Marvel’s Wolverine: what’s the story about?

A gritty alley showdown: Wolverine in yellow suit and cowl, claws slashing, muscles tensed as he faces an armed adversary.

3 years after leaving his team behind, Logan believes his days as a hero are over. However, a new threat forces him to become Wolverine once again.

Bolivar Trask, convinced that humans are superior to mutants, has begun kidnapping mutant children around the world. Step into Wolverine's shoes and do whatever it takes to save them. Armed with his iconic adamantium claws, Wolverine will battle his enemies across a variety of stunning locations, including the frozen wilderness of Canada, the streets of Tokyo and the infamous island of Madripoor. Along the way, Logan is joined by familiar allies such as Sabretooth and Jean Grey as he faces dangerous enemies including Deathstrike, Bolivar Trask and Omega Red. The latter has close ties to The Hand, an organisation that has crossed paths with Wolverine since the 1980’s.

Although Wolverine's famous healing factor returns, he still has a traditional health bar. According to creative director Marcus Smith, the story is about far more than combat: "By winning, he'll lose. By losing, he'll win." The goal is to deliver an emotionally driven adventure rather than focusing solely on violence. An adventure to be experienced on screen with your PlayStation 5 controller.

When exactly is the Wolverine game coming out?

The game is a collaboration between PlayStation Studios, Insomniac Games and Marvel Games, with Insomniac Games leading development. It’s a single-player action-adventure PlayStation 5-game. Like other Insomniac Games titles, including Marvel's Spider-Man 2, the story takes place in the Marvel 1048 Universe and is divided into multiple chapters. However, no crossover with other Marvel games is planned. Logan's adventure isn’t set in an open world. Instead, it follows a linear, story-driven structure.
