God of War Laufey Officially Revealed
Developer Santa Monica Studio and publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment finally reveal the next major entry in the beloved God of War franchise.
Players Can Make Marvel’s Wolverine Less Gory
Though Marvel’s Wolverine will include brutal combat sequences inspired by the God of War series, some players may be put off by the game’s violent content. In an IGN interview, Wolverine game director Mike Daly stated that the upcoming PS5 exclusive will have an accessibility option to censor the game’s blood and gore. Daly stated that the development team knows that the violent content of Marvel’s Wolverine is not for everyone. Part of the game’s combat will involve Wolverine issuing lethal takedowns with his adamantium claws, which can carve through anyone or anything. Ergo, Insomniac will include an option that will make Marvel’s Wolverine more tolerable for players who may be squeamish at the sight of blood and gore.
