  • PATCHSep 25, 2026Update 1.001.006 added independent on/off toggles under Settings > Gameplay > Senses for three collectible-related cues: Whisky Bottle Scent Trails, Material Crate Audio Clues, and Nightmare Door Roots — a response to player feedback that the base game's Senses system was too insistent.

Quick answers

When does Marvel's Wolverine release and on what platform?

Marvel's Wolverine launched on September 15, 2026, exclusively for PlayStation 5. It was built from the ground up for PS5 and did not come to PS4 or other platforms at launch.

What is the story of Marvel's Wolverine?

Set three years after Logan left the mutant strike force Team X, the game follows Wolverine as he rejoins the group to investigate the abduction of mutants. The trail leads to Bolivar Trask — a fanatical billionaire industrialist — and his cybernetically-enhanced private militia, the Reavers. Along the way Logan crosses paths with Jean Grey, Mystique, Omega Red, Sabretooth, and others.

How does combat work in Marvel's Wolverine?

Combat is fast, brutal, and third-person melee-focused. Logan can stalk and ambush enemies or wade in with relentless claw strikes. Special moves called Techniques — including the Tornado Spin and Bull Rush — add variety. As the Rage meter fills, Logan gains access to stronger attacks and can activate his iconic Healing Factor, which gradually restores health mid-fight.

Are there different editions of Marvel's Wolverine to buy?

Yes. The Standard Edition is priced at $69.99 USD. The Digital Deluxe Edition ($79.99) adds five exclusive suits (Incredible, Savage, Age of Apocalypse, Night Hunt, and New Leather), five claw sets, and three bonus Technique Points to spend on combat upgrades from the start.
