Wolverine Gets First Gameplay Reveal, Launching on PS5 Next Year

Sony and Insomniac Games finally show the new Wolverine game during Wednesday’s State of Play.

After years of silence since its announcement back in 2021, the Marvel Wolverine game finally saw the light of day on Wednesday during Sony’s State of Play event. The game, featuring the popular mutant, is slated to come out next year.

Developed by Insomniac Games, Wolverine is a standalone story set in the X-Men universe that the developer says is going to be a bloody mess. Not much of the game was shown during the event, but it is confirmed, as of now, to be coming out in the fall of 2026.

The trailer features snippets of gameplay with Wolverine slashing at his enemies with his adamantium claws. A few notable characters featured along with the hero include his longtime rivals Omega Red, the shape-shifter Mystique and the mutant-hunting Sentinels.

In the game, Logan is out to find answers to some of the mysteries of his past. His search takes him to the island nation of Madripoor, the Canadian wilderness and the streets of Tokyo.

Following the trailer debut, members of Insomniac Games spoke a bit about the upcoming title, emphasizing how the game would have special blood tech to make sure it featured the kind of bloody gameplay needed for a Wolverine adventure.

Wolverine is set to come out next fall, but as has been the case with so many games of late, that could change. It’s currently a PS5 exclusive, although it might head to PC sometime later.

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 Might Come in 5G and 4G Cellular Models

If the rumor proves true, the 5G Galaxy Watch Ultra would rival the 5G-enabled $799 Apple Watch Ultra 3 that debuted last fall.

Samsung’s next high-end Galaxy Watch could support faster 5G speeds, but if this leak is true, it will depend on where you live. The rumored Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 might come in 5G and 4G cellular models, with availability for each smartwatch depending on the country.

According to the Dutch website Galaxy Club (and spotted by SamMobile), Samsung’s servers may have revealed a series of model numbers that point to 5G, 4G and Wi-Fi-enabled editions of the next Galaxy Watch Ultra, which would succeed the original model that debuted in 2024.

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

The Galaxy Club website speculates that the 5G edition would be sold in the US and Korean markets, while the 4G edition would sell in the rest of the world. In the US, a 5G version of the Galaxy Watch Ultra would rival the 5G-enabled $799 Apple Watch Ultra 3, which debuted last fall. The 4G edition would have broader compatibility worldwide, since the earlier network is far more established.

It will likely be a few months until we hear anything official about the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. Samsung typically unveils its new watches in the summer alongside its Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip foldable phones. Last year, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Watch 8 and the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, but otherwise left the prior 2024 Ultra in the lineup for those looking for a larger 47mm smartwatch.
