Wolverine and the X-Men

The show pays tribute to Aliens and a 1988 comic as Wolverine teams up with other Weapon X test subjects

Wolverine's metal claws are absent in the new season of X-Men '97 because Magneto removed them. This comes from a popular comics storyline.

Marvel's Wolverine finally got its big gameplay reveal during Sony's latest State of Play showcase, alongside first looks at a variety of new characters from the wider X-Men universe. With mutants being rounded up by Trask Industries and other factions, it begs the question: where are the other X-Men? It turns out, they don't exist in this version of Wolverine's universe. That's according to creative director Marcus Smith, who confirmed that the mutant-defending team would not feature in Insomniac's Wolverine. Instead, the game will feature Team X, which is described as a globe-trotting group

From Sabretooth to Omega Red to Ogun, let's break down the major X-Men characters we see in the new Marvel's Wolverine footage from State of Play.

Ahead of Sony’s State of Play broadcast, I had the chance to interview Insomniac about all things Marvel’s Wolverine. Check out the interview in full to find out exactly how the game plays and what to expect, but there are a few features worth digging into separately: one, Spider-Man is not in the game, and two, Wolverine actually teams up with a surprising character.
