- Wolverine on PS5 is going to have a 'mature tone' worthy of the favorite character of the enthusiasts
Little by little, more details about Marvel's Wolverine are emerging, after the announcement of the PS5 exclusive during PS Showcase last week. The latest news will surely come as no surprise to those who have seen Insomniac Games' brief trailer for Wolverine, but it might come as a relief to Marvel fans. According to Marvel Wolverine creative director Brian Horton, James 'Logan' Howlett's standalone adventure on PS5 is going to be a life-size game with a "mature tone." Horton confirmed this in response to a fan on Twitter who asked if Wolverine on PS5 is going to be "a big one or an ethical mile sized game." It's already been speculated that Marvel's Wolverine is going to offer a more mature tone than Insomniac Games' Spider-Man titles, with the title trailer featuring thugs armed with knives, alcohol and knuckles. But as a Marvel fan, it's a relief to have confirmation that Wolverine's game is going to have a tone befitting its brooding protagonist.
Opinion: a dark origin story
![Lobezno de Marvel]()
(Image credit: Sony/Insomniac Games) Wolverine has probably one of the saddest and darkest origin stories of any and all Marvel characters (with Magneto suing my first personal site). His story sees him killing both his biological father and his childhood friend with the bone claw mutation that he cannot oversee, living with wolves, and enduring excruciating experiences as a part of the Weapon X program that sees his bones fuse with adamantium. , and that's just certain points noted. . It's a series of events that ultimately lead to the haunting, gray-haired Logan many of us know. It's unclear precisely when Marvel's Wolverine will be set in Logan's timeline. But, in the trailer, we see Wolverine unleash his metal claws, which means we can surely expect Insomniac's Wolverine game to take place sometime after the Weapon X show. The trailer shows a destroyed bar, with men wounded lying on the ground, before moving to the rear view of a man in a cowboy hat and plaid shirt drinking at the bar, his knuckles and knuckles covered in blood. In the background, we see one of the wounded getting up and pulling out a knife. Sensing the attacker, the man at the bar clenches his fist, causing long metal claws to protrude. When Insomniac unveiled Marvel's Wolverine, I had some trepidation about it, even though the trailer seemed to hint at a more mature tone. Although Marvel's Spider-Man and Miles Morales are critically acclaimed, there's no denying that they're pretty familiar; after all, Spider-Man himself is your "mild neighborhood Spider-Man." Wolverine, however, is an entirely different character, and his dark past makes him a more interesting (if conflicting) character. Telling this story in a more "family-friendly" way simply wouldn't do her (or the character) the justice she deserves. Sure, we've seen Wolverine make his way to film and TV with little bloodshed, but it's time the character was explored without limits (closer to the 5 film Logan) for an adult audience. Après tout, Wolverine's catchphrase is: "Je suis le meilleur dans ce que je fais, mais ce que je fais de mieux n'est pas très gentil" et la brutalité de sa mutation est un aspect si clé de son personnage et de his story. The confirmation that Wolverine on PSXNUMX is going to have a mature tone is therefore a relief. I can't wait to see how Insomniac Games brings Logan to life and explores his story with the new version of him.
