Marvel's Wolverine is perhaps the biggest surprise to come out of today's PlayStation Showcase, while everyone was certainly looking for the Spider-man sequel's release date, Insomniac decided to surprise everyone by also revealing another game based on a beloved Marvel hero. Unfortunately, the announcement trailer didn't come with a release date for Marvel's Wolverine, but it did show us a small glimpse of the fan-favorite Adamantium-clawed X-men member.

Marvel's Wolverine Release Date: TBA

Ryan Schneider, Insomniac's Head of Franchise Strategy & Studio Relations, expounds on the game in the official PlayStation Blog post, saying:

“Marvel’s Wolverine is a standalone game being directed by Brian Horton (creative director) and Cameron Christian (game director), who recently led the creative efforts on Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, a game we’re extremely proud of at Insomniac. In the vein of our Spider-Man games, our goal here is to not only respect the DNA of what makes the character so popular, but also look for opportunities to make it feel fresh and truly reflect the Insomniac spirit. Even though Marvel’s Wolverine is very early in development, from what I’ve seen of its emotional narrative and cutting-edge gameplay (see what I did there?), the team is already creating something truly special.”

Other than the small tease in the trailer, there's not a lot of details yet on what kind of game Marvel's Wolverine will be. Perhaps another open-world action-adventure like Marvel's Spider-man? Or maybe a more cinematic, story-driven linear narrative? We'll make sure to keep you posted when new information about Marvel's Wolverine drops – especially when its the release date.
