Here’s that Wolverine trailer, from the State of Play

Logan tears into his foes, and we see a good chunk of the supporting cast that’ll figure into Insomniac’s upcoming Marvel’s Wolverine.

He’s the best there is at what he does

For some time, fans hadn’t seen much of anything when it came to Insomniac’s Wolverine adaptation. There was a messy leak, sure, but that was of a massively unfinished game, and didn’t really convey much of what the final title would look like.

We know that for sure now, thanks to Marvel’s Wolverine making an appearance at last week’s State of Play. The Sony presser/online presentation was abuzz with reveals, though it was the expansion of Sony’s burgeoning Marvel video game universe that took the lion’s share of the headlines. For its part, Marvel’s Wolverine is looking pretty darn sharp. And yes, that’s a pun.

The first real look at the title is packed, loaded up with both action and surprises. Amongst those, are the game’s villains, the Reavers. Cybernetically-enhanced foes mercenaries, the Reavers have appeared in both comics and on the silver screen in Logan.

So X-Men fans should be well acquainted with them already. Along with them too, the trailer showcases a cadre of Logan’s supporting characters. The likes of Omega Red, Sabertooth, and even Jean Grey were all included. What you won’t see though, are the X-Men.

While the game’s universe apparently once had a mutant super-group called Team X, Xavier’s own are curiously absent. Might Marvel’s Wolverine be setting up to serve as a lead-in for a wider X-game in the future? That, we don’t know. But again, and for now anyway, this slice ’em up is looking like a title to watch for this fall.

Insomniac Games shares a brutal, violent, and action-packed look at its upcoming single-player adventure Marvel’s Wolverine. Alongside a closer look at Logan’s ferocious combat techniques, the studio gave us a glimpse at some of the characters who you’ll encounter as part of mutant task force Team X. That includes powerful telekinetic Jean Grey, who Logan teams up with for some devastating takedowns of the cybernetic, mutant-hunting Reavers.
