2026 has been jam-packed with successful new gaming releases, but some of the best are yet to come in the final few months of the year. After being announced all the way back in September 2021 with a short teaser, Marvel’s Wolverine is finally set to be released next month on September 15, exclusively on PlayStation 5. The game launches courtesy of Insomniac Games, the same studio that has delivered all three entries in the critically acclaimed and successful Spider-Man trilogy. Following only two months after Marvel’s Wolverine is one of the biggest gaming launches in history, Grand Theft Auto 6. After the unprecedented longevity of Grand Theft Auto 5 and the colossal success of Red Dead Redemption 2 from 2018 to now, it’s safe to say expectations are sky-high for the next game from Rockstar.
One popular gaming franchise to emerge in recent years is Until Dawn, which was first announced in 2012 and later released in 2015. A full remake for the game was released in 2024 on next-generation consoles, and Sony even developed a feature film based on the game that was released last year. Until Dawn is owned by Sony, but Supermassive Games developed the original game, though the studio is not working on the sequel, Until Dawn 2. This morning, Supermassive Games took to its official X account to officially announce a round of mass layoffs, which will result “in the loss of up to 75 of our colleagues.” This is part of what the studio calls a “redundancy consultation process,” but it promises to provide proper support to all affected by the restructuring. The full statement can be found below.
Was the ‘Until Dawn’ Movie a Success?
Sony spent only $15 million on the making of the Until Dawn movie, meaning it needed between $30–40 million to break even, when also factoring in marketing costs and the splitting of ticket sales between studio and theater owners. The film smashed past this, grossing $54 million at the box office, despite mediocre scores of 51% from critics and 66% on Rotten Tomatoes. The film did receive a nomination at the 2025 Game Awards for Best Video Game Adaptation, but it did not win. Until Dawn has since found a streaming home on Netflix, where it’s had several runs into the top 10.
