A key developer onMarvel’s Wolverineis the second in just three months to departSonyand link up with The Witcher and Cyberpunk studioCD Projekt Red.
Former Marvel’s Wolverine story lead Mary Kenney took toLinkedIn(thanks,PlayStation Lifestyle) to announce: “Today was my first day as a senior writer at CD Projekt RED … I can’t wait to talk more about my project, I’m thrilled to be getting back into RPGs, and my team is talented, welcoming, and just flat-out cool.”
Kenney joinedInsomniacin March 2019 and was a writer on 2020’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and 2021’s Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart before signing on to co-lead the narrative team of Marvel’s Wolverine.
This comes just three months after Marvel’s Wolverine art directorAaron Habibipour himself left Sony to join CDPRas art director on theCyberpunk 2077 sequel Project Orion, which had previouslyrecruited veteran developers from Control, Diablo, Mortal Kombat, and BioWare RPGs.
It’s unclear which one of the manyupcoming CDPR gamesKenney will be working on, nor in what capacity, but I’d be willing to hazard a guess that it’s a narrative-related position given her pedigree.
Marvel’s Wolverine was revealed in September 2021, which was somehow almost three years ago, in a brief teaser showing the titular superhero drinking at a bar. We haven’t seen anything official from the game since then, not countingleaksand rumorsof course, and there’s still no official release date or window. Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb speculated early last year that it could release “as early as” Fall 2024, butas of December 2023it was still in “early production,” making a release this year unlikely.
Marvel’s Wolverine is one of manyupcoming PS5 gamesto keep on your radar.
