Wolverine accessibility settings will let you tone down blood and gore

A bit squeamish? Insomniac has you covered, bub.

Yesterday’s Wolverine gameplay trailer made one thing clear: the game is gory as all hell, with blood flying everywhere as Logan uses his adamantium claws to kill his enemies.

If that much blood makes you squeamish — or, if you simply think it’s all a bit over the top — the game’s accessibility settings will let you tone down the blood and gore.

“Because we knew this was going to be a big part of the game from the beginning, we also implemented an accessibility feature to turn off gore,” game director Mike Daly told IGN.

“It’s clearly integrated into the game in a lot of different ways, and so it’s a nuanced feature that is very selective about what we show, what we censor, turning off blood and things like that, just in order to make it more palatable to people who don’t really want to have that part of the experience,” Daly continued.

Yesterday’s trailer also gave us glimpses of Jean Grey, Sabretooth, Mystique, and Sentinels, so that’s cool too.

Marvel’s Wolverine heads to PS5 on 15 September 2026.
