Fans think Insomniac Games may be gearing up to start shooting Marvel’s Wolverine motion capture, and it doesn’t appear to be a stretch. Mike Yosh, a lead animator at the Burbank developer whose resume confirms he’s working on the upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusive, took a photograph of a motion capture stage with the caption: “So peaceful and quiet – it will not be like this for long.”
Yosh previously worked on cinematics for Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, among others, and so would likely be present at motion capture sessions. Of course, these could be test shoots for prototype purposes – we got the impression Marvel’s Wolverine was barely out of the concept phase when it was announced by Sony last year, so don’t go expecting this title any time soon.
All the same, we’d love to be a fly on the wall in that motion capture studio, if only to get a flavour for what Insomniac Games has got cooking. Which direction are you expecting it to take with Marvel’s Wolverine? Put your claws away in the comments section below.

If Spider-Man 2 launches in 2023 then this is most likely 2024. Maybe 2025. Insomniac is pretty good at getting games out with their multiple teams.
Wolverine is played by Noddy Holder.
I'm guessing Sony and Marvel will want a 2024 release since that Wolverine's 50th anniversary.

@AdamNovice
I hope they have a Hulk fight in the game to celebrate.
Hell, make Hulk the main antagonist. That would be amazing.
But I’m expecting they’ll pick someone like Silver Samurai or Mr. Sinister.
@OrtadragoonX My educated guess will be Romulus as the main antagonist, he's been key in a lot of Logan's events so it would make sense they will have him in.
Whatever Insomniac are on I would love to know. This team can’t stop making games!
@mrtennis1990
nor they should stop. They are the best there is at what they do, but what they do best isn't very nice, its totally awesome
@avatarian agreed!
Insomniac has been the best purchase! A fraction of the cost of Zenimax, yet they put out about a third of the Zenimax volume and their games are typically spot on!
@4kgk2 not sure they ever really had a chance and both Bethesda and insomniac make great games. Nice cheap shot attempt but both studios will have some great games out this Gen. I am more looking forward for the multiplayer game , cause i prefer to watch marvel movies over playing them as a game. Not saying the games aren’t good but i am more excited to see what creative writing and characters insomniac will create in that game vs knowing what’s in a marvel game.
@Rural-Bandit you can have fun with fallout 76 in space while I play spider man 2. Bethesda screwed me over with fallout 76 I will never forgive them.
@4kgk2 fallout 76 was the CEO and investors forcing online games and micro transactions in wolfenstein so they could sell high. Hence why they were for sale and employees voiced their opinions on those rushed games. You can enjoy Spider-man 2 as can i , only i can and will be playing Starfield, elder scrolls 6 and the next Fallout. I support all good games in the industry and am very confident in both Bethesda and Insomniac.
@Rural-Bandit You know he always makes ps fanboy comments.
Linear or open world?
@RevGaming of course, and would it surprise me one bit that when a killer game from Bethesda comes out, he will complain that MS owns them and he cant play it blah blah blah ? Not in the slightest and it will happen, you use know it! Haha
@RevGaming by the way buddy Sony Direct today has PS5’s in stock, i just missed getting one. I already have mine. But i thought i would sell it to a friend or if anyone on here in the USA needed and wanted to pay shipping i would ship it to them all at cost. They wouldn’t pay a Penny over.
@AdamNovice
I'm liking all of your comments just because of your profile pic, lol
Just kidding, i actually agree with most of them😜😜😂😂
@RevGaming If I’m a ps fanboy for telling the truth then I be a proud ps fanboy.
@AdamNovice @PSfan4Life22 As perfect as it'd be for the game to launch in 2024 for Wolverine's 50th anniversary, it's still in very early development far as I know.
I'm predicting a Summer 2025 release, but of course I'd love to be proven wrong.
@Rural-Bandit @RevGaming there is nothing wrong with being a fan boy..i myself have stated numerous times that i am unappologeticaly a playstation fan boy..what is a problem is the toxic levels some of them can exhibit..thats the problem right there,the inability to communicate ones oppinions without resorting to abusive behaviour..
@4kgk2 insomniac wasn't Microsoft's demographic for studios. They only had one IP to their name. Since Sony owned all of Insomniac's best IP. It made sense to go with Sony.
Ha this is the game I have high expectation and counting on insomniac to go even beyond what they usually do which is already great.
A more mature and grounded tone.
👍🏻
Indeed they are the best investment and keep showing that not everything is just about throwing an obscene amount of money 🤢 at to make it work. It’s just a fact.
I doubt people learn though.
@PhhhCough Linear I believe
@Northern_munkey
Your right but I’d argue it’s just as bad to look down on people and try make whatever they say irrelevant by labelling them as ‘fan boi’. You know the intent is meant to be derogatory. It’s often projecting too with a lot of console warriors calling everyone else ‘fan boi’. Term should be moderated here.
A bit similar to what I used to see in IGN comments with people ridiculously calling one another ‘kid’ ending all their replies with it haha
Absolute non sense.
They should meanwhile make remake of Wolverine from PS3. 🙂 That was supergreat game. 😀
@Northern_munkey No. Being biased is not ok. In any area.
@Rural-Bandit Not paying attention to ps5 stock since I have one. As soon as I know starfield is good and I know I saw gameplay from their upcoming games I will start looking for a series x. I hope there isn't much demand. I saw that there was a full day of series x being available on amazon
@RevGaming well unfortunately humans are not perfect and we all display a "bias" towards something at some times in our lives which is ok..its how you put yourself across and conduct yourself..you say having a bias is not ok but you just displayed your "bias" towards people that are "biased." Any how have a good one 👍
The graphics for this game will be insane.
