First off let me congratulate Liam McIntyre (friend of Couch Soup) finally being revealed as the voice of Logan/Wolverine. After watching the epic trailer I think we can all agree Insomniac made the right casting call. Also, damn this game looks violent. Also also, eff you guys for making us wait till fall of 2026.
