"Usually the announcement of a release date for one of Sony's big first-party titles would warrant some fanfare, and yet for someone reason, Marvel's Wolverine has recieved none. Instead, Insomniac just dropped the announcement on X with zero buildup."
"It's even wierder when you consider that Sony just held a State of Play a few weeks ago where an announcement like this would have been a spectacular way to wrap-up an already very strong show."
"I realise I'm probably just being cynical dick here, but it almost feels like Sony's way of trying to calm down everyone afte the recent closure of Bluepoint Games, which the online community is still...er, rather unhappy with."
Insomniac Games and Sony announced Marvel's Wolverine release date of September 15, 2026 through a casual post on X without significant promotional buildup. This approach contrasts with Sony's typical strategy for major first-party title announcements, which usually feature substantial fanfare and presentation opportunities. The announcement notably came weeks after Sony's State of Play event, where such a reveal would have served as a strong conclusion. The unconventional announcement strategy may reflect Sony's attempt to manage community sentiment following the recent closure of Bluepoint Games, which generated considerable online backlash. Alternatively, the low-key approach represents a refreshing departure from standard hype cycles, allowing the release date to reach audiences organically.
