Hands-On: Insomniac's Marvel's Wolverine Impresses With Gore and Character Depth

A hands-on demo of Marvel's Wolverine was held at Insomniac Games' studio in Burbank, California, giving journalists roughly two hours of gameplay. The game features visceral, bloody combat centered on Wolverine's iconic claws, including a parry mechanic. The story follows Logan rejoining mutant task force Team X after years away, portrayed as a reluctant hero with fractured relationships and gaps in his memory. The demo began at the game's opening, offering an early look at both its action and narrative tone. The preview left at least one reporter unexpectedly invested in the character despite having no prior attachment to Wolverine.
