During Tuesday’s State of Play on June 2, Insomniac Games finally pulled back the curtain on the first official extended gameplay trailer for Marvel’s Wolverine.

Naturally, this causes blood to splatter everywhere, visibly staining the protagonist's suit as the battle rages on. This makes the combat surprisingly violent for the studio, featuring crushed skulls, severed limbs, and raw finisher animations.
Interestingly, while the combat leans heavily into gore, the game’s environmental aesthetics don't quite follow that same dark and gritty...
