Developed by Insomniac Games (the studio behind Marvel’s Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2), this action-adventure PS5 exclusive is scheduled for Fall 2026. The trailer teases brutal, bloody claw combat, visceral animations, rage meter mechanics, and Wolverine pushing through his haunted past to uncover a larger mystery. Story & tone: Logan (Wolverine) is digging into his past, facing internal rage and external enemies. Expect darker, mature storytelling and grotesque violence. Confirmed characters / mythos:  • Wolverine / James “Logan” Howlett – main playable hero.  • Mystique – confirmed for the cast.  • Omega Red – one of the villains listed. Because Insomniac’s Wolverine sits in the same world as their Spider-Man games, there’s speculation of potential crossover, Easter eggs, or shared lore threads with upcoming MCU projects like Avengers: Doomsday and the future X-Men reboot. If you love Wolverine, mature Marvel games, or are excited for a darker, visceral take from Insomniac (post-Spider-Man), this video is for you. Join us as we theorize possible villain rosters, connections to the MCU, and what this means for Avengers: Doomsday, X-Men, and more.

Starting point is 00:01:14 for the tragic murder of Meredith Kircher and the relentless media storm that followed. The twisted tale of Amanda Knox is now streaming only on Disney Plus. what is going on there citizens of the reject nation aaron and i are here right now because we're about to do a movie reaction to a film called district nine moments before i hit record he was like
Starting point is 00:01:37 the wolverine trailer came out and then it became about 30 seconds of conflict but we're like we're going to watch the trailer i'm going to edit this video and give it to you guys here we are you seem really excited when this trailer dropped yeah man i really I loved Spider-Man 1 and 2 when Miles Morales is the same studio who did that. I've been on hold for years. So I can't wait to get into it. I'm making a PS5 for this. Shoot.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Caption in PS5 Pro. Been fighting. Longer than I can remember. Who's doing the voice? I was going to say I like the gravel they have for him. Oh my god. Yeah. Oh, he looks great.
Starting point is 00:02:29 Yeah, insomniak. But I can't believe this game is finally coming out. I'd like to say I'm not a violent man. When years. The trouble just has a way of the point. Woo. Oh, God damn. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:02:47 This looks so sick. Oh, cool. Where I go. Oh, shit. Oh, damn. Oh, so far, yes. Oh, wow. And the bloodstays in the costume.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Wow. Oh, shit. Same a tooth. Or Omega Red. You're right, right. I saw the arms. Death's always waiting. Oh, the pain of that.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Just not for me. Healing. I don't know who that is. Like adamantium on his shoulder. yeah hell yeah this is so badass the sneak because i hate no hero oh dude it's like they did it's yeah hell yeah oh let's freaking go sentinels fall 2026 oh fun hell yeah That was a pretty sweet trailer. That was a pretty sweet trailer, man.
Starting point is 00:03:57 Aaron, what you think of the violence? It's pretty incredible. Oh, my God. I'm so happy we have a Wolverine game in the 2020s in the modern day of gaming. We haven't seen a Wolverine peer game since the one that came out for Origins, Ex-Men Origins, and that was a lot of fun back in, like, 2009. And, yeah, it looks really great.
Starting point is 00:04:17 I love the fact that the blood sticks to the costume and, like, you just accumulate that damage and that carnage as you go. over the course of whatever level you're on. And I'm really, really hyped. It really feels like they, uh, they brought that same realism from Spider-Man into this game. And it's, it's, it's, it's,
Starting point is 00:04:33 looks like it's just going to be a pure violent X-Men, Wolverine-centric story. I'm super hyped. What about you, man? I thought it really delivered on the goods. Like, it's got the vibe of Wolverine just in the character alone. Yeah. Um, yeah, the gore and the violence is something that,
Starting point is 00:04:49 I'm like, you cannot do a Wolverine game without properly executed. that and this is your opportunity where you really get to do that if the concept behind the spider-man games was to make you really feel like you can become spider-man this trailer does demonstrate wow this will really make you feel like you can become wolverine now of course the aspect that will be very crucial this is a gameplay trailer is the story does have to be good and i think we saw that with spider-man too where some of the drop-off is i really enjoyed the story of spider-man too but from listening to a lot of audiences talk about it. It seemed like they were let down by the overall story of it because the gameplay is supposed to go enhance the story. And the gameplay becomes rewarding and cathartic. And it's not just their story and then there's gameplay. The gameplay feels imbued and one with the narrative. And while this is a bitch in trailer, while the voice works sounds cool. And I'm excited to see like, we got sentinels in here. We got Omega Red. We'll
Starting point is 00:05:51 probably get Sabretooth. We got Mystique. You know, you got all the big hitters that you associate with like Wolverine. Maybe we'll get our Professor X and all that in here. Or maybe even a Gene Gray might pop up, you know, or Lady Death Strike even. That would be pretty sweet, considering his history with her. Maybe Sabretooth. Yeah, I did say that. You have to listen. You have to listen when I speak. Maybe X23. That's how you get fired from here is I don't have to listen to you. You have to listen to me. Right. Anyway. This is a one-way relationship. Yes. Of course. hierarchy.
