If there’s one key thing that PlayStation‘s Insomniac Games wants you to take away from the new gameplay footage for its upcoming “Marvel’s Wolverine,” it’s that this video game will be as bloody as promised.
“It’s planting our flag that this is a mature game,” Insomniac Games’ creative director Marcus Smith told Variety. “There was a lot of speculation about, especially Insomniac creating this game, were we going to be able to create that visceral high action that one would expect from a Wolverine game? And the answer is, yeah, absolutely, we’ve done that. We also are creating a storyline that is equally mature, that has more depth and ambiguity and deepness to go along with that. And then I would just throw out that we also understand that some people are squeamish when it comes to blood, and we do have an accessibility option to turn it off and do low-gore paths.”
Developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Insomniac Games in partnership with Marvel Games, “Marvel’s Wolverine” will launch Sept. 15 exclusively for the PlayStation 5. The game is described as delivering “the ultimate Wolverine fantasy, with fast, fluid, and ferocious combat; exhilarating, action-packed set pieces, and a gripping story that taps into the core tenets of one of the most compelling comic book characters of all-time.”
