\"Wolverine<\/a><\/p>\n

Marvel’s Wolverine<\/a> is set to be an impressively customisable experience when it launches on PS5 later this year.<\/p>\n

It looks like developer Insomniac Games really has gone above and beyond with the game’s range of accessibility and difficulty options, allowing all kinds of players to get in on the action.<\/p>\n

Of course, the PlayStation Studio already established its high standards with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2<\/a>, which featured a massive list of toggles back in 2023.<\/p>\n

However, Insomniac says that Wolverine has both new and improved settings, alongside returning modifiers. In short, this is the furthest that the developer has ever taken this stuff.<\/p>\n
