Marvel’s Wolverine Gameplay Trailer
You watch Logan push through a violent mission as he hunts the Reavers and tracks imprisoned mutants. The footage highlights close-quarters combat, heavy claw attacks, and environmental destruction.
You also see Jean Grey step in, using telekinesis to support rescues and shift the fight in your favor.
Marvel’s Wolverine story explained
You follow Logan as he returns to Team X, a covert mutant strike unit he left three years earlier. He steps back into the field as anti-mutant hostility intensifies and organized forces begin targeting his kind.
The primary threat comes from the Reavers, a cybernetically enhanced militia that captures mutants and delivers them to Bolivar Trask, a man who openly supports human dominance over mutants.
At the same time, Jean Grey leads a group of detained mutants. You see Logan join forces with her to confront Trask’s operatives and push back against the growing campaign of persecution.
Marvel’s Wolverine combat system: Techniques, Rage, and Healing Factor
You fight with a set of named techniques that emphasize speed and force. Signature moves include Tornado Spin, which clears space around you, and Bull Rush, which drives you straight through enemies.
Each strike fills a Rage meter that directly boosts your damage. As Rage rises, you hit harder and unlock stronger finishers.
At full capacity, you enter a Tier 3 Rage state with a stark visual style inspired by the comics. When your health drops low, you can trigger Last Stand to activate your Healing Factor and recover from severe wounds.
Jean Grey supports you with telekinesis, setting up openings for Critical Strikes.
