Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Wolverine is approaching launch under an unwelcome cloud of spoilers. Clips from the PlayStation 5 exclusive have started circulating online, reportedly revealing boss encounters, unlockable content and the game’s closing moments. Fans now face a difficult final stretch before release, with major story details potentially appearing across social platforms.
The game follows Logan as he battles augmented Reavers, robotic Sentinels and the Hand while defending mutantkind. His journey also brings several recognisable Marvel characters into the story, including Jean Grey, Sabretooth, Mystique and Lady Deathstrike. As ever with Wolverine, loyalties are unlikely to remain simple for long.
Unlike Insomniac’s Spider-Man titles, this adventure is structured as a level-by-level action game rather than an open-world experience. That design has drawn criticism in some online circles, despite offering a format similar to 2009’s Origins, a game still widely remembered as a standout X-Men adaptation.
The reaction has also been shaped by broader controversy surrounding the project and its parent company. Insomniac staff have previously pushed back against online criticism, while social networks such as X and TikTok can amplify confident speculation regardless of how much evidence supports it. The latest footage adds another layer to an already difficult road towards launch.
What the Wolverine leaks reportedly show
Online posts containing footage from the completed game have begun leaking online. The material is said to include story and gameplay spoilers, while the ending and credits sequence have reportedly appeared in full. Anyone hoping to experience Logan’s campaign without advance knowledge should take care around searches, feeds and video recommendations.
It remains unclear how the footage was obtained. Possible explanations include retail copies being sold before their official date, promotional versions, or digitally obtained builds. There is no indication that the current circulation is connected to a blackmail campaign like the 2023 ransomware incident involving Rhysida, or the later leak episode associated with Grand Theft Auto VI.
Marvel’s Wolverine was already under intense scrutiny before these latest clips emerged. A substantial 2023 leak followed an earlier formal announcement of Insomniac’s wider Marvel universe, exposing information about the project and contributing to a turbulent development period. The reported spread of near-complete footage now risks overshadowing the game’s official launch campaign.
A spoiler warning for Australian players
For Australian fans following the game from home, the safest approach is to mute relevant keywords, avoid unverified video thumbnails and be cautious with social media replies. The leaked material reportedly covers not only isolated encounters but also the final portion of the campaign, making accidental spoilers especially difficult to avoid.
