Insomniac Games has released an update for Marvel's Wolverine, introducing new customization options for players. The update, version 1.001.006, allows players to disable certain sensory features, such as olfactory (smell-based) trails from whiskey bottles, sound clues for material boxes, and visual indicators for nightmare doors. These changes give players more control over how they interact with the game's environment. The patch also includes fixes for several reported bugs and crashes, such as an issue where the character Logan’s claws would get stuck while sliding down a tree during a mission, and a problem with misaligned claws in the game's Photo mode.
The olfactory trails, which had caused mixed reactions among players, are now optional. Players can choose to disable them if they find them distracting. However, story-related olfactory trails—used to track characters like Jean in the mission "The One That Got Away"—remain visible regardless of the settings. Insomniac has also made these story-related trails less intrusive by reducing their visual intensity.
Other fixes in the update address technical issues, including a rare problem where objects would turn white after extended gameplay and a display error in the casino where toilets overlapped due to a mapping issue. These improvements aim to enhance the overall experience for players.
Marvel's Wolverine was released for PlayStation 5 on September 15, 2026. The game has faced some criticism over its mechanics and design choices, but Insomniac Games has emphasized its commitment to listening to player feedback. James Stevenson, the studio’s Chief Marketing Officer and Marketing Director, reaffirmed this commitment after the release of the latest update.
Review site IGN gave Marvel's Wolverine a score of 7/10. While praising the game’s visual style and its portrayal of Logan’s character, the review noted that its overly guided gameplay, repetitive mechanics, and inconsistent writing prevent it from reaching the high expectations set by fans of the Wolverine franchise.
