WOLVERINE: Is Insomniac Teasing An Appearance From Daredevil In Upcoming Video Game?

Marvel fans remain desperate for a Daredevil video game, and a recent social post from Insomniac promoting this fall's Wolverine may be hinting at plans for the Man Without Fear.

One of 2026's most highly anticipated video game releases—outside of Grand Theft Auto VI, of course—is Marvel's Wolverine, the next superhero game from Insomniac. 

There's been no word on Spider-Man 3 or the rumoured Venom spin-off, suggesting the developer has poured all its energy into doing right by Logan. Now, many fans are convinced that Insomniac is teasing a Daredevil cameo in the clawed mutant's upcoming game.

The company's social media accounts recently posted, "'Claws'? What's that, some kind of fancy lawyer lingo?" It seems a bit of a stretch, yes, but this isn't the first time one of Insomniac's Marvel titles has hinted at plans for the Man Without Fear.

Spider-Man 2 revealed that Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson had been evicted from their Hell's Kitchen law practice, and Senior Creative Director Bryan Intihar said at the time that fans should "stay tuned."

So, is there a chance Wolverine will cross paths with Matt, setting the stage for a long-overdue Daredevil game in the process? It's a nice thought, and 'ol Hornhead certainly has a pretty storied history with Wolvie.

However, when Insomniac was hacked a few years ago, the entire plot of Wolverine was leaked and, spoiler alert, Daredevil wasn't among the characters featured. That doesn't mean we won't get a reference to the hero, but a full-blown appearance isn't likely. 

Believe it or not, it was way back in 2021 that we got the first teaser for Wolverine, so the game has been a very long time coming. Hopefully, it will be as much of a game-changer for this character (no pun intended) as Spider-Man was for everyone's favourite web-spinning superhero. 

Become a living weapon. As he searches for answers about his past, Wolverine will do whatever it takes – unleashing brutal claw combat, violent rage, and relentless determination – to cut through the mystery of the man he used to be.

From Insomniac Games, the developers of the critically acclaimed Marvel’s Spider-Man franchise, comes Marvel’s Wolverine, an all-new take on an iconic character based on Marvel Comics. Developed in collaboration with Marvel Games and Sony Interactive Entertainment, Marvel’s Wolverine is coming to PlayStation 5 consoles in Fall 2026.

I'll never forget how they had a whole thing in the first Spider-Man game about how the Avengers had left for San Francisco because they were planning to have it tie-in to the 2020 Avengers game which starts off in San Fran, but as soon as they realized people didn't like that game, they backtracked and said they were always separate universes.

@InfinitePunches - The main campaign was great. The end game stuff is what killed it.

Do people not realize that a DD game would just be DD in detective mode the whole time? Otherwise, the whole "being blind" thing doesn't really factor in, which means it's not really DD. If everything looks as though he has regular sight, how is it a DD game?

@Dabs - 3rd person is normal, 1st person is sonar mode

@Dabs - I think he'd be a cool side quest in a Spider-Man game.

🤔 💭 Utilize the six axis and vibration technology to create image from sound. Rain, controller taps, meditation (to elongate sonar timespans) could be an interesting concept.

@InfinitePunches - LOL

In all seriousness though, Daredevil's blindness does not have to be represented in the game design as any kind of constant factor for the player. This is almost like asking why half the screen isn't covered when you play as Snake in Metal Gear Solid. Should his blindness be represented? Yes. Part of the story, sure. Part of the gameplay? He could have a “detective vision” like Batman or something like Witcher senses that makes itself a tool when needed.

The echolocation would be a special move or a non combat mechanic like arkham games to plan your assault.

@InfinitePunches - This looks like the Spider-Sense from Shattered Dimensions

@MisterBones - So you want an Arkham Nightwing game with a blind guy?

@JayBird - why not? I would also reiterate that his blindness and echolocation can be a key element of the game that is woven into the fabric of the experience but it doesn't mean the entire game is visually a "world on fire" or "an all black world with purple-pink lines circulating around people as a response to the signal Matt's brain sends out."

It can be a tool that can be turned on and off at the player's discretion, activated during pertinent missions and story beats. Or simply an option to turn on and experience the entire game that way if you would like, like the different modes in Ghosts of Tsushima.

@MisterBones - Just kidding man, i would also love a DD Arkham like game, and we should be able to switch the sonar on and off just like Batman with Detective Mode, but i wouldn't place that responsibilty over Insomniac, i hated Spider-Man Gameplay, the combat feels weightless and not in a good "Spidey is very fast and light so he controls the battleground" but more like you can't feel the punches you're doing and neither does the dodge button worked pretty well
