What if Marvel’s Wolverine is hiding something MUCH bigger than we realize—and Insomniac is about to give us Hulk vs. Wolverine, Magneto recruiting Logan, or the beginning of their own X-Men?

On this episode of Beyond The Play, we’re diving into everything we currently know about Marvel’s Wolverine and giving our 3 MASSIVE BOLD PREDICTIONS for what could actually happen in Insomniac’s upcoming game.

And there is A LOT to talk about.

Insomniac has continued revealing more about Logan’s story, including the game’s brutal combat, Jean Grey, the larger mutant world, locations including Madripoor, Canada and Japan, and Logan’s complicated history with Team X. The official prequel comic also explores Team X and its mission to protect mutantkind.

The game releases September 15 on PlayStation 5, so we’re getting dangerously close to finally seeing how all these pieces connect.

But this episode is about going beyond what Insomniac has confirmed.

We’re making THREE massive predictions.

Could we actually see HULK VS. WOLVERINE?

That is one of the most iconic matchups in Wolverine history. Logan literally debuted in The Incredible Hulk, so giving players a massive Hulk boss fight would be an incredible way for Insomniac to honor that history while delivering a fight completely different from anything we’ve seen in their Marvel universe.

Then there’s Magneto.

With mutants becoming increasingly important to Insomniac’s universe, could Magneto appear and attempt to recruit Logan?

Logan is exactly the type of mutant Magneto could potentially view as an ally: powerful, angry, persecuted, and someone who has experienced firsthand what humanity is capable of doing to mutants.

And what if all of this is secretly building toward something even bigger?

The X-Men.

We already know Jean Grey plays a major role in the game, and Insomniac is clearly building out a larger mutant corner of its Marvel universe.

Could Marvel’s Wolverine ultimately become the foundation for an Insomniac X-Men game?

In this episode of Beyond The Play, we discuss the latest Marvel’s Wolverine information, Logan’s story, Insomniac’s Marvel universe, Jean Grey, Team X, the mutant mythology, and our three bold predictions for the game.

Some might happen.

Some might be completely insane.

But if even ONE of these happens…

We are going to lose our minds.

What is YOUR boldest prediction for Marvel’s Wolverine?

The rest of 2026 gaming looks absolutely stacked.

Welcome back to Beyond the Play! In Episode 7, we’re diving into our most anticipated games for the rest of 2026, and this year is not slowing down at all. From massive open-world releases to brutal superhero action, long-awaited Xbox comebacks, stylish action games, fighting games, remakes and new franchise entries, the back half of 2026 could be one of the biggest stretches gaming has had in years.

In this episode, we talk about the games we cannot wait to play, the ones we’re cautiously optimistic about, and the releases that could completely take over the gaming conversation.

Of course, we have to talk about Grand Theft Auto VI, which is now set to launch on November 19, 2026 according to Rockstar Games. GTA 6 is not just one of the biggest games of 2026 — it is one of the most anticipated games of all time, and the question now is whether it can possibly live up to the insane level of hype.

We also dive into Marvel’s Wolverine, Insomniac’s upcoming single-player action-adventure game launching on PlayStation 5 on September 15, 2026. After what Insomniac has done with Spider-Man, Wolverine feels like the next massive Marvel gaming moment, especially with a darker, bloodier, more brutal Logan-focused story.

On top of that, we talk about games like Phantom Blade Zero, Marvel TOKON: Fighting Souls, Halo: Campaign Evolved, Gears of War: E-Day, and so much more. Halo: Campaign Evolved is especially interesting because it is a remake of the original Halo: Combat Evolved, with reporting pointing to a 2026 release and a major multiplatform moment for the franchise.

This episode is all about the biggest gaming questions left in 2026:

Which game are we most hyped for?

Can GTA 6 possibly meet expectations?

Is Marvel’s Wolverine about to become one of the best superhero games ever made?

Can Gears of War: E-Day bring the franchise back in a huge way?

Is Halo: Campaign Evolved the right move for the future of Halo?

Could Phantom Blade Zero be the stylish action game that surprises everyone?

And is Marvel TOKON: Fighting Souls about to give Marvel fans a fighting game worth obsessing over?

In this Beyond the Play Episode 7 podcast, we break down our most anticipated games for the rest of 2026, discuss the state of PlayStation, Xbox and Marvel gaming, and debate which upcoming releases we think could dominate the rest of the year.

Games discussed in this episode include:

Grand Theft Auto VI
Marvel’s Wolverine
Phantom Blade Zero
Marvel TOKON: Fighting Souls
Halo: Campaign Evolved
Gears of War: E-Day
And more upcoming 2026 games

Beyond the Play is back, and this episode dives into one of the biggest conversations happening in gaming right now: GTA 6, physical media, digital ownership, PlayStation’s future, Xbox layoffs, and what all of this means for players and collectors.

In this episode, we break down the latest around Grand Theft Auto VI preorders, Rockstar’s physical version being a box with a download code inside, and why that has sparked so much debate among gamers who still care about owning physical games. Rockstar says digital preorders allow pre-loading on November 12 ahead of the November 19, 2026 launch, while the physical version available November 12 contains a download code inside the box rather than a disc.

That opens up a much bigger conversation.

Are physical games actually dying? Are we moving into a future where “physical copies” are just empty boxes with codes? What does that mean for game preservation, collectors, reselling, lending games to friends, and actually owning the media we pay for?

We also dive into PlayStation’s reported move away from physical media. Reuters reported that Sony plans to stop producing physical discs for all new PlayStation games starting January 2028, with new releases moving to digital distribution through the PlayStation Store and digital retailers.

That is massive.

For years, players have debated digital convenience versus physical ownership, but now the industry seems to be pushing harder than ever toward a future where the disc drive becomes less important, ownership becomes more complicated, and preservation becomes a bigger concern.

Then we get into GTA 6 pricing theories, preorder editions, whether Rockstar can get away with charging more than the normal premium game price, and what this could mean for the entire AAA gaming industry. GTA 6 is not just another release — it is the game every other publisher is watching.

And of course, we also talk about what is happening with Xbox.
