It is worth noting that Wonder Woman and Black Panther were being developed by teams under EA and Warner Brothers. The entire gaming industry has been hit with massive layoffs and game cancellations left and right. But the situation with WW and BP are not necessarily the same as with Wolverine. Insomniac has a proven track record of making successful Marvel character games, and are therefore likely to be able to release Wolverine without much issue, like lack of funding or upper management interference. So I think it’s a little disingenuous to a compare these other two situations 1:1 to Wolverine. As we know there was a playable build years ago via leaks.

Even saying that, with ballooning development costs and increased dev time, it is entirely likely Iron Man could yet be cancelled. And again, I would not be surprised. It’s also under the umbrella of EA, but by different developers from the BP game, of course. But Wolverine may be having issues behind the scenes as well. It’s been radio silence on all counts.

The Captain America/Black Panther WWII game is still reportedly coming. We just heard a week or so ago from the team at Skydance Games it’s been delayed to 2026. Arkane Studios was expected to be shuttered by Xbox before, after their last game was a flop. We haven’t heard anything about it since its announcement three years ago, so I would not be surprised if Blade never saw the light of day. But hopefully I’m wrong about that one. It was announced before they started working on it. So it could be coming along just fine, but we won’t see much about it for another year or two.

And in all of these cases, the license fee for any studio to use a Marvel property is astronomical. You would think that Warner Brothers don’t have this issue with DC characters so I will not speak on that. But it is costing Sony an arm and a leg to make Spider-Man & Wolverine. If the studio heads thinks they’re not gonna recoup the dev costs then they’re gonna abandon ship. Disappointment for millions of fans and sometimes literal thousands of hard working developers, is just a tax write off to the rich suits making these calls.

And finally, a lot of the these games were announced to the public before development had even truly began. Games take a long time to make these days, and a lot can happen. There are many games that were worked on for years that got cancelled at the last minute for one reason or the other, but the general public was not informed of these things in the past. I definitely think these studios jumping the gun with announcements has made a huge impact on distrust with the player base. Just one of many reasons why AAA game development looks so bleak right now.
