Marvel’s Wolverine shows out in the latest PlayStation State of Play trailer. But beyond the brutal combat and motorcycle chases, the game’s latest trailer also confirms a major character reveal: Jean Grey.

Shown prominently throughout the new gameplay presentation, Jean Grey teams up with Logan against the Reavers, a cybernetic mercenary group hunting mutants. The trailer gives fans their first real look at her telekinetic powers in action and hints at a bigger role in Wolverine’s story.

Insomniac Games debuted the extended gameplay trailer during State of Play, offering a deeper look at its upcoming single-player action adventure. The game follows James “Logan” Howlett as he tracks down mutants captured by the Reavers, who plan to deliver them to industrialist Bolivar Trask. Jean Grey emerges as one of the captured mutants and a key ally in the fight against Trask’s forces.

Wolverine looks every bit as savage as fans hoped

The new footage highlights Wolverine’s fast-paced and violent combat system. Players can stalk enemies, launch ambush attacks, and unleash brutal claw combos against heavily armed Reavers.

Logan can also use special combat abilities called Techniques, including moves such as Tornado Spin and Bull Rush. Successful attacks build up Rage, which powers stronger abilities and activates Wolverine’s Healing Factor. Push Rage far enough and Logan enters Rage Tier 3. It’s a heightened combat state inspired by Marvel’s Black, White, and Blood comic series.

Jean Grey isn’t just along for the ride. The trailer shows her fighting alongside Logan with powerful telekinetic attacks that can set up devastating Critical Strikes and team-based finishers.

One of the trailer’s standout moments features Wolverine battling Reavers across a highway convoy. Logan races through traffic on a motorcycle. He slashes tires, jumps between vehicles, and takes on powerful enemies while speeding down the road.

Release date, editions, and pre-order bonuses

Marvel’s Wolverine launches exclusively on PlayStation 5 on September 15, 2026.

The standard edition costs US$69.99, while the Digital Deluxe Edition is priced at US$79.99. Pre-orders are available starting today.

Pre-order bonuses include:

Early unlock for the Classic Brown Suit
Early unlock for Reflective Claws
One additional Technique Point
Four PlayStation avatars featuring Logan, Jean Grey, Mystique, and Sabretooth

The Digital Deluxe Edition adds five exclusive suits, five exclusive claw designs, and three additional Technique Points. Insomniac notes that the suits and claws are cosmetic items.

The trailer also teases several future reveals, including additional enemy factions, more suits, and what appears to be a brief look at Sabretooth.

With Jean Grey now officially in the spotlight and Wolverine looking as brutal as ever, Insomniac’s long-awaited Marvel adaptation finally feels within striking distance.

Kirby and the World Beyond is Kirby’s first open-world game

Kirby and the World Beyond launches in the spring of 2027.

Apple isn’t the only company doing a “One More Thing” today. In today’s Nintendo Direct, Nintendo unveiled its next major project, Kirby and the World Beyond. To celebrate Kirby’s 35^th anniversary next year, the lovable pink blob is getting an open-world game.

In the latest effort to make all of its franchises into open-world games, Nintendo is plopping Kirby into a much larger map. Now, if you’ve seen the trailer, you might have had a pesky thought: “Wow, for an open world game, this one seems… sparse.” After all, Kirby looks like he’s trapped in one small map with King Dedede as the sole boss.

Well, that’s because he is trapped. After an attack sends Kirby cannonballing into the clouds, his squishy exterior busts a literal hole in the sky itself.

Yes, Kirby is in The Truman Show. (Not really, but you get the idea.)

A mystical being appears and gives Kirby a magical sword, which he uses to completely dismantle the fake sky and discover the world beyond. The trailer conveniently cuts off as Kirby begins to explore this whole new world, but we’re beyond excited.

After the hero entered the 3D space in Forgotten Land, Kirby and the World Beyond takes the next step and gives the protagonist a much more massive playground to eat and fight. If Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, and Donkey Kong Bananza are any indication, this should be a worthy addition to your Switch collection.

Kirby and the World Beyond drops on the Switch 2 sometime in the spring of 2027.

Metroid finally returns to its 2D roots in new Metroid Ravenous

The new 2D side-scroller comes out next year.

Metroid, the iconic franchise that lent its name to the Metroidvania genre, is finally coming back to its 2D roots. In the latest Nintendo Direct, Nintendo unveiled the series’ latest 2D outing, Metroid Ravenous.

Sapped from her energy, Samus finds herself trapped underground by a group of mysterious kasa-touting beings. She must struggle against treacherous enemies and puzzles in a quest to emerge once again on the surface and face her foes.

But she won’t be powerless. She will have energy-sapping abilities of her own. The trailer even has her pick several creatures and seemingly drain them of their energy. Since this is a classic Metroidvania, this might be how Samus gets abilities to get her across the map.

It’s a unique take on the formula that will surely provide its fair share of epic moments, if the trailer can be believed.

Beyond that, the trailer reveals little more. Thankfully, the wait won’t be long. Metroid Ravenous will be available on the Switch 2 starting January 28.

In the meantime, Metroid Dread is still available on the original Switch and the Switch 2. The Switch 2 version even maximizes the console’s mouse mode.
