Explained simply
Wolverine is a PlayStation 5 exclusive in development by Insomniac Games, launching on 15 September. It marks the first major video game centred solely on Marvel's Wolverine since 2009.
Insomniac Games previously created successful Spider-Man games for PlayStation, and the Wolverine title will feature characters from X-Men mythology. The cast includes Jean Grey as an ally and romantic interest, whilst antagonists Mystique and Sabretooth also appear, with the story revolving around tracking down kidnapped mutants.
The inclusion of multiple established X-Men characters indicates the game will draw deeply from Marvel's existing comic mythology and character relationships. Insomniac's selection of which supporting characters to feature provides insight into the game's narrative direction and themes.
