“I think, internally it sounds like they are debating, flopping between maybe making something this summer a full showcase versus another State of Play. But they are considering a showcase,” Grubb said on his Game Mess Decides podcast Friday.
“If they have a showcase, that means they'll have a lot of stuff to talk about. And at that point, you would definitely expect to see Wolverine and a lot of other games that could come out next year.”
