Marvel’s Wolverine Director Departs Insomniac to Take Charge of Perfect Dark
Marvel’s Wolverine on PS5 has a new leadership arrangement, according to a new report by Game File. Game File’s sources indicate that creative director Brian Horton has not been part of the project since mid-year, and that Wolverine’s game director Cameron Christian has since taken on a different role at Insomniac.
Wolverine’s new creative director is reportedly Marcus Smith, and its new game director is Mike Daly. Smith previously served as one of three creative directors on 2021’s Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and Daly as one of its three game directors.
For his part, Horton has since jumped the first-party fence to Xbox as the new creative director for Perfect Dark, which is being co-developed by The Initiative and Crystal Dynamics. Horton previously served as a game director on 2015’s Rise of the Tomb Raider at Crystal Dynamics, before a brief stint at Infinity Ward and subsequently joining Insomniac.
There's been little official word on Marvel's Wolverine since its 2021 announcement, although cyber thieves leaked a variety of details on the project in December 2023.
