Microsoft may have (deliberately?) leaked the release window for Marvel’s Wolverine on PS5. In fact, everything goes of a document sent by the Redmond firm to the Competition Markets Authority (CMA), the body responsible for regulating competition in the United Kingdom. In it, she presents a list of arguments to explain that Sony Interactive Entertainment – which fears that Call of Duty will become exclusive to Xbox consoles – has absolutely nothing to fear from the takeover of Activision Blizzard. “For 2023, PlayStation has a whole host of exclusive games developed in-house or by third-party studios such as Spider-Man 2, Wolverine, Horizon, Final Fantasy XVI and Forspoken“, can we read. The thing is, Sony Interactive Entertainment never said that Marvel’s Wolverine would be released next year. Simple Microsoft error or real dump?
As pointed out Tech4Gamers (from whom the information emanates) Insomniac Games is also at work on Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and it would be surprising if the studio released two AAAs in the same year. Moreover, if communication on Marvel’s Wolverine is non-existent, Insomniac Games recently recalled that things were progressing well for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and that a release in 2023 was still relevant. Everything is possible in the wonderful world of video games, but for the moment, the most plausible hypothesis is that Microsoft is seeking at all costs to validate its merger with Activision Blizzard, even if it means “deteriorating” as it did. recently by claiming, for example, that the Xbox was dumped on the console market.

For the record, Marvel’s Wolverine was announced in September 2021 as part of the PlayStation Showcase. “In line with our Spider-Man games, our goal here is not only to respect what makes the character so popular, but also to look for opportunities to make him original and reflect the spirit of Insomniac.explained Ryan Schneider, Director of Franchise, Strategy & Studio Relations at Insomniac Games. Even though Marvel’s Wolverine is still in early development, the team is already creating something truly special, from what I’ve seen of its emotionally charged storytelling and honed gameplay.“
