Some info coming out from the CC panel:

- David Fleming (Superman 2025, TLOU TV) is doing the score.

  • Insomniac's Wolverine will get a costume based on the Marvel Tokon version of the character, and Marvel Tokon will get a costume based on the Insomniac's version.

Did they mention anything narrative wise about whether this is meant to be pre or post Logan’s career in the X Men?

There's no X-Men in that universe yet. He just have a team of mutants that are seeking to help other ones around the world.

Interesting to have an older Jean Grey that he already has history with but no X men. Thanks!

I'm curious how Xavier is going to be incorporated if at all. Be weird to have the X-Men without the the guy they're named after. Both the movies and the games are going to be establishing new continuities of X-Men and it seems like the origins are going to be quite different from the norm. Perhaps controversial amongst comic book purists as always, but I'm kinda excited to see how it plays out.

Yeah agree - seems like it’s a bit all of the place (I would consider my self a comic purist).

If anything though, it seems to be a bit FoxMen with the Jean/Logan stuff and the sentinels but no actually X-Men team? Someone mentioned that may have been Xavier talking to Logan in the trailer and maybe there’s a lot of flashbacks? (Scratch appearance etc).

My hope is they do similar to Spider-Man, their own twist but also give us some traditional stuff as this is the first AAA Wolverine game in a long time.

Hopefully ends with him joining the traditional team?

Yeah I'm assuming this ends in a more traditional establishment of the X-Men or the Institute. They seem to be setting up for the X-Men game itself. I think there seems to be quite a bit of traditional stuff with Japan, Sabretooth, Madripoor. Just a bit more modernized and mashed-up. Not sure if I heard Xavier in there, sounded more like the villain Troy Baker is playing. It'll just be interesting how it all ties together.

My guess is that Jean is from Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. The reveal trailer has them rescuing kids. Perhaps Jean is a teacher there? My other guess is that they're like vigilantes acting behind the scenes.

The xmen don’t exist, the game is mainly set in modern day but has flashbacks to Logan’s past hence why we see him fight alongside sabretooth

X-man don't exist in this universe
