In Marvel’s Spider-Man franchise, Insomniac Games didn’t pull its punches when it came to depicting the webcrawler’s ass-kicking abilities, though it refrained from showing blood or any graphical depiction of death and violence, which is understandable, given Spider-Man isn’t really known to be a character that’s bloodthirsty or very violent.

That changes in Marvel’s Wolverine, as what Insominac has shown so far includes a lot of dismemberment, blood, and gore.

It’s no wonder that the official ESRB rating of the game is an “M” for Mature, compared to the Spider-Man games’ “T’” for Teen.

It seems it’s not only violence that wil earn the game its M rating, as even partial nudity is confirmed too.

Marvel’s Wolverine Will Have Partial Nudity But It’s Not What You Think

Marvel’s Wolverine ESRB (Entertainment Software Ratings Board) rating has surfaced, and as expected, it earned an “M” for Mature, citing “Blood and Gore, Drug Reference, Intense Violence, Partial Nudity, Strong Language.”

The Ratings Summary mentions that players will see “exposed buttocks,” though it seems that’s the extent of the nudity.

Complete summary states, “Marvel’s Wolverine is rated M for Mature 17+ by the ESRB with Blood and Gore, Drug Reference, Intense Violence, Partial Nudity, and Strong Language. 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’s exposed buttocks. The dialogue references drugs (e.g., “It doubled my production of fentanyl.”). The words “f**k” and “sh*t” appear in the game.”

It mentions “a handful of sequences” when it comes to the partal nudity, and chances are, it’s Wolverine himself that’s naked, and if I had to hazard a guess, it might be Wolverine’s story in the game, and how he was subjected to the Weapon X program.

We’ll have to wait next month to see if that is the case when Marvel’s Wolverine claws out on September 15.
