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&#8217;s exposed buttocks. The dialogue references drugs (e.g., \u201cIt doubled my production of fentanyl.\u201d). The words \u201cf**k\u201d and \u201csh*t\u201d appear in the game.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>The character whose buttocks will be exposed has not been specified, but as any fan of Hugh Jackman&#8217;s depiction of Wolverine will tell you, there have been a lot of butt shots over the years \u2014 namely in <em>X-Men Origins: Wolverine<\/em> and <em>X-Men: Days of Future Past<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape \">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.367432150313%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/wolvtop.JPG\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;Image: Insomniac Games&quot;\">\n<figure><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/wolvtop.JPG?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/wolvtop.JPG?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/wolvtop.JPG?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/wolvtop.JPG?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/wolvtop.JPG?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/wolvtop.JPG?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img width=\"1650\" height=\"930\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A look at Marvel's Wolverine, where protagonist Logan can be seen without his usual superhero mask.\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/wolvtop.JPG?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/wolvtop.JPG?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"img-brightness-opt-out\"\/>\n        <\/picture><small class=\"body-img-caption\">Image: Insomniac Games<\/small><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> Considering <em>Marvel&#8217;s Wolverine<\/em> will be tackling Wolverine&#8217;s origin story, it wouldn&#8217;t be too surprising if we get to see Logan&#8217;s butt just for old times&#8217; sake.
