Marvel’s Wolverine Releases on September 15

Marvel's Wolverine Releases on September 15

PlayStation and Insomniac have announced that Marvel’s Wolverine will officially release for PlayStation 5 on September 15. New details about the game will surface later in the Spring. 

Marvel’s Wolverine features a new story based on the beloved mutant, set in the same universe as Marvel’s Spider-Man. It stars Liam McIntyre as Wolverine. Additionally, the game will feature classic characters like Mystique and Omega Red. The end of the first trailer teased that a Sentinel, the mutant-hunting robots created by Bolivar Trask, will also play a role. 

Check out the announcement post confirming the release date for Marvel’s Wolverine below:

The PlayStation Store describes Marvel’s Wolverine as follows:

Marvel’s Wolverine is built on Insomniac Games staples like fast, fluid, and ferocious combat; exhilarating, action-packed set pieces; robust accessibility features; and a gripping story that taps into the core tenets of one of the most compelling comic book characters of all time. 

The game will explore Logan’s signature spin on heroism – which is much darker and more brutal than you might expect from Insomniac. Independence is often the way of Wolverine, although he’ll encounter familiar faces on his journey, like the elusive Mystique and the brutish Omega Red. Some will fight alongside Logan against all odds, while others will unleash all-out attacks, such as the Reavers, an enemy faction that will keep our hero’s instincts on edge. 

In this original story, Wolverine is on the hunt to uncover the secrets of a dark past that keeps eluding him. His search for answers will send him on perilous excursions to exotic locales, including the island nation of Madripoor, the frosted wilderness of Canada and the narrow city streets of Tokyo – all potential battlegrounds for fierce, bloody, destructive action.

Fire Emblem Shadows ‘Sky Lance’ Season Pass Releases on February 26

Fire Emblem Shadows 'Sky Lance' Season Pass Releases on February 26

Nintendo has announced that it will release the new “Sky Lance” season pass for Fire Emblem Shadows on February 26. The new season pass will feature the inclusion of “Ephraim: Sky Lance.”

Some of the free and premium awards include in-game currency, various disciple medals, and Ephraim: Sky Lance souls. If you collect 12, you will unlock the character. Greg Chun voices the character, who wields Thunder Self Edge EX, Holy Thunder, Thunder Shield Break +, and Dark Rapid Thunder. Check out the trailer showcasing the new “Sky Lance” season pass for Fire Emblem Shadows below:

Lastly, Fire Emblem Shadows is available now on iOS and Android. Here’s an overview of the game, via Nintendo and the game’s respective store pages (Google Play, App Store):

The gameplay of Fire Emblem Shadows combines real-time strategy and social deduction. One of the three allies participating in each battle is secretly a treacherous disciple of shadow. Players choose to take on the role of either a disciple of light, aiming to find their way through the labyrinth, or a disciple of shadow.

After the initial battle, players vote to determine who they believe is the treacherous disciple of shadow. The outcome of the vote affects whether the next battle is more favorable or more challenging. Whether the disciples of light can correctly discover the traitor—or the disciple of shadow can successfully deceive the others—holds the key to how the next battle unfolds.

Consider the ally to your left and the one to your right. One of the three of you will betray the others. Can you manage real-time strategy and social deduction at the same time?
