For many fans of the character, the main hope is that Marvel’s Wolverine will get an M rating in keeping with Logan’s violent tendencies and destructive potential. Rumors suggest Insomniac is chasing an M-rating for Wolverine, and if those hopes come to fruition, it could open the door for other Marvel heroes to get a fully-rendered adult video game. their brutality. In the long list of available Marvel characters, the character that would be the perfect sequel to the adult Werewolf game is the Punisher.
Marvel has enjoyed tremendous success with several of its game projects over the past few years, and it hopes to continue that noble tradition with Insomniac Games’ upcoming Marvel’s Wolverine. Insomniac has already shown off his superhero skills in video games with Marvel’s Spider-Man and Miles Morales sequels, and many fans are hoping he can reap the gold once again with his mutant genius. The adamantium claw core is everyone’s favorite. Even with just one trailer, Marvel’s Wolverine is filled with potential and anticipation.
The Punisher is no stranger to video game adaptations, but gamers would be forgiven for not knowing. The last time Frank Castle, the Punisher, received a solo title was in 2009 The Punisher: No Mercy, developed by Zen Studios and released exclusively for PS3. However, the character’s most memorable gaming adventure came before that, in the form of The Punisher in 2005. This game largely repeats titles like Manhunt and other extremely violent games of the era with its relentless violence and gruesome interrogation scenes.
Since the release of The Punisher’s latest adventure game, Frank Castle has had to play a supporting role in Marvel’s team games. The character has appeared in the Ultimate Alliance series, Marvel vs. Capcom, and he was even turned into an adorable LEGO brick in LEGO Marvel Superheroes. There hasn’t been any real attempt to give The Punisher another solo adventure in over a decade, but Marvel and Frank Castle’s recent exposure to Wolverine’s Wolverine to a wider audience could change that.
