Complete Marvel's Wolverine guide to become the best there is
Everything you need to know about Marvel's Wolverine
Our Marvel's Wolverine guide lays out all the essential details you need to know, including some handy pointers if you're clawing your way through Logan's action-packed journey. Admittedly, the game is pretty straightforward, so you shouldn't get tripped up that much as you play. But, like Insomniac's Spider-Man games, there are quite a few collectibles to get and plenty of obscure X-Men and Wolverine references to keep an eye out for. All that and more, including some Technique and Adaptation recommendations to help with slashing combat, is laid out below, Bub!
Marvel's Wolverine release date and review
Marvel's Wolverine released on September 15, 2026, to mixed but generally positive reviews - you can read our 3-star Wolverine review here! It's not quite one of the best PS5 games, but it's still a decent time.
Marvel's Wolverine platforms
Wolverine is currently only available on PS5, and there's no word on if it'll be coming to other platforms, namely PC, in the future and probably won't be.
Back in May 2026, it was reported that PlayStation Studios CEO Herman Hulst told staff that its narrative single-player games will now be PlayStation exclusives. So don't hold your breath if you're hoping for Wolverine to be playable on anything other than a PlayStation - but you can still play Insomniac Games' three Spider-Man games on PC via Steam!
Marvel's Wolverine length
How long is Marvel's Wolverine exactly? Your mileage will vary depending on how much you engage with the game's extracurricular activities like finding whiskey bottles and completing Nightmare Trials, but it should take you around 15-20 hours to finish.
The game's 30 levels are mostly very linear, with the game extensively guiding you around, so there aren't many sticking points - besides the odd combat encounter and maybe the Marvel's Wolverine Shiro closet code puzzle.
Marvel's Wolverine collectibles and Easter eggs
Wolverine is one of Marvel's most recognizable characters and one of the best X-Men members, with a hugely rich history and plenty of appearances across comics, movies, and TV. That means he's a gold mine for the usual collectible gubbins that we've come to expect from Insomniac's superhero titles.
There are over 25 Marvel's Wolverine suits to unlock, each referencing a classic costume from one of Wolverine's many superhero outings. Then there are the collectible Marvel's Wolverine whiskey bottles, all 21 of which are named after something relating to Wolverine or the X-Men comics.
And the suits and bottles are just scratching the surface as there are plenty of other Marvel's Wolverine references and Easter eggs that we found while playing. Some are more obvious mentions of classic X-Men and crossovers with things that appear in the Spider-Man games, while others are much deeper cuts that only those with a deep knowledge of the comics will pick up on.

Marvel's Wolverine combat tips
Clawing through enemies is obviously a big part of Wolverine and he has two separate systems that bolster his combat capabilities. You'll learn about his Techniques first, which are unlockable abilities and extra moves that you can use to more efficiently eviscerate your foes. While you can unlock all of them in a single playthrough, it helps to know the best Marvel's Wolverine Techniques so that you can focus on getting the most useful ones as early as possible.
Next, there's the Adaptations system, which lets you apply a small selection of passive perks that will enhance Wolverine's powers, such as building and maintaining Rage, healing, and improving the cooldowns of his Special Techniques. Since you can tweak these on the fly too, ensuring you know about the best Marvel's Wolverine Adaptations will help you a lot. I recommend changing them whenever you can to suit the combat encounter you're in, especially for things like boss fights after the Marvel's Wolverine Omega Red clash.
