Marvel Wolverine has officially launched on PS5, but Insomniac Games is already responding to player criticism. The game has generated plenty of discussion online following reviews and its September 15 launch.

Insomniac’s community and marketing director James Stevenson says the team has been closely monitoring the feedback.

Insomniac Is Listening to Players

Stevenson revealed that the development team has spent the past few days listening to player feedback. He also suggested that developers were already working on changes based on those responses.

While Stevenson did not reveal specific changes, his comments appear to reference one major criticism.

Marvel Wolverine Scent Trails Are Under Scrutiny

One of the most discussed complaints in Marvel Wolverine involves the scent trail mechanic. The feature represents Logan’s heightened sense of smell by creating visible trails throughout certain environments.

Players follow these trails when Wolverine tracks specific scents during various sections of the adventure. However, some players feel the mechanic appears too frequently and guides them too heavily.

Others believe it reduces exploration freedom by making the intended path too obvious. Stevenson’s comments suggest Insomniac could be considering changes to improve this part of the experience.

However, the developer’s response suggests feedback could influence future updates.

Marvel’s Wolverine is now available exclusively on PS5, giving players their first chance to experience Insomniac’s latest Marvel adventure.

With Insomniac already listening to criticism, Wolverine’s experience could continue changing after launch.
