Insomniac Games' upcoming Marvel's Wolverine may not be an open-world game. The developer appears to be taking a different approach to the mutant's first standalone adventure.
Insomniac Games takes a different approach
The title is being developed by Insomniac Games, the studio behind the recent Spider-Man series. The game is planned as a PlayStation 5 exclusive.
According to a report from Insider Gaming, Marvel's Wolverine will feature a more linear, story-driven structure. The game is said to focus on tight, narrative-focused levels rather than a sprawling open map.
Gameplay emphasizes claws and stealth
Gameplay mechanics are expected to emphasize Wolverine's claws and regenerative abilities. Players may engage in close-quarters combat with a variety of enemies. According to the report, the game will feature stealth sections and quick-time events.
This design choice would mark a departure from Insomniac's Spider-Man games, which feature large open worlds. The studio may be aiming for a more focused experience that highlights Wolverine's character.
As of now, Insomniac Games has not officially confirmed the game's structure. The information comes from a source with knowledge of the project, so details should be treated as rumors until an official announcement.
