This isn't being made by some Jack leg 343 studio. Insomniac getting this IP is huge because of their reputation as a great developer and how great they handled the Spider-Man game. This game alone will sell a shitload of PS5's.

Maybe you can manually flip out your claws and manually retract your claws freely instead of only when you press the attack buttons.

I'd like to be able to go up to a sign post and slice it apart. And boxes, crates, bar stools, tables, lights, chairs, windows, car tires, doors, pretty much anything in sight could be shredded apart by Wolverine.

Maybe he'll have a rage mode, where he gets ultra strong to do extra damage against enemies.

His health will need to regenerate on its own. No health meter, but just see his visible wounds healing while resting or in combat and avoiding more damage. I hope this is the Logan where he already has the ultra metal skeleton. Adamantium I think it's called.

I'd like Logan to be able to climb the sides of buildings with his claws. Jamming them into the brick walls like it was butter.

That would work, along with Kryptonite enemies to weaken Superman.

For Wolverine, there's a chance Insomniac will offer an M Rated bloody video game based on the CGI teaser trailer where he has bloody hands. Why show blood at all if they didn't intend to have blood in their game?

Insomniac's Wolverine will hopefully be M Rated. So like the kick@ss movie Logan, things can get gory.

Or they could go with the sanitized X-Men movie versions approach to blood prior to that. No blood.

What would sell more units? Rockstar Games proves an M Rated game can sell 120 million units, so it doesn't matter if it's M for Mature or T for teen.

Thought the PS3 Uncaged game was amazing! How can this not be amazing with all the blood, guts, and gore!?

So for me, it would have to be better than this to get me hyped lol.

What we need is a good Deadpool game. We already have a good Wolverine game. Don't understand how Deadpool got a remaster when it was not that good and Wolverine didn't get a remaster. Ya I know Deadpool was rereleased coz of the movie, but still Wolverine should get a remaster.

Barely remember that game but know I played it.

The Insomniac Creative Director confirmed Marvel’s Wolverine will be rated M & will be a Mature Narrative game also.

Looks gory, nicely done there for a Wolverine Game. That will be easy to match for Insomniac if they want to go the gory route hopefully.

It wouldn't have to have characters ripped in two necessarily, but it should show blood flowing. Of course that would be something if it tried to top that game's gore factor.

Unfortunately for Insomniac loads of in development footage of the game has been leaked after a cyber attack last week.

The leak also revealed that the game is penciled in for release in 2026.

Some other interesting points not necessarily wolverine related but the terms of the X-Men licence. The deal with marvel expires in 2035.

Sony must sell at least 6million copies of each marvel title on PS5 to keep the contract. Any less and marvel can walk away.

If Sony pull out they have to pay $9mil termination fee.

If marvel walk away Sony doesn’t pay a fee neither does marvel. But Sony get to keep selling all the games they released before the termination. (Doubtful that would earn Sony anywhere near $9mil.)

Platform is PlayStation console/PC exclusive.

Marvel are committed to providing $621mil. This is comprised of $120mil for development of each title. Another $120mil for a provisional 4th title.

$30mil advertising per title. $15mil for potential 4th title

$9million recoupable advance for each title.

All games will be released by 2035, and sold through at least 2038 and later if marvel allows them to continue.

Between now and December 31, 2035, Marvel cannot release or announce any X-MEN Games on console/PC/streaming, or use an X-MEN character as a competitive advantage in a game (e.g, "Play as Volverine in Ultimate Alliance exclusively on Xbox"). X-MEN characters can appear in multi-family Marvel games (e.g.. Avengers.
Guardians of the Galaxy), and Marvel retains rights to children's games and certain X MEN games from the 1990s, but they cannot release or announce these within 45 days before or after release or announce of any of our X-MEN games.

Marvels royalty consists of:

Digital games: 9% - 18% of net sales
Physical games: 13% - 26% of net sales
DLC: 19% - 26% of net sales
Hardware bundles: 35% - 50% of wholesale bundle price - caloulated as follos: number of units a wholesale bundle price x applicable royalty rate for bundle applicable royalty rate for game

While I typically love leaks and great news for planning sad how much personal data got leaked. Never wanna see that.
