He&#8217;ll have to journey across the globe from the Canadian wilderness to the fictional island nation of <a href=\"https:\/\/marvelcinematicuniverse.fandom.com\/wiki\/Madripoor\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"(opens in a new window)\" class=\"c-regularLink\">Madripoor<\/a> and the streets of Tokyo. Logan will also face some of his biggest rivals, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marvel.com\/characters\/omega-red\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"(opens in a new window)\" class=\"c-regularLink\">Omega Red<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marvel.com\/characters\/mystique\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"(opens in a new window)\" class=\"c-regularLink\">Mystique<\/a> and the mutant-hunting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marvel.com\/teams-and-groups\/sentinels\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"(opens in a new window)\" class=\"c-regularLink\">Sentinels<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Unlike Insomniac Games&#8217; other superhero series, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/reviews\/marvel-s-spider-man-review\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"c-shortcodeLink c-shortcodeLink-active\" target=\"_blank\">Marvel&#8217;s Spider-Man<\/a>, the developer made it clear that a game about Wolverine would have to include a lot of blood.
