Insomniac also dropped a “Behind the Claws” feature teasing how they’re building the story and combat around Logan’s grittier side. It’s character-driven, bloody, and absolutely Wolverine.
Final Thoughts
The PlayStation State of Play 2025 actually had variety, ambition, and a proper closer. Nostalgia (Deus Ex, Dynasty Warriors), RPG bombs (Nioh 3, Final Fantasy Tactics), oddball surprises (Halloween: The Game, Sonic Racing), and the perfect finale with Wolverine.
Not just a hype reel—this one proved the PS5 era is finally hitting stride.
