Darlings, the claws are out and Insomniac isn't holding back on the brutality in this latest hands-on peek at Marvel's Wolverine. The two-hour session dives straight into Logan's feral past with Team X, teaming up with Mystique and Sabretooth to infiltrate Bolivar Trask's mutant-hunting operation in Telambang before spilling over into the neon-soaked streets of Madripoor’s Lowtown. Rage builds through tiers that flip your combat style from stylish barrages to primal, vision-narrowing critical strikes, complete with Nightmare Doors pulling you into fever-dream memory trials for that extra layer of Wolverine trauma porn.

Combat feels like sinking your teeth into something meaty — catapulting across rooms for stun barrages, snatching enemy weapons mid-takedown, and watching the skeleton peek through as damage piles up. Allies like Jean Grey and the mutant teens add emotional breathing room in Princess Bar, where a game of Never Have I Ever with Mystique humanizes the claws a bit. Traversal and stealth options via enhanced senses keep exploration snappy between the gore, all while Trask’s Sentinel Prototype forces a strategic dance of parries and patience.

With the September 15 PS5 launch breathing down our necks and a limited-edition console bundle already teased, this hands-on screams Insomniac doing what they do best: turning superhero violence into something visceral and addictive. The mutant world-building lands harder when you can actually feel Logan’s rage meter tick up.

Sources close to the preview say the fluid combos and gore details are turning heads already.
