The brutal and bloody extended State of Play trailer for Marvel’s Wolverine featured a look at Logan’s classic brown suit from the comics. PlayStation Blog also shows off some skins that come with the Digital Deluxe Edition, which gives a lot of hope that Wolverine will get a large suite of costumes just like Spider-Man did in his Insomniac Games outing.
A montage at the end of the trailer showed glimpses of the brown-and-tan suit associated with John Byrne’s run on the X-Men comics, and PlayStation Blog confirms that the suit is a preorder bonus.
Additionally, the Digital Deluxe Edition comes with the “Incredible,” “Savage,” “Age of Apocalypse,” “Night Hunt,” and “New Leather” skins. And there’s a whole other layer of customization, with different types of claws for Wolverine. Some of those options are probably deep cuts (no pun intended) for longtime X-Men fans.
The presence of all of these cosmetics could be seen as a hint that the game will include a wide selection of fan-favorite looks for Wolverine. And there’s certainly precedent for that, too, as Insomniac didn’t hold back with suits referencing movies and comics through the decades for its three Spider-Man games.
Wolverine would have a lot to pull from, whether it be his grey X-Force suit, something based on his recent MCU appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine, or even his black leather from the old X-Men films. Might we get Logan in a white tuxedo and eye patch?
There’s plenty to take away from the latest preview of Marvel’s Wolverine, but fans get weirdly invested in character skins. We’ll see which threads you can choose from when the game launches on September 15.
