Over the last couple of months we have heard nothing but whispers on this game, it was not until just recently that we heard that the game would be revealed in the next issue of EGM. But, none the less, we all can’t wait to see this game and all its gory, that is why Activision has revealed the release date for the game.

If you didn’t know, the game is base on the upcoming movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine by Twentieth Century Fox and discernibly the game is set to coincide with the movie in May ’09.

“We have an amazing team with Raven Studios at the helm, creating what will undoubtedly be the quintessential, true-to-character Wolverine video game experience that fans have been craving,” said Rob Kostich, vice president, global brand management, Activision Publishing, Inc.

“X-Men Origins: Wolverine amps up the action by bringing to life Wolverine’s wholly unique skills such as his brute strength, regenerative mutant abilities, and indestructible adamantium claws and skeleton in an immersive experience that is fitting to one of the most enduring and popular characters of all time.”
