Marvel's Wolverine dominates previews as GTA 6 preorders stun analysts

A wave of hands-on previews for Marvel's Wolverine landed today, painting a broadly encouraging picture of Insomniac Games' next PS5 exclusive. Outlets describe a game built around hunting for resources, brawling through nightmares, and drinking whiskey — while Insomniac confirmed a performance mode, a self-healing suit mechanic, and New Game Plus available from day one. The studio was also clear that this is not an origin story: Logan's adamantium skeleton and backstory are taken as given. On the disc front, Insomniac clarified the game will be fully playable without a day-one patch, which may put it among the last PlayStation releases to offer that.

Analysts are turning heads over GTA 6, with one expert suggesting preorder revenue alone could cover the game's production budget — a figure that underlines just how much commercial weight Rockstar's next title carries before it has even shipped. Embracer Group, still rebuilding after its restructuring, offered a more grounded outlook: Darksiders 4 and a new Kingdom Come title are both planned to arrive by the end of March 2028.

Mafia: The Omerta Collection was announced for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC, bundling the franchise for a new generation. A long-lost French novel that inspired Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is finally getting an English release after 22 years, giving fans of Sandfall Interactive's RPG a chance to read the source material. FFXIV is dealing with emergency maintenance worldwide today, and Helldivers 2 received the Devoid of Liberty update. Caravan SandWitch is currently free on the Epic Games Store for anyone who missed the indie last year.
