"In a two-minute trailer and an accompanying four-minute featurette about its production, Marvel's Wolverine appears to be a gory adaptation of the beloved, near-invincible mutant. Seconds into the trailer, Insomniac answers the "will this be a violent game?" question with a resounding and unflinching yes. The hero's adamantium claws are seen going through jaws, sternums, and limbs at every moment of action, proving this will more than live up to Raven Software's vicious X-Men Origins: Wolverinefrom 2009."
"The very first major villain we see appear in the trailer is none other than mutant Omega Red, a classic X-Men supervillain. Born Arkady Gregorivich Rossovich, this serial murderer turned KGB experiment is the bizarre mirror image of Wolverine. Instead of a healing factor, Omega Red has a doom factor caused by spores that are lethal to his body and drain the life force out of those around him."
Insomniac Games' Wolverine is scheduled for Fall 2026 after four years since its initial reveal. A two-minute trailer and a four-minute featurette showcase a visibly gory, action-focused tone with adamantium claws penetrating jaws, sternums, and limbs. The game leans into brutal combat reminiscent of Raven Software's X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009). Familiar X-Men faces appear briefly, signaling an embrace of the character's history, rogues' gallery, and iconic comic arcs with fresh twists. The trailer introduces Omega Red—Arkady Gregorivich Rossovich—a KGB experiment whose spores cause a lethal doom factor and who wields carbonadium coils in place of adamantium.
