I can't believe we finally got our first real look at Marvel's Wolverine! After all the rumors and leaks, seeing Logan in action during Sony's State of Play was absolutely incredible. The trailer showed exactly what makes Wolverine special - that raw, unapologetic violence that separates him from other Marvel heroes.
Right from the start, you can feel the difference between this and Insomniac's Spider-Man games. Where Peter Parker keeps things relatively family-friendly, Logan comes out swinging with these absolutely brutal takedowns. Those Adamantium claws aren't just for show - they're carving through enemies like butter, and honestly? It's exactly what I wanted to see.
The violence here isn't just for shock value though. It perfectly captures Logan's character - he's this complex, ill-tempered loner who isolates himself, but deep down there's something more sincere. The way he moves through combat tells you everything about his personality.
What really got me excited was seeing how the game handles Logan's signature moves. The claw attacks look so visceral and weighty - you can almost feel the impact through the screen. And the environments! We got glimpses of multiple locations that suggest we'll be traveling across the world with Logan.
Here's what has me most excited:
-
The combat looks absolutely savage - no holding back on the gore
-
Logan's character depth seems properly explored
-
Multiple locations hinted at global adventure
-
Fast-paced action that feels true to Wolverine's abilities
The big question everyone's asking: how will Liam McIntyre's portrayal stack up against Hugh Jackman's iconic version? Honestly, from what little we've seen, he seems to be capturing that gruff, world-weary tone perfectly. It's a tough act to follow, but the trailer suggests they understand what makes Logan tick.
With a 2026 release window, Marvel's Wolverine has some serious competition (looking at you, GTA 6), but something tells me this is going to be one of those PS5 exclusives that holds its own. The combination of Insomniac's track record with superhero games and Wolverine's unique appeal? Yeah, this could be something special.
I'm already counting down the days until we get more details. The trailer answered some questions but raised so many more about the story and gameplay mechanics. One thing's for sure - Insomniac isn't playing it safe with this one, and that's exactly what Wolverine deserves.
