In a recent announcement, Sony has officially confirmed that fans will have to wait longer for two of its most anticipated titles: Marvel’s Wolverine and Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. During a presentation detailing the company’s annual sector performance, both games were classified under the “Upcoming” section, indicating they will not be released within the current fiscal year, which ends on March 31, 2026.
Understanding the delay
The delay of these titles might leave some fans feeling disappointed, especially since both games were eagerly awaited. Marvel’s Wolverine, developed by Insomniac Games, was first revealed during the PlayStation Showcase in 2021, and since then, little has been shared about its progress. Similarly, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet by Naughty Dog is shrouded in mystery, with no further details released since its initial announcement.
What does this mean for the future?
With the new timeline, it looks like at least one of these games may release sometime in 2026, likely falling into the fiscal year 2027, which concludes on March 31, 2027. However, until official release dates are confirmed, uncertainty remains. In contrast, other titles like Ghost of Yōtei from Sucker Punch Productions and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach from Kojima Productions are slated as the major releases for this year, both expected before the fiscal year’s end in March 2026.
Insights from Naughty Dog
Neil Druckmann, president of Naughty Dog, has also revealed that the studio is currently working on an unannounced project. Unfortunately, details about this new title remain vague, making it difficult to speculate on its release date. Given the current timeline of game development, it seems unlikely that this project will be ready for the next fiscal year. Yet, it’s always possible that surprises await us in the gaming world.
Upcoming releases to look forward to
While waiting for Marvel’s Wolverine and Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet might be challenging, there are still exciting titles to anticipate. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is set to launch on June 26 for PS5, followed closely by Ghost of Yōtei on October 2, also for PS5. These upcoming releases should provide some solace to fans eager for new gaming experiences.
Were these announcements premature?
As we reflect on the situation, one might wonder if Marvel’s Wolverine and Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet were announced too soon. The initial reveal of Marvel’s Wolverine at the 2021 PlayStation Showcase has left many fans waiting in anticipation without further updates. Recently, a leak showcased an incomplete build of the game, adding to the speculation surrounding its development. The gaming community remains hopeful for more information in the near future.
