Players report that regional versions of Marvel’s Wolverine appear to censor Mystique’s lesbian relationship and marriage to Tyger. Screenshots and video allegedly show a wedding photograph and personal letter blurred, while dialogue mentioning Mystique’s “wife” is muted and replaced with asterisks, raising questions about how games are adapted for markets with restrictions on LGBTQ+ content.

The reports concern the Middle Eastern version, although the precise source of the images has not been independently confirmed. The relationship remains in the game but is reportedly censored wherever it appears, despite being important to Mystique’s story and her connection with Wolverine; the situation follows similar changes made to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 in Saudi Arabia, and Sony has been contacted for comment.
