[00:00] The Marvel's Wolverine Hi everyone, I'm Liam McIntyre and I play James Logan Howlett, aka Wolverine.

[00:21] Today I'm thrilled to share a closer look at Marvel's Wolverine, which is soon to launch on September 15, 2026. So, let's rip into it. Fast, fluid and ferocious, this is the heart of combat in Marvel's Wolverine.

[00:36] Logan is all about the claws, so closing the gap is essential. He's even more lethal when he combines swift-at-a-mantium attacks with hefty kicks, fierce barrages and critical strikes.

[00:48] Sensors keep him sharp. Attack from above with stealth takedowns or surprise enemies from behind cover. Become a whole new animal with special techniques that can be upgraded to deal massive damage break barriers or keep up ferocious momentum Evolve further with adaptations for even stronger buffs like deflecting bullets absorbing damage or terrifying Logan attackers

[01:11] There are several to equip. Tune them to your playstyle. An extraordinary healing factor keeps Logan resilient. But he isn't immortal. Attack, dodge, and parry to build momentum in the form of rage,

[01:26] an aggressive showcase of animalistic authority that keeps him in the fight. Three tiers of rage lean into Logan's endurance, resilience, and unbridled fury. Like Logan says, he's the best there is at what he does, but what he does best isn't very nice.

[01:40] The story in Marvel's Wolverine cuts just as deep as the combat. Let's get you guys out of here. Are you a superhero? Not yet. In this world, mutants face annihilation and allies are almost non-existent.

[01:52] Logan and Team X put it all on the line with the fight to protect mutants who can protect themselves against forces like Bolivar Trask and the cybernetic Reavers Behind his rage Logan is a reluctant hero with a clear moral code and obligation to protect mutants

[02:07] And he'll travel to the ends of the earth to do it. Tear through locations like the neon-lit Shinjuku in Japan, the island of Madripoor, the jungles of Talambang, and the wintery wilds of Canada. Fight against lethal enemy factions along the journey, and confront deadly villains like Omega Red and Deathstruck.

[02:23] Between encounters, explore the halls of the Essex Institute and meet other mutants, or take a drink at the Princess Bar in true Wolverine fashion. Or use Logan's senses to discover nightmare doors, sniff out whiskey bottles, or listen

[02:35] for material caches, unlock adaptations, forgotten memories, acquire new looks inspired by comics, animation, films and games. You suit unlocks, earn health upgrades too. And yes, some cows can be toggled on and off.

[02:48] I recommend off for obvious reasons. It also wouldn't be a Wolverine game without this. a variety of claws and equip a style with any suit to keep Logan looking sharp The Digital Deluxe Edition also adds five exclusive suits and claws so keep an eye out for that Jump back in with new threads

[03:08] into Logan's Mine Cabin to replay missions or nightmare challenges, or experience the story all over again in New Game+, with an increased level cap and exclusive techniques and adaptations. And don't forget to sync your claws into photo mode,

[03:20] now with improved lighting features. But, you know, be gentle, for my sake. And best of all, it's all available at launch. Yeah, that'll work. Marvel's Wolverine includes a suite of accessibility options.

[03:32] Manly adjust over 100 settings or choose from any audio, visual, and motor presets. There are even filters for dynamic blood, dismemberment, and adult language. You're not ready for this. We hope you enjoyed this slice of Marvel's Wolverine.

[03:45] Coming to PS5 on September 15, 2026. Reorder now. On behalf of Insomniac Games, Marvel Games, and the entire cast of the game, Thank you.
