Marvel’s Wolverine Will Have a Mature Tone, Says Insomniac Games Creative Director

Brian Horton, creative director of Marvel’s Wolverine at Insomniac Games, has said that the upcoming title will be a full-fledged game with a mature tone.

Horton said this in response to a Twitter user who asked him if the upcoming title will be similar in size to Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales – an expansion directed by Horton. His reply succinctly stated:

Beyond the surprise reveal at the PlayStation Showcase last week, neither Insomniac Games nor Sony have talked about Marvel’s Wolverine, which is still “very early in development.” However, in a post on the PlayStation Blog, the studio said that the idea of a Wolverine game came up quite often when its team was brainstorming for the future.

“Back when we were working on Marvel’s Spider-Man, there would be times where all of us—Insomniac, Sony Interactive Entertainment, and Marvel—would brainstorm together about the future beyond the web-slinger. And even in those early discussions, Wolverine continually came up as the character we’d be really stoked to work on together,” Insomniac Games wrote. “Fast-forward a couple years and we’re suddenly standing in front of Sony Interactive Entertainment and Marvel formally pitching a PlayStation 5 game starring the adamantium-clawed Mutant! Since you just saw the announce teaser, we can confirm that the pitch seemed to go pretty well.”

Insomniac Games has reassured fans that it’ll respect Wolverine‘s DNA, and create something “truly special” that reflects “the Insomniac spirit.”
