The rest of the panel was very focused on how this Wolverine story is nothing you’ve seen or read before. “When we set out to create the ultimate Wolverine game, that meant making sure we brought to life all the attributes that make this character so beloved,” said game director Mike Daly. “Our Wolverine is cynical, honest, and keeps people at a distance. Not only because he knows he’s dangerous, but because he doesn’t want to hurt again. He has a big heart, and that gets him into trouble.”
As a returning member of Team X, Wolverine will work with Jean Gray and others to protect mutants in need of protection, mainly from the incredibly rich and resourceful Bolivar Trask.
“This story is one of the most interesting Wolverine stories I’ve ever read,” said Liam McIntyre, who voices Wolverine in the game. “There are so many twists and turns and things that make my jaw drop. Just you wait. There’s a moment in this where I just… I can’t wait for you to play it.”
Everything that makes Wolverine “Wolverine” down the road will play a role in the game. Apparently you’ll be able to feel the weight of his adamantium skeleton. Berserker Rage comes into play. Of course, he will be able to heal himself. And like insomnia Spider man games, you’ll be able to switch to all the cool Wolverine outfits throughout history. Ultimately, the hope is that by the end of the game, you’ll feel like it’s more than just a game.
“This is the greatest honor of my life and I hope you can trust me with this character,” McIntyre said. “The most important thing for me is ‘What does it mean?’ What does it mean when you put the controller down? The fight will be good, but we’ve also created this really special story.”
