PlayStation's Wolverine Release Date FINALLY Revealed! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 02.24.26

·1 hr 5 min·4 clips

Marvel’s Wolverine is set for PS5 on September 15, 2026, two months before GTA 6.

1. Kinda Funny Games Daily on February 24, 2026 centers on PlayStation’s Marvel’s Wolverine date, Blizzard’s Overwatch Rush, and Amazon shutting down King of Meat. 2. Blessing Adeoye Jr. hosts the show, and Madeline Stanley joins as the guest because she streams horror games and reacts to the news in real time. 3. The episode asks whether Wolverine’s September 15, 2026 date, Overwatch’s mobile expansion, and King of Meat’s shutdown say anything about where games marketing and release schedules are headed. 4. Madeline explains her Twitch channel, twitch.tv/madexposure, and her Sunday Scaries series, where February has become “Feb-ri-ary” with Resident Evil games. 5. She says she finished RE2 and RE4 remakes and has just started Resident Evil 7, while Blessing compares RE2’s horror pacing with RE4’s more action-heavy style. 6. Blessing says Resident Evil Requiem could become the ideal mix of horror and action, and he plans a marathon stream with Andy Cortez on Friday. 7. The Wolverine story begins when Blessing reads Andy Robinson’s Video Games Chronicle report confirming Marvel’s Wolverine for PS5 on September 15, 2026. 8. Madeline says she is excited but wants to see more gameplay before setting expectations, and Blessing points to Insomniac’s track record with Spider-Man, Ratchet, and Sunset Overdrive. 9. The hosts note that PlayStation posted only key art and a date on Instagram, without a bigger trailer or State of Play segment. 10. Blessing argues that the timing may mean Insomniac hit an internal milestone and could safely commit to September, rather than waiting for summer. 11. The conversation repeatedly returns to GTA 6, because Wolverine’s date lands two months earlier and could help studios avoid direct overlap. 12. Blessing and Madeline also discuss whether the announcement might be a distraction from Bluepoint-related news, but they both treat that idea as speculative. 13. Madeline says the 2026 PlayStation lineup feels more exciting when dates are attached, and Blessing names Sorrows Marathon, Kena 2, and Wolverine as reasons the slate looks busy. 14. Blessing says Insomniac’s Wolverine already looks like the version he imagined, and he expects the studio to lean harder into violence than it does with Spider-Man. 15. The Overwatch segment follows Blizzard’s announcement that Overwatch Rush is a new top-down hero shooter made specifically for mobile. 16. Blessing notes that Blizzard says the game is not a port and is being built by a separate team with mobile experience, while Madeline says the gameplay looks like Overwatch translated surprisingly well to a phone screen. 17. The hosts compare the reaction to this announcement with the old Diablo Immortal backlash and say the timing matters because regular Overwatch had just been refreshed. 18. The episode keeps a live, conversational energy, with Blessing and Madeline answering super chats and riffing on chat comments throughout the rundown. 19. Listeners who follow PlayStation, Xbox-style news cycles, or Resident Evil talk will get the most out of this episode. 20. Listeners who want a tightly focused interview or no release-date debate may skip it.
