Insomniac's Marvel's Wolverine leans into brutal, melee-focused combat and a Sinister-led setup, but the game largely reuses the studio's Spider-Man/Arkham-inspired systems; its violence is graphic and the DualSense haptics are impressive, yet the action often feels weightless and the narrative risks not redefining Wolverine or impacting future films. Release on PS5 is set for 15 September.
