Marvel Gameshas had a pretty great run over the last few years. TheLEGO Marvel Superheroesgames were great family-friendly adventures, theInsomniacSpider-Manserieshas continued to elevate the superhero video game genre,Guardians of the Galaxyhad some great writing, andMarvel Rivalsis already a major success, amassing over 20 million players within its first few weeks.
Things aren’t going quite as well for DC, however.Batman: Arkham Shadowis the one shining jewel amid a sea of disappointments for DC, withGotham KnightsandSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguedelivering a disastrous one-two-punch for the brand’s sales targets. It seems safe to say that 2025 is probably going to be a very different year forMarveland DC Games.
Marvel Games Could Have a Busy 2025
Marvel Rivals Will Keep Receiving New Content in 2025
Marvel’s latest success story,Marvel Rivalsis a 6v6 hero shooter that’s taken the gaming world by storm.

Marvel Rivalswill likely continue to receive new content throughout 2025. Its current season, Season 0, is said to be around half the length of a proper season. This means that fans can expectMarvel RivalsSeason 1to last around 2–3 months, meaning they can expect around 4–5 seasons of content in 2025.
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra Has a TBC 2025 Release Window
In October 2021, Skydance New Media announced a brand-new project in collaboration with Marvel games. In September 2022, this Marvel project received its first trailer, seemingly confirminga World War 2 settingand that Black Panther and Captain America would be the game’s central protagonists.

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydracurrently has a general release window of 2025. Even if the game gets delayed out of the year, fans can still expect to see at least agameplay trailer forMarvel 1943next year.
EA Could Reveal Its Two Marvel Games in 2025
Back in September 2022, EA Motive announced that it was working on an Iron Man game. In July 2023, EA confirmed another collaboration with Marvel, announcing a Black Panther solo game from brand-new studio, Cliffhanger Games. Little news on either game has come out since their announcements, but it seems likely that fans will get to see a reveal trailer for at least one of these games in 2025, likelyEA Motive’s Iron Man, as the studio hit a “major internal milestone” back in April.
2025 Could Finally Be The Year of Insomniac’s Wolverine
Announced during the September 2021 PlayStation Showcase alongsideMarvel’s Spider-Man 2,Marvel’s Wolverinehasn’t received any official update in over three years. Whilethe Insomniac hack in December 2023resulted in early builds of the game being released and some story details being leaked, Insomniac has made no official statements regarding the game’s story, gameplay, or release date. Hopefully, fans will finally get to see at least a new trailer forMarvel’s Wolverinein 2025.
Marvel’s Blade Could Get Another Trailer in 2025
Announced at last year’s Game Awards,Marvel’s Bladeis currently in development at Arkane Lyon. It’s unclear how far along in developmentMarvel’s Bladeis, but there’s a chance fans could see another trailer for the game in 2025.
DC Will Probably Have a Much Quieter 2025
A live-service looter-shooter,Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguewas meant to be Rocksteady’s triumphant return to the DC universe, but it ended up being one of the year’s most infamous disappointments. Despite its consistently low player-count,Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguehas continued to receive post-launch content, with new playable characters being added every few months. ButSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice LeagueSeason 4 will be its last.
Finallyadding Deathstroke as a playable character,Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s fourth season is underway, and it’s set to receive an update on July 04, 2025. This will be the final update forSuicide Squad. Rocksteady has confirmed that the game’s servers will remain online, and the recent addition of an offline mode will allow players to keep playingSuicide Squadwhen they are eventually turned off.
It’s been a long and tumultuous journey forThe Wolf Among Us 2. First announced at the 2019 Game Awards,The Wolf Among Us 2didn’t receive a trailer until 2022. Telltale announced in early 2023 that the sequel had been delayed to 2024 in order to avoid crunch, though Telltale also saw major layoffs in October of the same year.
A second season ofThe Wolf Among Uswas actually announced at SDCC 2017, though it was canceled when Telltale was initially closed down in 2018.
Back in April 2024, Geoff Keighley posted fournew images fromThe Wolf Among Us 2, confirming that the game was still in development. But nothing has been heard since. 2025 might finally be the year fans get to seeThe Wolf Among Us 2hit store shelves, though the future remains very uncertain for the sequel.
Monolith’s Wonder Woman Probably Won’t Make a Reappearance in 2025
Another DC game that’s been cooking for quite a while now, Monolith’s Wonder Woman game was first announced at the 2021 Game Awards, and fans have heard nothing official since. Aside from some concept art leaks and some rumors about the game being live-service that were quickly put to rest, DC and Monolith have been radio silent. Recentreports from Jason Schreiersuggest that Monolith’s Wonder Woman didn’t start proper development until after its announcement, so it’s unlikely fans will see anything substantial from it anytime soon.
