An original story set against a dark backdrop

In Marvel's Wolverine, the story begins with Logan seemingly ready to leave his turbulent past behind. However, three years after walking away from his teammates, he is forced to return to the mutant team Team X at its darkest hour.

The main adversary this time is Bolivar Trask, a fanatic who believes in the supremacy of humanity. Seeking to capture mutants, Trask's scheme poses a direct threat to the survival of the mutant community. Faced with this crisis, Wolverine is the only one capable of stopping the threat and rescuing his teammates from danger.

To protect the future of both humans and mutants, Wolverine must travel across the world. The adventure takes players through the remote wilderness of Canada, the bustling streets of Japan, and the vibrant yet dangerous fictional island nation of Madripoor.

Along the way, Logan will team up with other mutants to confront the forces threatening them. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, humanity needs a hero, and Logan is ready to step forward and fulfill that mission.
