During Sony's State of Play, Insomniac Games unveiled the first gameplay trailer for Marvel's Wolverine, revealing an incredibly violent take on the iconic character. The game arrives on PlayStation 5 on September 15, showing Logan in his classic yellow-and-black suit executing brutal melee combat while traversing city rooftops and dodging bullets.

The gameplay trailer features Wolverine riding motorcycles, jumping between moving vehicles, and teaming up with Jean Grey (whose appearance strongly resembles Jesse from Control). The combat is described as "comically violent" with hints of Sunset Overdrive's movement style, but significantly bloodier as Logan hunts down mutants kidnapped for mysterious purposes.

Insomniac continues its successful partnership with Marvel after the Spider-Man series, delivering what appears to be another character-driven action game with over-the-top violence. The extreme brutality shown in the trailer suggests the developers are embracing Wolverine's mutant healing factor by allowing players to experience increasingly graphic combat without consequence.
