According to KitGuru.net, Marvel Games head Haluk Mentes confirmed they plan to continue working with Insomniac Games for many years beyond 2026’s Marvel’s Wolverine release. The leaked roadmap from the 2023 ransomware attack shows Insomniac will release Spider-Man 3 in late 2028, followed by X-Men games starting in 2030. Wolverine will launch as a PS5 exclusive but is expected to eventually come to PC. Interestingly, the leaks suggest X-Men titles might be multiplatform from launch, potentially ending PlayStation’s timed exclusivity. This roadmap appears validated by Mentes’ recent comments about continuing collaboration for many years to come.

The Long Game
Here’s the thing – we’re looking at a partnership that could easily stretch into the 2030s. That’s practically unheard of in the gaming industry where studio relationships change faster than superhero costumes. Insomniac has become Marvel’s golden child, and honestly, can you blame them? The Spider-Man games have been massive commercial successes that actually got the character right. So when they say they want to keep working together for “many years to come,” that’s corporate speak for “we’ve found our gaming soulmate.”
But what’s really interesting is the potential platform shift. The leaked roadmap suggests X-Men games might launch everywhere simultaneously. That’s huge when you consider how tightly Sony has held onto these Marvel exclusives. Could we be seeing the beginning of the end for PlayStation’s stranglehold on these blockbuster superhero titles? It certainly seems like Marvel wants their characters reaching the widest possible audience.
X-Men Goes Multiplatform
Now let’s talk about that potential multiplatform future. If the leaks are accurate – and Marvel’s recent comments in Game Informer certainly suggest they might be – we could be looking at a fundamental shift in how these big Marvel games are distributed. Sony’s exclusivity has been great for PlayStation, but has it limited Marvel’s reach? Probably.
Think about it – X-Men has a massive fanbase across all platforms. Releasing simultaneously on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC would maximize revenue and cultural impact. And given how much money Disney likes to make, that multiplatform approach just makes business sense. The question is whether Sony will play along or if we’ll see some renegotiation of their exclusive deals.
Basically, we’re witnessing the evolution of AAA gaming partnerships in real time. What started as a PlayStation-exclusive relationship might be maturing into something much bigger. And honestly, it’s about time – superhero fans shouldn’t be locked into one ecosystem to experience these stories.
