Previously, the story and casting details for Marvel’s Wolverine were leaked after developer Insomniac Games was hit by a ransomware attack. According to the leaked documents, the game will be set in Alaska, Avalon, Canada, Japan, and Madripoor. The game begins with an introductory cinematic, after which Logan will find himself in a cabin. Walter will greet Logan outside the cabin, and they’ll go through a walking segment. Logan will then be taught to parkour and do other traversal mechanics by completing a small course along the mountainside. Walter and Logan will reach a small hunting site and Walter will instruct Logan to hunt a caribou. This is when Logan will further be taught to use his Senses by following glowing gold hoof prints in the snow.
