Sony opened its PlayStation State of Play presentation with a demonstration of Marvel’s Wolverine. This game has been in development for several years, and the wait is almost over. The new game from Insomniac Games will be released this September, so this month will be one of the most intense releases in recent years. During the State of Play presentation, Sony presented an extended gameplay video, and the new footage confirmed that the game will be violent and spectacular.
The video showed the rescue mission. It starts with a moment where Logan eliminates enemies with his signature claws. They are also the basis of a dynamic combat system, while the hero’s mutant abilities are actively used when moving around locations. During the mission, Wolverine is joined by Jean Grey, who helps him in battle.
Despite the fact that the game takes place in the same universe as Insomniac’s Marvel’s Spider-Man series, the developers characterize the new project as “brutal” and “violent”, which is fully consistent with the image of this character. The studio also promises an “emotionally charged original story” in which Logan and other mutants try to survive in a hostile world.

“The situation is dire and help is limited. Mutants live in the shadows fearful of those hunting them, while the rest of society lives unaware of their existence,” says the studio, explaining the setting. “The only ones potentially capable of protecting their own is Team X, a last-stand mutant task force facing its darkest hour, which Logan rejoins after leaving three years prior. For the mutants, the fight for survival is theirs alone.”

The video demonstrated the hero’s special abilities, which work through the recharge system and are activated by pressing the L2 button in combination with the corresponding controller button. In addition to using his abilities, Logan will be able to use elements of the environment to eliminate enemies, including pushing them onto sharp objects.
The video also showed a short episode with a motorcycle ride and one of the elite enemies armed with a powerful melee energy weapon. If the character is defeated, as it happened during the demonstration, players will be able to regain health and return to the battle with a quick press of the Square button. At the end of the presentation, another short trailer was shown, which demonstrated new moments of Wolverine’s upcoming adventure and introduced Mystique and Sabretooth for the first time.
The path to the demonstration of Marvel’s Wolverine was not easy for Insomniac Games. After announcing the project with a short teaser in 2021, the studio shared almost no information, focusing on the Marvel’s Spider-Man series. Later, the intrigue was spoiled by a large-scale data leak that showed for the first time how the new project differs from the adventures of Peter Parker and Miles Morales.
Due to the emphasis on brutal hand-to-hand combat, bloody skirmishes, and a darker storyline, the game resembled modern God of War titles at an early stage of development. Back then, Insomniac Games demonstrated that it was capable of adapting one of the most popular Marvel Comics characters for video games. The current demonstration has only strengthened the impression that Marvel’s Wolverine can become not only one of the most exciting releases after its launch on September 15, but also a contender for the title of Game of the Year.
