Me either, I think its 2024 PS5 Pro launch game.
Nah, development started in 2020, Insomniac revealed it in 2021. Miles morales and Rift Apart teams are both working on it, and Spider-Man 2 devs started movin over to Wolverine since early 2023. Insomniac isn't the type of studio to reveal a game 4+ years away. It's definitely possible without a miracle, especially for one of the most talented and efficient studios in the entire industry. Worst case scenario it gets pushed to q1 2025, but I can see 2024 q4
I'd say it's only a personal guess made by he artist. I could see Wolverine released in 2024, but I think it's maybe even more likely to see it released in 2025.
Maybe these were the original dates that Sony originally was targeting, but as very usual they pretty likely would get later delayed.
Regarding Bend's new IP, I wouldn't expect a 2025 release. I think that instead 2026 or 2027 releases are more likely.
If thats true then that would be amazing.
Means Insomniac will release 5 (or 4.5) games From 2018. Spiderman, Miles Morales, Ratchet and Clank, Spiderman 2 and Wolverine...
Whereas Bend will only release 1 since 2019-2025.
Whatever Insomaniac is doing, studio size, multiple studios, money.
Sony need to do the same for the other big studios Santa Monica, Naughty Dog, Guerilla, Sucker Punch.
Imagjne they all had a similar output

They say they give incentives to get productivity through the roof. Here is the live feed of their office's web cam:
*This is not sugar or flour.
Wolverine is set in Manhattan this time, that will speedup the release schedule.
Do we know if it's openworld? I'd rather have a game with linear "levels" for wolverine.

Yeah Spiderman combat isn't for this! I'm sure thyll nail a diff flavor tht fits!
I don’t think it started in 2020 the Miles Morales team is working on this and they were wrapping that up in 2020. If this did start development in 2020 remember, there was a pandemic. Studios were closed, so how much work did they even get done? We only got a CG trailer in 2021 and they didn’t start Mo-Cap work until early 2022. Also the Rift Apart team is working on a multiplayer title.

Studios weren’t closed, they were working remotely, it’s how Miles Morales was able to be shipped in 2020 at launch during the pandemic. Pre production of Wolverine ended in 2020, non programming Miles Morales devs (concept artists, writers, animators, etc) moved on to Wolverine months before MM released. Full development started in 2021 after their holiday break. Not everyone from Rift Apart went to the multiplayer game, many went to work on Wolverine. The multiplayer title was in the much earlier stages and didn’t require as many people. Which is why it still hasn’t been revealed yet.
We know it won't be open world. I highly doubt it would be based in Manhattan.
It should be Madripoor
[Rumor] Marvel's Wolverine is planned for 2024, Bend Studio's unannounced project for 2025, according to a professional ArtStation profile
I can believe Wolverine. IG are on another level when it comes to timely game releases.

My concern is Melee combat or comat in general. It wasn’t on the level of Naughty Dog, Santa Monica, Sucker Punch or even Guerilla
Well, Bend debuted in a lot of things with Days Gone: first AAA game for home consoles in several generations, first open world game, first Unreal Engine game, first time they had -I think- vehicles plus the horde stuff, first new IP in many decades and so on.
They had to spend a lot of work on many areas that were new for them so didn't have time to polish all to the max.
In this new IP they'll build on top of what they had for Days Gone, meaning a lot of work they did for DG won't be needed to be made again for the new IP. That means they'll have time to polish things as could be melee combat.
It will also depend on the subgenre and focus of the game: if it's something more action/combat focused they'll polish more things like combat or melee combat. If instead it's something more like an adventure where the focus is the narrative and combat is something very secondary they'll work less on it.
