Marvel's Wolverine

Key Points:

Marvel’s Wolverine gameplay footage showcased story elements, combat, traversal, and a boss fight, but faced significant online criticism, particularly targeting the scent-trail mechanic, voice acting, and boss design.
Director Mike Daly acknowledged the backlash, describing it as a "good problem to have" and emphasizing the studio's focus on creating the best game for the character rather than appeasing all critics.
Daly expressed confidence in Insomniac’s ability to make a great game despite inevitable complaints from fans and critics of superhero-based titles.
IGN’s hands-on preview offered a more positive view, praising the combat for capturing Wolverine’s spirit, though it remained uncertain if the gameplay would maintain its appeal throughout the full campaign.
Marvel’s Wolverine is scheduled for release on September 15, 2026, exclusively on PlayStation 5.
