It’s Summer Game Fest week, and Sony is kicking things off with a massive State of Play presentation.
We all knew that Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Wolverine was going to be a part of the presentation, and Sony wasted no time showcasing the brutal action we can expect when taking control of Logan.
At first glance, we see Logan in his iconic yellow suit, slicing and dicing members of the Reavers, and he even teams up with Jean Grey as he is on the hunt for mutants in a race against the clock.
Here is a description of the footage from Aaron Jason Espinoza, senior community manager at Insomniac Games, via the PlayStation Blog:
To set up our Extended Gameplay Trailer, Logan is tailing a group of mutants that have been hunted and captured by the Reavers, a guns-for-hire cybernetic militia. The Reavers have plans to deliver the mutants to their client, Bolivar Trask – a billionaire industrialist driven by a fanatical belief in human superiority. We also introduce another major player in Logan’s journey: Jean Grey, a powerful telekinetic and emergent leader of the captured mutants.
The situation is dire, and help is limited. Mutants live in the shadows fearful of those hunting them, while the rest of society lives unaware of their existence. The only ones potentially capable of protecting their own is Team X, a last-stand mutant task force facing its darkest hour, which Logan rejoins after leaving three years prior. For the mutants, the fight for survival is theirs alone.
In his search for the mutants, Logan crosses paths with unsuspecting Reavers. They’re armed to the teeth with advanced technology, equipped with lethal weapons and cybernetic implants. They’re ready for a fight… but so is Wolverine. He can stalk enemies, ambush from above, or shred through them with fast, fluid, and brutal claw attacks.
Marvel’s Wolverine arrives on the PS5 and PS5 Pro console on September 15. Pre-orders are now live.
But that wasn’t the only announcement; there are plenty more to dive into, including MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Ace Combat 8: Wings of the Veil, God of War Laufey, a new installment in the God of War franchise, and more.
