Sony’s latest State of Play has offered an expanded look at Marvel Wolverinefeaturing new story details, brutal action, and mutant team-ups, it cemented itself as one of my most anticipated games of the year.
In case you missed it, in the new gameplay trailer James “Logan” Howlett, aka Wolverine, is tasked with rescuing a group of mutants who have been hunted and captured by a cyber militia called the Reavers, who have plans to hand the mutants over to Bolivar Trask.
It is also confirmed that Logan will not be alone in his quest, as his fellow mutant, Jean Grey, will fight alongside him in cooperative combat, although it does not appear that it can be played alone.