Starting point is 00:06:23 It's about to change at the DC universe people. So we have this cool trailer and I thought it was a really exciting one.
Starting point is 00:06:31 But let me see if I could find what the story is of it because the PlayStation one has no story account out of here.
Starting point is 00:06:39 Hold on. No wait. There's one right here. Become a living weapon as he searches for answers about his past. Wolverine will do
Starting point is 00:06:45 whatever it takes. Andrew would say I understand that reference which would be a reference to another thing. Unleashing Brewery Bruttle Claw Combat, Violent Rage, and Relentless Determination to Cut Through the Mystery of the Man He Used to Be. Well, well said.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Fascinating. AI wrote the shit out of that one. To cut through the mystery of the man he used to be. Well said, man. I guess I'm a little conflicted because the thing of Wolverines pass is trodden territory over different meanings. But with this being the Insomniac universe, they could change it up in a unique way that we haven't seen before. So I think it has potential to be really cool in a way that still is able to surprise us as lovers of the comics of the games of the character in general. I mean, you know you got to get some suits here.
Starting point is 00:07:41 You got to get some skins of Hugh Jackman. You got to get skins of the, like the classic X-Men 2000. There's going to be so much like X-Men skins. like you specifically like you jackman once coming and you know this gotta exist right one from the movie or all the different movies got to get his classic one of the project x23 or the project uh what was the thing we're guys the big helmet he's like naked and hairy the webbinex program costume yeah um well that was something that really stood out to me too in this trailer is that he's in the yellow outfit which i'm glad they kept and while it was great to see you jackman dawn the yellow outfit And while you get, like, violent moments in there, the movie is still a Deadpool movie more than it is a Wolverine movie and vibe in tone. And this really felt like, oh, we're getting the gritty ruthlessness in the yellow outfit. You know, like they didn't need to like darken it at all. It's still bright and pops.
Starting point is 00:08:42 Yeah, it's bright and pops with the advancement of what these graphics are today. You get that realism. So it's the closest thing we'll get to that true rated R. yeah wolverine in a film and the uh the voiceover work was great and i'm looking up who this person is leum macinty what's he done oh he's sparticus i think he replaced um spartacus in season two oh he's done like a lot of video games apparently he was of war yeah oh he's a big voiceover actor justice league has been a big part of okay so he's like prolific in the voiceover community i don't know what is the game he's probably most known for or the the voiceover work he's most associated with
Starting point is 00:09:23 but it seems like he's getting a lot of love in the comments right now oh jettai fall in order as well okay cool all right sweet i mean everything here seems to be lining up that this will be a great experience and should deliver the goods and regardless it'll make for an interesting let's play video you know yeah maybe and hopefully maybe getting some spider-man crossover a little cameo maybe who knows same studio wow i didn't even like draw that conclusion that would be pretty amazing they're in the same world yeah i see what you did there what do you mean you said that'd be pretty amazing i didn't i intended that did you got me you got me you got me you got me red-handed there buddy genius um well what did you guys think about
Starting point is 00:10:02 this trailer leave your thoughts down below uh i'm super excited for this and i'm glad we finally got a real look at it thanks center for catching thank you guys for joining us we'll see you guys soon Rejugation. This is ching. The tiny community of Peel is situated deep in the woods of northern Wisconsin. It's so small that it's easy to miss on a map. Just scattered homes, gravel roads, and dense, silent forest. It's a place where people choose for the quiet, the isolation in the distance.
Starting point is 00:10:30 A place where life moves at a very slow pace and secrets can stay hidden for a long time. On the morning of Sunday, the 8th of March 2015, the stillness of Peel was interrupted. At the Oneida County Emergency Dispatch Centre, the phone began to ring. Before the operator could answer, the caller hung up. It happened again and then again. Three calls, all from the same number. Then came a fourth call. And then finally, there was a voice.
Starting point is 00:10:58 It was a little girl. She grabbed the knife. It was on the shelf, and she came after me with it.
