Marvel's Wolverine is in the Same Situation as Starfield

Despite being on different sides of the platform fence, Marvel’s Wolverine and Starfield have some interesting similarities—from a marketing point of view. Marvel’s Wolverine was confirmed with a brief teaser back in September 2021, and as it stands, fans know next to nothing about it. Indeed, given Insomniac Games’ Spider-Man 2 isn’t set for release until 2023, it’s likely Wolverine won’t manifest until 2024.

Meanwhile, Bethesda revealed Starfield back at E3 2018 and went almost immediately dark with the game. It is set to release this November, but despite its existence being since known then, the amount of information out there about Starfield isn’t necessarily concrete. There’s still a lot to be said, but just likeWolverine, hype is incredibly high for Starfield. The comparisons, in terms of fan reaction and anticipation, go back to one common element of the industry.
