Ahead of its release scheduled for September 15, 2026 exclusively on PS5, Marvel’s Wolverine has been rated by the ESRB. The U.S. rating board, unsurprisingly, awarded Insomniac Games’ title an M for Mature.

Not recommended for players under 17, the game contains intense violence, including a lot of blood, partial nudity, strong language, and references to drugs.

Here is the full description posted on the ESRB website:

"Marvel’s Wolverine is rated M for Mature 17+ by the ESRB with Blood and Gore, Drug Reference, Intense Violence, Partial Nudity, and Strong Language. Also includes In-Game Purchases. This is an action game in which players assume the role of James Logan/Wolverine, as he reunites with Team X to stop a dangerous threat. From a third-person perspective, players use melee attacks and special skills to kill enemy soldiers and robots in frenetic combat.

Players use their claws to slash, stab, and slice enemies; rage modes allow players to enact faster, more destructive combos and slow-motion finishers (e.g., dramatically stabbing an enemy in the head). Combat is highlighted by frequent blood-splatter effects, screams of pain, and dismemberment/decapitation. Battlefields are sometimes strewn with torsos and limbs; cutscenes can also depict blood and gore (e.g., characters tearing enemies apart, decapitating enemy soldiers). A handful of sequences briefly depict a character’s exposed buttocks. The dialogue references drugs (e.g., ‘it doubled my production of fentanyl.’). The words ‘fuck’ and ‘shit’ appear in the game."
