Marvel's Wolverine SDCC panel: Insomniac reveals story details, characters, and new footage

Insomniac Games took Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 to pull back the curtain on Marvel's Wolverine, the studio's upcoming PS5 exclusive. The panel featured creative director Marcus Smith, game director Mike Daly, narrative director Walt Williams, and senior project director Jess Reiner-Reed, joined by voice actors Liam McIntyre (Wolverine) and Krizia Bajos (Jean Grey), plus Marvel Games executive producer Eric Monacelli.

The panel promised behind-the-scenes looks at the game's story, characters, and never-before-seen content. Insomniac had already confirmed ahead of SDCC that Sabretooth — Wolverine's longtime nemesis — will be a playable co-op partner at some point in the game. The most recent trailer also gave a first look at Lady Deathstrike, raising expectations that more characters could be announced during the panel itself.

Marvel's Wolverine is being built as a PS5 exclusive by the same Insomniac team behind the Marvel's Spider-Man series. An earlier IGN interview from June shed light on how co-op works in practice, specifically teaming up with Jean Grey in combat — suggesting the game leans into ensemble dynamics rather than keeping Wolverine strictly solo.

IGN is covering the panel live from Hall H, with broader SDCC live streams scheduled for July 24 and 25, running 3pm–7pm PT each day across IGN platforms.
