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 of mercenary mutants who are protecting other mutants in danger. In this universe, most mutants are still living in secret, so the idea of Professor Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters seems a while away.
