The highly anticipated Wolverine game from Insomniac Games has the same universe as their Spider-Man releases, according to a recent update that has the Marvel gaming community talking. The announcement was made by Bryan I ntihar, the creative director behind Spider-Man 2. When asked how these games are related to one another, host Greg Miller of Kinda Funny Games had a brief response: "They're all 1048." This fascinating information provides an interesting look into the vast Marvel video game universe.
This reference to "1048" refers to a Marvel world update that unites these two exciting game franchises. For fans of Wolverine and Spider-Man alike, the idea of possible crossovers and shared stories is exciting.
But those hoping for a Wolverine reference or cameo in the Spider-Man games might be let down. In response to questions over Wolverine's oversight from the Spider-Man comics, Intihar said, "There was a decision not to do it." I believe that we decided to let that staff cook for the time being. Who knows what the future may bring, but for now, let them do what they do best." It appears that the creators want each game to be able to function alone while yet opening up options for expansion.
In September 2021, a PlayStation Showcase event featured the unveiling of both the Wolverine and Spider-Man 2 games. According to reports at the time, the Wolverine title was still in "very early development." Directors Brian Horton and Cameron Christian, who previously worked as creative leads on Spider-Man: Miles Morales, will be directing this stand-alone event.
The head of studio relations and franchise strategy at Insomniac, Ryan Schneider, provided some information about their approach for the Wolverine project:
"In the vein of our Spider-Man games, our goal here is to not only respect the DNA of what makes the character so popular but also look for opportunities to make it feel fresh and truly reflect the Insomniac spirit. Even though Marvel's Wolverine is very early in development, from what I've seen of its emotional narrative and cutting-edge gameplay, the team is already creating something truly special."
Fans of these valued characters can look forward to an exciting future in the Marvel gaming universe thanks to these developments, which also demonstrate Insomniac Games' passion to creating excellent experiences that pay tribute to the spirit of these lasting superheroes while including new and cutting-edge elements.