@nessisonett It’s XMENUSSSS!!
@Northern_munkey you are 100% correct. No one cares what system a person likes best and buys. It’s the behavior that comes with it. I own all 3 and have my favorites or like something about one more than the other. But try and talk in a reasonable manner about the industry as a whole. It’s called maturity,, some have more or less of it than others haha
@RevGaming look at the sales numbers there is plenty of demand for all 3 really. Xbox has been putting up big sales numbers, but getting a lot more stock out lately. Hopefully by early 2023 the chip shortage will get better, maybe not back to normal, but hopefully better.
@OrtadragoonX My dream debut in the MCU for Wolverine is that they make him the antagonist in a Hulk film (or a film heavily featuring Hulk). Have him start as a mercenary sent to hunt down Hulk and whomever he's with, sort of like the comics.
As the heroes fight him they uncover bits of his past with Weapon X and that's how it's revealed he's a mutant. Use him being turned to a good guy by the end of that film as the stepping stone for the revelation of the mutant presence in the broader world.
@Northern_munkey I don't think "we're humans" should be an excuse to having a bias being fine. We have the capacity to be neutral and understand other sides. It's not having a bias against people who have a bias. It's knowing that you can understand the shoes of another person's interests. It seems too that you're describing preference and not bias.
@Rural-Bandit In my country, Xbox are easier to find. Most of the people here play Playstation, even in the days of 360, which was tied globally, it was mostly Playstation here. Not sure if globally is the same but it seems like it. I think PS5 would be at 30m or more sold today if there was available stock. Not sure about xbox. That's the feeling I got for looking for a ps5 physically and online. Gamepass is great for millions, but people have their library on PS already and at this moment, like I said in other comments, games-wise it's still a halo gears and forza box. That will change drastically so it's why I think it won't be as much as a problem finding one. As soon as those Starfield reviews hit hot, I'm looking for one the next day.
@RevGaming yeah PS is huge globally, much more than Xbox. In the USA where i am, Xbox One wasn’t even that far behind the PS4 so i fully expect Xbox to be right there or in the lead in the US this Generation. Globally is a whole different story and areas the Xbox Brand needs to continue to grow in. They grew 17% with the series x in the same time as the 360 so it’s looking like a great turn around. Globally PS5 is now up 4.7 million units on the Series Consoles, but thats with MS keeping a ton of X’s back to update their world wide centers of cloud servers for Xcloud. Not sure the numbers of that so can’t say how many more that would have sold had they not needed to do that. However and many PS gamers miss this point, MS’s strategy reaches more users and can and will sell more volume going forward. When you take a game like say Call of Duty, sony can sell that to around 120 million players, xbox can sell it to 800 million users via Xbox, PC and cloud. even Jim Ryan said his goal is to find a way for more people to play PS titles, cause he see’s MS strategy as a strength.
Console unit sales are only a fraction of the whole Pie now. It will take time for this strategy of MS’s to really gain more attention, but gamers are loving it. People said if Xbox games are on PC no one will buy a Xbox, but Series is growing at 17% faster than 360.
So that argument is just more old hat talking vs modern day facts.
I hear and understand people that say but i don’t care about mobile and cloud, i get it, i don’t either for the most part, cause i don’t run a business, if i did i would look at how much money Apple makes in gaming and would want even 20% of that or more. It towers console money, so MS is smart to be entering that area and in years to come Sony will be more active in the mobile and PC space for more profits. I am not here to say console gaming is dying, I never believed that, but i follow the industry close to know it’s changing as it always has been and the ones that don’t either fold or lose money to others. All that babble to say my prediction is PS5 will end around 115 million and Series will do 80. Neither number is bad and Switch will just fall short of PS2(DVD player)
Unless they make a pro and extend it’s life 2-3 more years.
@Rural-Bandit
I think 60-70m is being pretty far behind. I'm not too sure about USA, we can't really tell unless stocks are filled, but at least in my country all I see ads for PS5, scalpers selling them on ads, asking people on the line what they were getting (some said they got tired and got a series x) etc.
The thing is, you can't make a game that appeals to mobile users AND console users. Both like games for different reasons. It's like Sony going back to making psp games.
@RevGaming Oh for sure the 60 million plus lead for PS4 was a easy and commanding win, but in the USA Xbox always does most of it sales there was my point. But this is far from Xbox one and the world is large and far and Xbox is crushing it right now in sales and thats without heavy flexing of it’s 32 studios. When they start to fire, they will be a decent force this Gen and gain market share. Sony will easily sell it’s brand as will Nintendo when they have the games and right strategy. Sony is clearly the more popular brand, this is about how much market share can MS claw back and i believe it’s a good share and in the USA i believe they will be an equal or maybe even lead.
@RevGaming ok i'm going to leave this as its obvious that its ok for you to be "biased" but nobody else..no need to reply thanks..respect my difference of oppinion and have a good weekend 👍
@Rural-Bandit Xbox Series has all the power to surpass the 360 in the end. We'll see.
@RevGaming i hope it does as it will make all 3 be healthy and competitive. It would be good for the industry to have all 3 selling well and making software companies more money.
@OrtadragoonX vs Hulk and vs Wendigo would be really fun, just like the comic book story.
Daamn first batman , then spider-man , and now WOLVERINE!!! i ***** love it ! all the S tier heroes is getting games ! All that’s missing is HULK AND SUPERMAN
