Marvel's Wolverine: Every Spider-Man Easter Egg and reference hidden in the game

September 17, 2026 - 22:26

The new Wolverine title from Insomniac Games has arrived, and it carries more than just adamantium claws. Players digging through the game have found a steady stream of references to the studio's earlier Spider-Man work, turning Logan's solo outing into a quiet treasure hunt for Marvel fans.

Some nods are obvious. A Daily Bugle newspaper sits on a desk in one early safehouse, its headline hinting at events from the Spider-Man timeline. Other touches are subtler. A radio broadcast mentions a "web-slinging vigilante" in New York, while a graffiti tag in a Madripoor alley mimics the spider logo. One side mission sends Logan past a demolished laboratory with a sign reading "Oscorp," a clear wink at Peter Parker's world.

Costume details matter too. A red and blue scarf hanging in a locker echoes Spider-Man's palette without saying his name. Even combat chatter includes a thug complaining about "some kid in tights" who ruined a prior job.

Insomniac has not confirmed whether these hints point to a shared universe or simply serve as fun callbacks. Either way, they reward exploration and give longtime fans something to argue about. The references never overwhelm the story, but they prove the studio remembers where it came from.
