To no one's surprise, Marvel's Wolverine will be very violent
, by Thibaut
Ahead of its release scheduled for September 15, 2026 exclusively on PS5, Marvel's Wolverine has been rated by the ESRB. The U.S. rating board, unsurprisingly, awarded Insomniac Games' title an M for Mature.
Not recommended for players under 17, the game contains intense violence, including a lot of blood, partial nudity, strong language, and references to drugs.
Here is the full description posted on the ESRB website:
"Marvel's Wolverine is rated M for Mature 17+ by the ESRB with Blood and Gore, Drug Reference, Intense Violence, Partial Nudity, and Strong Language. Also includes In-Game Purchases. This is an action game in which players assume the role of James Logan/Wolverine, as he reunites with Team X to stop a dangerous threat. From a third-person perspective, players use melee attacks and special skills to kill enemy soldiers and robots in frenetic combat.
Players use their claws to slash, stab, and slice enemies; rage modes allow players to enact faster, more destructive combos and slow-motion finishers (e.g., dramatically stabbing an enemy in the head). Combat is highlighted by frequent blood-splatter effects, screams of pain, and dismemberment/decapitation. Battlefields are sometimes strewn with torsos and limbs; cutscenes can also depict blood and gore (e.g., characters tearing enemies apart, decapitating enemy soldiers). A handful of sequences briefly depict a character's exposed buttocks. The dialogue references drugs (e.g., 'it doubled my production of fentanyl.'). The words 'fuck' and 'shit' appear in the game."
