Marvel's game and publishing footprint is scheduled to change through the rest of 2026: Marvel Unlimited ends service on December 7, a WEBTOON-run Marvel Comics app launches November 16, and Marvel's Wolverine, released for PS5 on September 15, 2026, is in stores. A Kadokawa manga partnership put five titles on KadoComi in October 2026.
Marvel's publishing side is moving operators. Marvel Unlimited ends service December 7, 2026, about 19 years after it launched in 2007. A new app called Marvel Comics, run by WEBTOON, launches November 16 with more than 35,000 comics at roughly the same subscription price. Purchased comics transfer through redemption codes and libraries stay readable until December 21 before the app is removed on December 28.

Sony's QSSR AI upscaling patch added an option to the game on October 2, alongside Ghost of Yotei.
Sony also placed Marvel's Wolverine in an "Only On PS5" video on August 24, listing it with Astro Bot, SAROS, Gran Turismo 7, Ghost of Yotei, and God of War Laufey, and showing "PLAYSTATION 5 EXCLUSIVE" for each.
