PS5 Fans Think Sony Is Pushing God of War Laufey Harder Than Wolverine

As a huge Marvel fan, I’m getting so hyped for Wolverine on PS5 – it’s coming out September 15th, 2026! It’s funny though, because Sony’s been showing off God of War Laufey a lot more lately, you’d think that one was coming out first. They’re saying God of War won’t be here until sometime next year, but the way Sony’s been talking about both games, it’s easy to get them mixed up!

PlayStation fans have noticed a lot of promotion for God of War Laufey on social media recently.

Since the recent PlayStation 5 presentation, PlayStation’s social media has been heavily promoting the upcoming game featuring Faye. They’ve been sharing the 23-minute gameplay video and interviews related to it. Some fans have noticed this focus and are wondering why Marvel’s Wolverine isn’t receiving the same level of promotion, especially since Wolverine doesn’t have a confirmed release date yet.

It is true that PlayStation’s social media marketing has focused far more on God of War Laufey than Marvel’s Wolverine since the State of Play showcase.

From the main PlayStation account on Twitter / X, there have been 11 posts about God of War Laufey. On the other side, Marvel’s Wolverine has received just four. To be clear, I am counting all the tweets that have followed after State of Play and the initial posts that shared each news piece from the livestream.

Fans of the brand are picking up on this detail and think it points to God of War Laufey coming soon, which is a scenario that’s been suggested by reliable sources since the reveal:

I’ve noticed PlayStation’s been showing a lot more of God of War Laufey than Wolverine since the State of Play, and it got me thinking… is there more to it than just which game they’re prioritizing? Maybe there are other factors influencing how much they’re promoting each one?

Okay, so we’ve known about Marvel’s Wolverine for ages, and the recent gameplay demo pretty much confirmed what we already suspected: it’s a story-driven, single-player action game that really feels like Wolverine. Honestly, Insomniac has made such great superhero games before, I think Sony is pretty confident people will buy it based on that reputation alone. They seem to think it’s a safe bet!

Compared to God of War Laufey, it’s a new mainline title, but it’s also one with a protagonist that isn’t Kratos. Sony has to get that in front of as many eyes as possible.

Then, the State of Play simply brought with it considerably more footage for God of War Laufey than it did Marvel’s Wolverine. The gameplay look for Marvel’s Wolverine that opened the showcase was seven and a half minutes long; the God of War Laufey reveal was just shy of 24 minutes.

Around the announcement, Sony also published multiple developer interviews that took deep dives into the series as a whole, the combat in Laufey, the character of Faye, and the cast. There’s simply far more footage and details for Sony to promote compared to what Marvel’s Wolverine had to offer, allowing it to push more videos to its many followers across social media.
