OnePlus 15’s battery

Earlier this year, CNET revealed its picks for the best battery life among phones, after rigorous testing of 35 models. The iPhone 17 Pro Max was our winner, and the iPhone 17 and OnePlus 15 were both tied for second place.

CNET also compared the OnePlus 15 and OnePlus 15R, with the choice basically coming down to whether you want a bit more premium (at a higher price) or a decent version for $100 to $200 less.

Austin Evans, a tech tester with 5.76 million subscribers to his YouTube channel, said he’s «really happy» that the Nord CE6 and Nord CE6 Lite phones are at least launching in India for now.

«I like OnePlus, they’ve been a disruptive force for years and generally provide pretty good value,» Evans said. «That being said, I’m wary of how ironclad their commitment to the US market will be. Everything I’ve heard suggests they’re narrowing scope significantly to focus on growth markets like India. Fair play, but I’m still a bit concerned about the long-term plans for the company.»
