Wolverine Game Aims to Top Spider-Man with Brutal, Film-Scale Story
TL;DR Summary
Variety previews Marvel's Wolverine from Insomniac, praising its visceral melee combat, cinematic cutscenes, and a gritty, character-driven story that deepens Team X with Sabretooth, Mystique, and Mister Sinister. Though more linear than Spider-Man, the game offers large explorable sections and intense boss showdowns (including a Sentinel), plus a trove of Easter eggs, with a Sept. 15, 2026 release, and could outpace Spider-Man in scope and impact.
