Marvel's Wolverine
Insomnia Games revealed they aren't done with creating Marvel games and they also confirmed that they're happy to expand beyond the Spider-Man franchise too. We were only shown a teaser for Marvel's Wolverine which also means, no gameplay and nothing to hint towards the story. The teaser was of Wolverine sitting in a bar with various knocked out patrons which looked rather similar to the iconic X-Men scenes.
There's no release year yet but Insomniac Games will be keeping us updated.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2
Apparently, Insomniac Games wasn't done and they've been very busy. They also revealed that a new Spider-Man game is already in development. Similar to the Wolverine game, not much was revealed by Venom was featured in the trailer. The game isn't due for release until 2023.
