Word on the block (and in our inbox) informs us this afternoon that are hard at work on a new Wolverine game, to be linked to the upcoming cinematic release.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine will be released alongside the new film come spring 2009, with Software in charge of for every console conceivable to man. And a few that aren't.

Combat will be a focus in the new game, which will follow the plot of the new flick, as well as adding to the story told therein. Third-person is the staple we're lead to believe, and we'll bring you more on this as May nears.

More on this as we get it.
