Marvel’s Wolverine will let you pop your claws whenever you want
Ever wonder what you’d do if you had Wolverine’s powers? Fight for mutant rights? Go on a vigilante rampage? Puncture Scott Summers’ tyres? If it was us, we’d just sit there, popping our claws for the sheer hell of it, again and again and again. Now, Sony has confirmed that Insomniac’s Marvel’s Wolverine game will let you do just that.
Wolverine’s adamantium-coated claws will, naturally, be a massive part of combat. But a new PlayStation Blog post reveals that pressing L2 + R2 will make Wolvie unsheathe his claws, whatever else you might be getting up to.
Standing around minding your own business? SNIKT! Wandering through a warehouse? SNIKT! Picking your nose? SNIKT! You get the general idea. Admittedly, if you think about it, Logan’s claws are slicing through his flesh every time you pop them, but that’s a small price to pay for looking completely badass.
Sony has also, via the article and the above video, shared a few new tidbits about this upcoming superhero game. There’s no news on a Marvel Zombies skin, but Wolverine’s unlockable outfits will include Weapon X, Old Man Logan, Ultimate Wolverine and Patch. You’ll also be able to switch up his claws, with variants including curved claws, bone claws, reflective claws, angled claws and notched claws. We don’t want to think about how those last two must feel coming out.
The game will launch with over 100 accessibility options, New Game+ and Mission Replay, which will let you experience sections of Wolverine’s blood-soaked outing. That latter feature is certainly a welcome one; several times we’ve wanted to re-experience the coolest part of a game only to find we have to start all over again.
You can find the full lowdown on the PlayStation Blog. Marvel’s Wolverine will launch this September 15th 2026 on PlayStation 5.
