Marvel’s Wolverine is an upcoming title from developer Insomniac Games, best known for its work on the Marvel’s Spider-Man and Ratchet and Clank series. The studio’s unique take on the Spider-Man universe has been widely successful, with each entry delivering a gripping, high-stakes narrative, and plenty of homages to the larger Marvel universe. Among its most direct homages come in the form of unlockable suits for Miles Morales, which reference characters and storylines from throughout Marvel’s storied history, including Wolverine. Though very different properties, Insomniac’s Wolverine should take after Miles’ suits, opening the door for Logan to return the favor, and then some.

Marvel’s Wolverine was announced during 2021’s PlayStation Showcase, and very few details have been officially released since. However, information on the game was leaked in December 2023, due to a massive data breach at Insomniac Games. Gameplay footage, plot details, voice actors, and some of the game’s source code were released on social media. The leak did not include suits and other cosmetics, leaving the feature as one of the few untouched elements in Wolverine’s alpha build.

Marvel's Spider-Man's Cameo Suits Pay Tribute to Popular Characters

The Marvel's Spider-Man series has no shortage of unlockable suits, with its most recent entry, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, boasting 80 unique outfits. Suits range from classic comic-book costumes to modern MCU offerings, with the addition of a few suits exclusive to Insomniac's Marvel universe. Many suits also boast unique stats or abilities, making players' choice of attire more than just cosmetic. However, fans of the wider Marvel universe also have the opportunity to pay homage to some of the company's most revered heroes, as each title offers a small selection of cameo suits for Miles Morales.

The first of Miles Morales’ cameo outfits is the "Forever" suit, inspired by Black Panther's MCU design, but with a large spider emblem in the middle of its chest. The second cameo outfit is the “Best There Is" suit, a not-so-subtle nod to Wolverine. Both suits also come with color variations, allowing for a greater level of player expression. While the “Forever” suits’ variations offer unique options that pay subtle homage to other Black Panther characters, the Best There Is suit features nods to Wolverine’s outfits throughout the years.

Wolverine's Cameo Suits Can Pay Tribute to a Variety of Marvel Properties

Should Insomniac decide to continue the cameo suit trend in Marvel's Wolverine, the characters' history of cross-overs would provide plenty of options. Suits based on Hulk, Elektra, Captain America, Deadpool, and Spider-Man, himself, could all be featured, as well as some of Wolverine's fellow X-men. Additionally, suits based on other members of the Wolverine family, such as X-23, Akihiro, and Gabby, could make an appearance as well. While cameo suits are unlikely to be announced as a feature of Marvel's Wolverine until closer to release, the variety of options at Insomniac's disposal leaves the door open to a host of exciting and unexpected crossovers.

There's truly no shortage of suits that could be adapted into Marvel's Wolverine. However, fans will need to wait and see which, if any, are included at the time of release. Following in the footsteps of the Marvel's Spider-Man series, Marvel's Wolverine would do well to feature cameo suits of its own. Until more details about the title's cosmetics, suits, and equipment are shared by an official channel, one can hold out hope that Marvel's Wolverine will continue the best trends from Insomniac's Spider-Man titles.
