Is Marvel’s Wolverine a PS5 exclusive?

Yes, Marvel’s Wolverine launches exclusively on the PlayStation 5. A release on other platforms like PC, Xbox or Nintendo hasn’t been announced yet. The game might come to other consoles eventually, but since Sony changed its strategy for PC releases, players doubt they’ll actually get it on this platform.

What is Marvel's Wolverine about?

Marvel's Wolverine is developed by Insomniac Games (from the Marvel’s Spider-Man games) and follows the story of Logan returning to the mutant task force after he thought he was done with it. Bolivar Trask is kidnapping mutants because he believes humans are superior to them, and Wolverine is the only one who can save them. In order to do so, he has to team up with mutants across the world. Travel to Canada, Japan, and Madripoor, and save the future of all mutants!

Is Marvel's Wolverine open-world?

No, Marvel’s Wolverine won’t have an open-world feature. The game will be narrative-driven and meant for single players. So there’ll be no roaming around the city wreaking havoc like in Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered.
