Overview
- Insomniac and Marvel released a story trailer and a prequel comic at San Diego Comic‑Con on Thursday that advance the game’s narrative rollout and marketing.
- The studio confirmed the game is set before the X‑Men form and ties Marvel’s Wolverine to Earth‑1048, the same universe as Insomniac’s Spider‑Man games, with a September 15 PS5 exclusive release date.
- The trailer frames the plot as a fight for mutant survival and shows Wolverine allied with Jean Grey and Team X while facing foes such as Bolivar Trask, Omega Red, Lady Deathstrike, the Reavers, and The Hand.
- The prequel comic written by narrative director Walt Williams introduces Nathaniel Essex (Mister Sinister) into the world of the game, which reporters say could expand the story’s genetic‑conspiracy stakes.
- Developers emphasized a darker, brutal take on Logan with feral combat and fractured memories, actors described intense preparation for the roles, and public reaction has focused on character design and Sony’s disc‑phaseout policy while the game’s August soundtrack release gives fans another preview point.
