It’s finally here, Bub. After a long silence, Insomniac Games has given us a new, brutal look at their highly anticipated title, Marvel’s Wolverine.

The new trailer, which debuted at a recent PlayStation State of Play, has finally pulled back the curtain on the game’s tone, gameplay, and most importantly, the man bringing Logan to life.

A New Voice for an Iconic Mutant: Meet Liam McIntyre

For two decades, Hugh Jackman has been the definitive live-action Wolverine. So, who steps into those huge, adamantium-laced boots? The answer is Australian actor Liam McIntyre. While his name might not be as universally recognized as Jackman’s, McIntyre is far from a stranger to fans of geek culture.

He’s best known for his intense and emotional turn as the title character in the TV series Spartacus, where he took over the lead role under immense pressure. This experience of carrying a major franchise on his shoulders is a huge plus. Furthermore, McIntyre is a veteran of the gaming world, having voiced characters like JD Fenix in the Gears of War series and Taron Malicos in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. His resume shows he’s got the chops to deliver the gravelly, battle-worn performance Wolverine requires.

McIntyre has expressed that portraying Logan is “one of the greatest honors” of his life, and his passion for the character is evident. Insomniac’s creative director, Marcus Smith, also lauded McIntyre’s ability to capture the “rage, pain, and nuances” of the iconic mutant.

What’s New on the Menu?

Beyond the big voice actor reveal, the new Marvel’s Wolverine trailer provided a host of new details and a clear sense of what we can expect from the game:

• A Mature and Brutal Experience: This isn’t your friendly neighborhood hero. The trailer promises a “darker and more brutal” game, with a definite mature rating. The gameplay snippets showcase visceral, bloody combat that feels true to Wolverine’s character, with an emphasis on fluid, fast, and destructive action.
• A Global Thriller: The story will send Logan on a journey to uncover secrets from his past, taking him to various iconic locations from the comics. We saw glimpses of the snowy Canadian wilderness, the bustling streets of Tokyo, and even the shadowy island nation of Madripoor.
• Familiar and Ferocious Foes: The trailer teased appearances by classic X-Men villains. Fans spotted Omega Red and the shape-shifting Mystique, with hints of other characters and enemy factions like the Reavers. It’s clear that Logan will have his hands full, or rather, his claws full.
• Release Window and More Info: We now have a solid timeframe for the game’s release: Fall 2026. Insomniac also announced that they will be providing another major update in Spring 2026, so the wait for more information won’t be quite as long this time.

Insomniac has made it clear that while they are the masters behind the beloved Marvel’s Spider-Man series, this Wolverine game will be a different beast entirely. It’s not an open-world sandbox, but a more focused, narrative-driven experience centered on Logan’s rage and quest for answers. With a new voice at the helm and a clear vision for a raw, uncompromising take on the character, Marvel’s Wolverine is shaping up to be an adventure that fans have been waiting for.
