AlongsideSpider-Man 2, the studio has also been developing aWolverine-focused game, which similarly only got a short teaser trailer. UnlikeSpider-Man 2, the game is only confirmed to be in development and doesn’t have a set release date yet. Regardless, it’s only a matter of time before more info about it is officially unveiled.
