The modern Spider-Man games have gone down a storm, so it’s no surprise that developer Insomniac is now turning its attention to a different Marvel hero. This new game features an ensemble X-Men cast and a whole lot of gratuitous comic-book violence, as Wolverine sticks those adamantium claws through a succession of foes trying to chase him down.

Witchbrook
Looking for an alternative to established wizarding-school fiction? Witchbrook is a charming pixel-art slice-of-life game about a witches’ college. In school you learn spells and broom flight; outside school you involve yourself in the life of the whimsical town outside. It supports four players at once, too.
PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox; TBC
Halo: Campaign Evolved
Controversial take: first-person shooter campaigns have never got better than the original Halo, with its eerie extraterrestrial setting and intelligent, chattering alien enemies. (Let’s conveniently forget about The Library, where we battle through endless waves of the significantly less interesting zombie-like Flood.) This prettied-up remake of 2001’s space-opera classic will, for the first time, be available on PlayStation.
