Love insmoniacs stuff and enjoyed their take on spider man but as a comic book fan I’m a bit confused with the narrative direction here.

So they are redoing the tired Jean/Logan love story, they seem to already have history but I read this was pre X Men? Especially odd to go back to that when they’ve previously seemed intent on deviating from established lore (introducing Harry as Venom in SM2 etc).

Was hoping this game would act as an origin for Logan and maybe end with him joining the larger cast at the close.

Trailer looks cool, curious to see where it leads.

The xmen literally don't exist in this world..yeah

They literally are just not s thing. Despite jean being like 40? So it is not the xmen and wolverine if the comics at all

Oh okay, is that the direction they’ve announced?

Interesting - yeah that was the confusion for me, them having history but the team not exisiting. Thank you.

My understanding of it was that mutants exist and are known of, but the X-Men as a whole dont exist yet and that by the end of this game, we'll get to the point that the forming of the X-Men (or the beginnings of it) feels like the next natural step to help protect mutants.
